The Broken Bay Surf Lifesaving event never disappoints, a day at Terrigal Beach with a great bunch of kids is always a good day out.  On Tuesday we took 14 students to this event and had some success on the beach and in the water.  Congratulations to the following students who placed:

Majestik F – 2nd Junior Beach Flags and Sprit final

Kye Mc – 2nd Junior Sprint

Zach M – 1st Junior Board, 3rd Junior Ironman and 5th in the Swim

We had Evie S place 5th in the Junior Beach Flags and final of the Junior Sprint.  Both Lily T and Zali Mc made the Intermediate Sprit final and Zali, placed 4th and Lily 5th in the intermediate flags.  Great results from students who have never competed in a surf lifesaving carnival.

Zach was super keen to get into as many water events as possible and made combined teams for the board relay with St Paul’s and St Peter’s placing 4th.  He placed 6th in a combined Taplin event with St Edwards and Kobi G from St Brigid’s.

Thank you to Mr Philpott for watching the students in the water events and Ms Paliskis for taking on the role as shoreline water safety.  A big day for all involved and we appreciate your time and support at these events. Special thanks to Lakes Beach SLSC for their continued support.  They are always happy to let our students participate in this event and use their equipment.  We love the relationship we have with The Lakes Beach Surf Club.

We say this often, but our students really do get in and have a good go! Watching the students show each other how an event is done, cheering on the sidelines, and showing confidence in mixing with other schools.  This is a real testament to our students and the College.  They have passion, and a will to be involved, and they do it with pride.  Well done to all in the surf lifesaving team 2023.

Our Stage 5 PASS students have been taking advantage of the nice weather playing softball on the bottom oval.

It’s always great seeing our students outside and having fun.

Please join us in congratulating Chelsea C of Year 7.

Chelsea at the end of term 3 received her first Dan in Karate.  This is a major achievement for Chelsea who attends Mingara BBMA.

Chelsea is currently training 3 days a week for a minimum of 2 hours.  Leading up to her prep cycle to obtain her first Dan, Chelsea trained 6 days a week for 2 hours for a period of 8 weeks straight.

Well done, Chelsea all your hard work and dedication has paid off.  Keep it and we wish you the best of luck in the future with Karate.

Last week our Intermediate girls (year 9&10) competed in their first AFL Broken Bay Gala Day. What a great day it was, to see our students get in and have a good go at a new sport to all of them.  It’s really something special and great to be a part of.  Our girls played extremely well and together as a team.

The day was filled with Laugher and so much encouragement on and off the field.

Well done to our AFL team for 2023.

Congratulations to Zack M in Year 8 for achieving his Black Belt.  Achieving a black belt martial arts is a significant accomplishment that requires dedication, commitment, and continuous effort.  It signifies a high level of competence and knowledge.

Well done, Zack! We are proud of you.

On Monday, 31 students from the College attended Broken Bay Athletics Carnival held at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre, Homebush.  With an early start all our students were in good spirits and ready to take on the track and field events.  The first events for the day were the 1500m, we watched 3 of our students come in 1st place.  This started the day off on a high note. The place getting didn’t stop there, we had a very successful day for a small team between the field and track events.

Our students could be heard from the grandstand cheering every runner on as they came past. It’s lovely to be a part of the atmosphere and watch our student and parents take it all in and support each other.

Congratulations to the following students on their results:

Jack M – 3rd 1500m, Isaiah R – 1st 1500m – 3rd 800m, Toby W – 1st 1500m, Rose D – 1st 1500 – 1st 400m, Emily H – 3rd Shotput – 2nd Javelin – 3rd Discus, Oliver K – 1st Long Jump – 2nd High Jump, Kye Mc – 1st 400m – 2nd high jump – 3rd 1500m, Jayden A – 3rd 200m.

We wish the following students the best of luck on the Broken Bay team at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre at Homebush on Monday the 11th of September.

Isaiah R & Oliver K of Year 10, Kye Mc & Toby W of Year 8, Rose D of Year 7 Good luck, we can’t wait to hear how you all did at CCC level.

Last week our students and staff participated the College’s Compassion Cup Challenge.

We were blessed with amazing weather as we enjoyed a BBQ lunch and cheered on our House colours in the Oz tag challenge.  Congratulations to Kildare, who came out victorious!

A big Thank you goes out to everyone who organised the afternoon.  It was a huge success with funds raised going to Year 12 end of year events.

Congratulations to Ryan C of Year 11 who recently competed in the Broken Bay Golf Championships held at Gosford Golf Course.  Ryan came first overall in the Storke Event, shooting 76 7+.

Well done Ryan on a great result.

Recently, Isaiah R of Year 10, competed in the Multisport National Championships held in Townsville.

From his results during this event, Isaiah has successfully made it to the Australian team 2024 for the Duathlon Sprint in his age group.

This is another great result from Isaiah, in a sport he is proving to be amazing at and is very passionate about.

We are certain we will be hearing of many more achievements from Isaiah before the National Championship in 2024.

Well done, Isaiah.
