COLLEGE SPORT

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Grade 9/10 boys and girls College basketball teams competed in the Southern Regional Secondary Basketball Championships over the weekend.  Both teams represented the College exceptionally well and they both made it to their respective Grand Finals.

The boys' team finished runners up on the day being defeated by Hutchins.

The girls had their grand final match against Rose Bay and came away with the win after only losing one game all weekend.  Thank you to the coaching and management team comprising of Andrea Ross, Kristy Nash and Nicky Bawle who were very proud of the girls and their wonderful display of sportsmanship. 

 

SPORT ELECTIVES

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze students have completed their final walk along the organ pipes with correct shoes and weighted packs as their actual adventure is within a month. Students completed the task in good spirits and ready for the next challenge. The 35 km hike around the hazards begins on 2nd November.

Grade 7 & 8 HIIT classes began their final preparations for the Mudrun on 30th  October by completing a triathlon and attending a step attack class at our fantastic local facility, Kingborough Sports Centre. Inspired by Olympic Gold Medallist, Chloe Espitito, students had to steady their heart rates in a combination of archery, mountain biking and running. 
 
 

DUKE OF EDINBURGH SILVER CAMP

During the first week of Term four, the Duke of Edinburgh Silver class embarked on an adventurous journey, a four-night camp in the north of the state.

The majority of the first day was spent on the bus travelling up to Cradle Mountain where they would stay for the first two nights. After arriving at Cradle Mountain, students settled into their rooms before heading out for an afternoon bushwalk. The evening was spent cooking dinners followed by some very competitive Uno and Pictionary games.

Tuesday was the first full day of activities; the day was spent canyoning through Machinery Creek and abseiling down waterfalls of various heights. It was safe to say that students (and staff) were well and truly exhausted after the long day and were happy to spend the night winding down and packing up ready for another bus trip in the morning.

Wednesday was another day of travelling; the students were up early packing the bus ready to head towards Launceston to go to the Hollybank Wilderness Adventures where they completed high ropes courses of different heights and abilities before it was time to board the bus yet again to head to Derby. The afternoon was spent setting up tents followed by an evening bike ride with Mr Hickey for those who wished.

After having sunshine and good weather for the first three days it started to rain on Thursday where we had planned for a full day of riding. Despite the weather, the students were all keen and eager to continue on and spent the day riding on different trails. Even though students returned to camp drenched in rain and covered in mud, everyone enjoyed their day and were happy to head to the Dorset Hotel for a meal.

 

SATIS GRADE 7/8 AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL

Congratulations to the Grade 7/8 Aussie Rules team who won their first game of the season defeating Collegiate 30 - 22.  Despite being down at half time, the girls took advantage of the breeze and were able to take the lead.  It was a great start to the competition and a fantastic team effort from the girls with many never playing football before.
