Competitive Sport

Well done to all students who represented the College over the last week.

Our basketball teams continued in their Friday night competition with our Senior A Boys team having a strong win over Unity College. The Senior E Boys and Senior D Girls also recorded wins with the Senior D Girls still remaining undefeated so far this season. Good luck to all players for their games this Friday.

The rugby season kicked off on Wednesday evening with our Under 16 Girls and Under 14 Boys teams playing their first games. Both teams unfortunately went down on the scoreboard but played strongly and enjoyed the opportunity to get out on the sporting field.

Lastly, both our junior and intermediate touch football teams recorded strong wins in their games on Wednesday evening. The Junior Girls had a convincing 7-1 win over Sunshine Coast Grammar School and the Intermediate Girls had a 5-1 win over Good Shepherd Lutheran College.
