eSports Fuse Cup 2023 Competition
The eSports Fuse Cup 2023 competition was held at Ripley Valley State Secondary College & opened by Principal Brendan Krueger on the 3rd May 2023. 17 teams participated in the Fuse Cup from 10 schools across the Brisbane and Ipswich area for the Ipswich Division Championship. Players learnt about how gaming can be used in their education and to build resilience, engage in teamwork, develop sportsmanship, show empathy, learn to respect other participants and building networks. Our students have modelled a great sportsman spirit and have developed new friendships. They were socialising with the students form other schools and engaged in conversations around developing skills in eSports. The Fuse Cup event also highlighted the growing demand for the eSports professionals like network engineers, IT and hardware and also eSports coaches in future. Our students demonstrated the College core values of respect, responsibility and perserverance and were hospitable hosts of the day. Teachers and students from other schools and the Fuse Cup organisers were appreciative about the school facilities and expressed their thanks.
