Dear Parents and Guardians,
A warm welcome to the 2024/25 Summer Season. The sun was out to start the season proper and it was fantastic to see so much activity around both the Senior School and Junior School on Saturday.
All good things are worth waiting for. Congratulations to the 1st and 2nd Tennis teams, along with their dedicated coaching staff Mr Higgins, Mr Fernandez, and Mr Solomons, for an outstanding and historic victory over Barker on Saturday. We have come agonisingly close to beating Barker in the last few years, thus making Saturday all the more special. The hard work, determination, and teamwork truly shone through, showcasing the skill and spirit that defines our program. This remarkable achievement not only highlights their talent on the court but also serves as an inspiration to the entire school.
We had a fantastic start to the season for our Volleyball program winning the 1sts, 2nds, 3rds and 4ths against Barker.
This Friday night see our 1sts Friday night lights game at St Aloysius for the 1sts and 2nd V Basketball. We would love as many spectators as possible to support our teams as we continue the CAS season against Aloys.
Please see this weekend’s fixtures here. The Full Co-Curricular & Sport Timetable can be found here.
Tomorrow sees Speed and Agility return to Hordern Oval. It was fantastic to see 300 students show up last year. Hopefully, we can match those numbers this year!
Looking forward to seeing everyone around the grounds this weekend.
The Lewis Report. 10D Basketball
Back playing for the first time in over 6 months, the 10Ds looked well-drilled on the Vicars Centenary Hall Court 1. In what was an extremely close game, the lead see-sawed many times.
The team performed as a cohesive unit from the first jump ball to the final whistle. However, there were several highlights from the group.
After taking a heavy hit in the first half, Joey Olschewski got back up and with 5 minutes remaining, hit a 3 pointer to give us some breathing room. George Poulos followed suit shortly after, shooting a 3 of his own to extend our lead by 7 with 3 minutes to go. Throughout the match Jackson Randles was a standout, scoring 12 points, with numerous rebounds and assists. There were many more phenomenal moments, all of which can not be highlighted here. Well done 10Ds on an outstanding win against Barker, 37-30.
