Boarding 

It has been a huge week and hard to believe it is already the last week of Term 2. It has been a huge week in sport with many of our boarders excelling. Seth Fiegert was awarded the Best on Ground for the Hamilton Kangaroos on Saturday in their second win on the trot. It is fantastic to see all of his hard work and commitment paying off.

Fergus Roberts on the other hand, most casual man alive, continues his hot streak in hockey and footy. He had a big day out on Sunday kicking 3 goals and winning the Best on Ground for the College Magpies. He then leisurely strolled across to the hockey field at Pedrina and scored 4 goals for the Men’s A Grade side in their win against the Bulls. If anyone would like more detail, please ask Fergus as he enjoys nothing more than talking himself up.

This week Isaac Hocking was named in the South Australian Under 13s State Hockey Team. He is a great young man and clearly a quality player. A star on the rise!

22 boarders departed on Wednesday afternoon on the Winter ICCES Tour to Shepparton. I am also attending and am looking forward to seeing them dominate in basketball, hockey and netball.

Our League of Legends gamers came back strongly after their defeat last week to notch up a win. Well done boys!

Unfortunately, due to shocking weather on Sunday we were forced into cancelling our paddock BBQ. Thanks to McClure’s for the kind offer. We have postponed this event until next term.

It was great to welcome back our Year 10 boarders to hear about the amazing time they had in Central Australia. I think the Year 9s should already be getting excited for next year after the stories and experiences we have heard about.

Leo Pan, Vicky Zhu and Celine Chen have been completing their work experience at the Junior School this week. I have heard lots of positive comments and judging from the photos the kids adore them. Three wonderful young people!

Thank you for a great term and I wish you all a very happy and relaxing holiday.
