Football Academy:
We completed our final Matchday against Pimpama SHS this week. Please see write up completed from students:
Junior Girls – by Millie
After an early goal from Eva and clinical first half, the girls created multiple scoring opportunities through combinations through the middle and out wide. Unfortunately, the girls couldn’t capitalise from these scoring opportunities, and the only chance from Pimpama saw an individual error end the first half drawn level at 1-1. During the second half, multiple scoring attempts were still created, but once again, opportunities fell wide, over and past the posts with no follow up. Another individual error created Pimpama’s second chance and the final score of the game being level at 2-2.
Junior Boys – by Kobi
The final game for QFSL season for the junior boys was great compared to the rest of the season. We played Pimpama and they are also a great team. By half time the junior boys were up 2-1 by the end of the game the score was 4-2 a great game by all the boys on the team. 4-2.
Intermediate Boys – by Cameron
During the 1st half we played football well as a team with good passing and deserved our goal with good run and pass into attacking positions. However, we were let down by our communication at the back and not clearing the ball which lead to their goal. The 2nd half started with us under the pump but we did talk and clear the ball better and we capitalised on our opportunities which gave us our extra leg up. This saw us knock in three second half goals for an ultimately commanding victory. Overall, it was a good final game by the team that showed what we worked on throughout the season and it was great to end on a good result. 4-1.
Senior Girls – by Sofia
The senior girls started off slow as the opposition scored the first goal of the game. Thankfully the Ripley girls were able to counterattack and score soon after. Unfortunately, the other team snuck another goal before the break to take the halftime lead. Ripley worked very hard through the heat in the second half finding the back of the net three times. Pimpama scored a consolation goal but their comeback was too late. 4-3.
Senior Boys – by Mason, Llyle, Cameron
Within the early stages of the match, despite the heavy defence, Pimpama pushed through and managed to score an early goal, leaving it 0-1. After a goalless Ripley first half and a tough back and forth in the second, Kai Dombroski managed to score an equaliser after dribbling through the solid Pimpama defence and popping the ball int the top corner. The end whistle left the game at a 1-1 score, the Ripley senior boys team take their first step towards getting their first win. 1-1.

Ignite Academy:
RVSSC's Year 9 Ignite students recently celebrated Science Week by sharing their knowledge and love of Science with the Year 3 students at RVSS. The 9s worked in groups to explain the importance of waterbugs as part of the ecosystem and the Year 3 students were very excited to explore a tiny new world. Leeches, mayfly larvae, water fleas and even a dragonfly nymph made an appearance, and the highlight of the day for the Year 3 students was learning that lots of waterbugs breathe through their bottoms! Hopefully we have spread our love of curiosity with the next generation of future RVSSC students.

The esports room recently received significant upgrades, enhancing its already state-of-the-art design. We added sleek floating shelves to proudly display our hard-earned trophies, accumulated over the years.
