Grade of Origin
Last week in Secondary School, we completed the Term 3 Grade of Origin lunchtime sporting competition. This term, year groups have competed against each other to determine which year group is the greatest at Thomas Hassall. Year groups have competed in Futsal, Basketball and Volleyball to determine the winners of the inaugural Grade of Origin Cup.
The students competed in Volleyball for their final round. The competition has been hotly contested and spectator emotions at fever pitch throughout the tournament.
At the start of the week, Year 8 continued their dominance over Year 7 with a big win in Volleyball to take the series in a clean sweep. In the Year 9 and 10 competition, as well as in the Year 11 and 12 Competition, the week started with the series tied at 4-all, with the deciding game Volleyball to be played. In the end, we witnessed two thrilling final games with both Year 10 and Year 12 taking out their competitions in some very tense final moments.
Most Valuable Players of the Match:
Year 8: Jai N
Year 10: Mekai M
Year 12: Monson A
What the Students and Staff said:
- “I’m really proud of our efforts as a group of Year 7’s. We will be back bigger and stronger next year.” Year 7 Team Captain Moussa S reflecting on his side’s loss to Year 8.
- “Well done year 12, you played well. We are glad something went right for you this year.” Year 11 students Aya S and Kassandra B.
