Bill Turner Cup Girls

On Wednesday, our Under 15s Bill Turner Girls football team took on Georges River Grammar in wet and challenging conditions. Despite the rain, the team played with fierce determination and outstanding teamwork to secure a 2–1 victory. Their hard work and focus earned them a well-deserved place in the next round, where they’ll face their next opponent with finals in sight. Good luck to the team as they push forward in the competition!

CIS Netball - Congratulations Ella Webster!

Ella W had an incredible day at the CIS U15s Netball Gala Day. Her exceptional talent and athleticism shined throughout the day and as a result, she was selected into the CIS Team! This makes her one of the best mid court players amongst all U15s girls in every Independent/private school across all of NSW. I am incredibly proud of this well deserved achievement and wish her all the best at the All Schools Netball Gala day in the coming weeks. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Sports Academy Leader, Dayla Tikeri who was the coach of the AICES Team and an instrumental part of their success on the day with the team finishing as runners up. We thank her for all her hard work running our Sports Academy and also leading our netball program at Thomas Hassall.
