Touch Football
Year 7 enjoyed a highly successful Touch Football season, highlighted by outstanding Grand Final performances in the Easts competition. Teams 15 and 16 both claimed premiership titles, each securing hard-fought wins in tightly contested matches. Across the season, all teams demonstrated impressive commitment, resilience and development of skills, often competing in challenging heat and, at times, with limited numbers on the field. Their perseverance and team spirit were a credit to their efforts.
To celebrate the end of the season, students took part in the customary Beach Touch session at Maroubra Beach. Playing in mixed teams, they experienced the added challenge of sand-based competition, quickly discovering just how demanding and enjoyable this format can be. The session concluded with a spirited Coaches vs Champions match, with the coaches taking the win in a fun and memorable finale.
Congratulations to all players on a fantastic season. Students interested in continuing their Touch Football journey will have the opportunity to explore Beach Touch again in Term 3 – keep an eye on upcoming sports options for more details.
