Hi Sport fans!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for sport with Comets, Yagera and House days. We have had big successes across the park and we have even more sport coming in the next couple weeks!

Yagera Sport

We have finished up our last rounds of the first season of Yagera Sport. Our teams performed admirably, with this being our most successful season yet. More than results, we are even more impressed with the sportsman like professionalism that our students conducted themselves with whilst off campus grounds.  

Futsal

The Futsal teams were the first sport to play at Yagera this season, starting our season off with a number of championships. Both our new Year 7 teams took first place and will now progress to met finals. Not wanting to be outdone, the open boys also came out with a championship and will join the year 7s at met finals. Thank you to Mr Dunn, Mr Dawson, Mr Sharma, Mr Vargas & Mr Philip for coaching the boys this season.

Volleyball

The volleyball teams, our largest sport at the college, had a fantastic day competing at Nissan arena. Overall, the 7 girls placed second, the 8 girls place 7^th, 9 Girls placed 4^th, 10 Girls 8^th and open girl’s 4^th. Thank you to Mr Dunn, Mr Simmons and Ms McGovern for their continuous efforts training our volleyballers.

Touch Football

The boys touch football teams did very well. The Grade 8 boys fought hard but went down in semis by one point to Woodcrest SHS, after going five minutes in drop offs. Overall, they placed third. The Grade 10 boys made it to the Grand Final, Going down 6-3 to Bellbird SHS. A big thank you to Ms Kahotea, Mr Exelby & Mr Clifford for all your hard work training the boys so far this year.

 

Rugby League

Our Ruby League boys played at the South Rugby League Fields in Acacia Ridge. The boys came out strong winning their first game against Springfield. Our luck did not last after we were defeated by Glenala & Forest Lake. The boys finished the day in 5^th place. Good work to Mr Watt & Mr Clifford for training the boys this term.

 

Basketball

Our Basketball teams had a home field advantage, playing in the Raptordome for their Gala Day. Our Year 8 Boys finished the day in third and our year 8 girls finished the day in fourth. The year 10 girls were our flagship team taking out the tournament. The girls will now progress to met finals. Well done to Mr Shaw & Ms Rizvanovic in training these teams this season.
