Student Sport Success

Emily Groll

Well done to Emily Groll (Year 6) who last week proudly represented Queensland at the U12 Girls School Sport Australia National Football Championships in Perth. Emily had a great tournament and scored a number of crucial goals helping the Queensland team to four wins and three draws to remain undefeated at the carnival. The Queensland team finished the tournament as runners-up, narrowly behind New South Wales who were winners of the national carnival.
