Halloween – October 31

Please be advised that on Tuesday October 31, which also coincides with Halloween, all students are still expected to attend their regular sports training session.  Missing training or leaving early to go “Trick or Treating” is not an option. We have hired fields and employed coaches and expect all players to commit to the full session with their teammates.

Sailing

Learn to Sail lessons have started on Monday afternoons at Woollahra Sailing Club. We still have availability if anyone would like to join in. 

New this term on Saturdays is team racing. We have one space available on a Saturday for anyone who is an intermediate level sailor. Please speak with Ms Gowan if this is of interest.

Well done to Isobel Payne (Year 10) whose team placed 3rd in the Hardy Shield on the weekend. This is an Open age match racing regatta held at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. Isobel’s team are all aged under 16 so this was a terrific result against older senior teams. Isobel was the ‘trimmer’ in her crew which is a very technical role that involves adjusting the sails according to the flow of the wind.

We wish her well for the John Messenger Regatta (a women’s match racing event) to be held at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.

 

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Congratulations to Ilana Patkar (Year 11) for her performances at the Australia Nationals Clubs Carnival held over Sunday 17 – Thursday 21 September at the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre, Queensland. This prestigious event brought gymnasts from all around Australia to compete with an exceptionally high level of athletes competing.

  • Ilana Patkar (Level 9 Senior)
 Highest ranking: 18th in Ribbon
