Director of Sport and Co-curricular
I would like to express my gratitude to my team in the Sports office, coaches, students and parents for making Sport and Co-curricular activities a reality here at the College.
One more term comes to its end and we finish very strong on all fronts: great rates of engagement in Saturday Sport (from Years 3-12) and an increasing level of competitiveness.
In Representative Competitions we are making our presence across the Associations we are part of and our students have been showing great skills and game understanding levels as well as great sportsmanship.
Our Co-curricular Clubs have also been a success and I thank the teachers in charge for making it such a great experience for our students.
I also would like to take this opportunity to (re)introduce Mr Yuri Chernenko to our Sports Department. After years of success running our Volleyball Program, he returns to take it back to the higher heights and to promote engagement in the Representative and Invitational domains. I feel blessed to have him joining us in the office sharing his passion and expertise.

Debating and Public Speaking
On Friday, 20 June, our Years 7, 8, and 9 Debating teams participated in the CSDA semi finals. I’m delighted to share that our Year 8 team delivered an outstanding performance and has successfully progressed to the finals!
While our Year 7 and Year 9 teams engaged in very close and competitive debates, they unfortunately did not advance. However, they remain enthusiastic and motivated, knowing they’ll have another opportunity next year to go even further.
The finals will take place at Marist College Eastwood, where our Year 8 team will be debating against St Patrick’s College, Campbelltown.

Congratulations to our U13 and U15 representative teams who participated in the NSW Schools Cup in Camden on 19 June. This is the first time the College netball teams have taken part in this competition which was enjoyed by all. Both teams had some very close games and some great wins. This experience provided an opportunity for the players to improve their skills against new and talented opposition players and schools and are looking forward to playing again next year.
The teams will participate in the NSWCCC competition on 20 August but in the meantime will be working hard on court during the second half of the IWNA competition at Cintra along with the other 25 College teams in the lead up to finals commencing 23 August.
We will be holding free netball clinics on site at the College during the July holidays.
4 July – Feeding the Circle, a must for middies and shooters. Suitable for 14 years plus.
18 July – Junior Clinic, fancy footwork, perfect passing & sharp shooting. Suitable for 13 years and under.
Further information will be released shortly.

Representative Dance
Our representative dancers have continued working hard within their training sessions with their coaches in preparation for more eisteddfods. We also had our Primary White Dance Team perform at the Jane of Aza playgroup which was a beautiful moment for the students to share their skills and performance with the wider community.
Our senior representative dancers have continued on their eisteddfod expedition, where they competed at the Extreme Dance Competition held at Abbotsleigh on Sunday 15 June. All senior teams represented the school with pride and danced very well. A special mention to the follow four teams who received placings:
1st Place: Senior Hip Hop Red Team
3rd Place: Senior Hip Hop Black & Senior Jazz Red Teams
Highly Commended: Senior Contemporary
We look forward to our junior teams competing at their first eisteddfod in Week 1 of Term 3.
