Senior School Sports Update

MISA End of Term Results 

A big congratulations to all students who represented us in MISA this term. Collectively, we earnt 101 points for our College, putting us in 5th position overall. This is out of 17 schools in the Macarthur region which is outstanding! I want to extend my thanks to those students who were putting their best foot forward each week and to our dedicated teaching staff who took on the role of coach this term. 

A special mention to the following students who have been named MISA Player of the Term. To receive this award, students must have shown a consistent commitment to the overall success of their respective teams whilst at the same time, giving it their all on the court/field! 

MISA Champions - Girls AFL  

I am so excited  to announce that our Senior Girls AFL team have once again made history by winning their AFL grand final 6 years in a row! This remarkable achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our talented athletes. 

As we celebrate this victory, I want to take a moment to honour our Year 12 girls, who have been instrumental in leading our team throughout their high school journey. These young women have not only excelled on the field but have also exemplified the spirit of sportsmanship, teamwork, and resilience across multiple sports. Their leadership and camaraderie have set a standard for future players, inspiring them to strive for excellence both in sports and academics.

The journey to the grand finals was filled with challenges, but the team's determination never wavered. Each match brought its own trials, and through teamwork and perseverance, they emerged stronger. The grand final itself was a nail-biting affair, with the girls displaying incredible skill and tenacity, ultimately securing their place as champions once again.

To our Year 12 players: thank you for your unwavering commitment and for representing our school with such pride. You have left a lasting legacy, and we can't wait to see how you carry your passion and leadership into the next chapter of your lives.

MISA Champions - Netball 

The Year 7-8 Netball season proved to be one for the ages as our girls played their hearts out and remained undefeated throughout the season. I had the privilege of watching their semi final game where they were down by 6 points but under the fierce leadership of Miss Tikeri, were able to come back and win by 1 point. What made me so proud was not that they won (although I can't deny that I wasn't thrilled) but the way they came together as a team, persevered through the challenge they faced and remained positive even in tough times. This grit is what sport is all  about!

The girls then went on to win their grand final which again, was a testament to not only their talent but their drive to do well. 

AICES Athletics Carnival 

On a beautiful, sunny Tuesday in Week 8, a talented group of secondary students proudly represented Thomas Hassall at the AICES Athletics Carnival.

Each athlete gave their all, showcasing exceptional skill across running, jumping, and throwing events. Special congratulations go to Luke M, who achieved outstanding results, taking 1st place in both the high jump (1.8m) and long jump (6.4m). Christian M also impressed, securing 2nd place in the long jump (4.78m). Ryder W demonstrated great speed, finishing 3rd in the 100m (13.15s), while Matt M earned 3rd place in shot put with a throw of 11.35m. 

Both the Junior and Senior boys’ relay teams performed well, finishing in strong positions.
