Congratulations to the Year 8 Cricket team who played in their Southern Metropolitan Regional Round Robin last week. The girls, coached by Year 10 students Lily Pearce and Briar Brown and assisted by Mr Hull played with determination, fairness and were supportive of each other. They have now successfully qualified for the State final in a few weeks time. Good luck girls!
At last week’s College Assembly the 40 student coaches ranging from Year 9 to 12 were awarded with a certificate to recognise their efforts. The students have been involved in trial and training sessions throughout the year and have done an impressive job. Students in Year 9 and above in 2020 who are interested in becoming a student coach will need to keep an eye on emails and Compass for further information.
Over the next two weeks we have the Intermediate Basketball team and Year 8 Table Tennis team heading out to play in their regional final. Good luck to these students and thank you to the staff coaches for assisting.
