Year 7 – 12 Sport

Competitive Sport News:

Basketball:

Our Senior Boys and Girls Basketball teams recently travelled to the Gold Coast to represent the school at the Champion Basketball School of Queensland Tournament.

The girls struggled early but improved with every game eventually finishing 9th and importantly securing their spot in the state championships next year without having to qualify.

The boys also grew and improved as the tournament progressed finishing 4th after a heartbreaking last second loss in the semi-final.

A huge thank you to all students and staff who participated and a special mention to our graduating Year 12 players on your commitment to the program over the last few years.
