It was a privilege this week to drive the Senior Girls AFL team with their coach to their semi final fixture as part of our regular Tuesday Sports Program. On a beautiful sunny day out at a local oval, it was wonderful to be able to watch the skill, competitiveness and spirit of fair play exhibited by the whole team. Watching the combination of aerial ruck contests, the speed and catching ability of our side and finally the kicking prowess as set shots for goal from distance and amazing snaps for goal from tight angles were converted with precision was just awesome. I want to commend all of the senior girls who took the field and played their hearts out under the expert coaching of Mr Weir and congratulate them on prevailing to once again take their place in the grand final of this competition.

Another particular high this week was the excellence on display at the College assembly. Senior School were able to see the intricate design and creation skills of the Year 9 Visual Arts class as the wearable art pieces were modeled and explained. They were truly incredible and showed the vast talents of some of our most creative students. It was also lovely to see our award winners from the recent ICAS History competition take the stage to receive their certificates. Finally it was excellent to our football captain Jy interviewing Adrian on his recent accomplishment of being selected for a national team!

We have so many talented students across the College and it is such a joy to be able to celebrate their achievements as a College. Thank you to all families for continuing to support your children in their areas of passion by driving them to all their trainings, assisting them with additional resources, listening to them practice their instruments, reading through their work and taking the time to kick or catch a ball with them in the back yard!
