I have previously said and I\u2019ll keep saying how<br>impressed we all are for those students who strive for excellence, overcoming adversity, represent<br>their school and clubs to be the best they can be. The following are but a few of those who have<br>impressed over these past few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Dance teams have come a long way over the past three years under the leadership of Ms Bryony<br>Williams. Watching them perform at the Ryde Eisteddfod gave me goose bumps with pride. I was so<br>impressed with their level of skill and execution and I urge all our community to take a moment to<br>watch these students perform. Congratulations to all our teams from our primary members to our<br>leaders, you are representing the College with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following students have excelled in their chosen sporting discipline;<br>Annika Ingwersen (Cross Country), Faith Ata (Rugby Sevens), Amani Jamerson (Water Polo), Peter<br>Domingo (Tennis, who was selected to compete in Monaco recently), Honey Kim (Golf), Lily<br>Stewart (Athletics), Emma Wheadon (Athletics), Sophia Gerakas (Snowsports) All these students<br>along with other sporting teams such as our Futsal team, our Representative Volleyball teams, as well<br>as our Senior Tennis team of Cara Cuzzocrea, Rosanna Cartwright, Heer Arora and Angelique<br>Holtham who came so close to winning the gold medal in the CCC Tennis championship only going<br>down in the final set by one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_5620-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3046\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_5620-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3046\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/image4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3044\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/image4-1024x981.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3044\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/B45CA679-08FA-4919-90F5-B2A1A0B56B2E.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3043\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/B45CA679-08FA-4919-90F5-B2A1A0B56B2E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3043\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_1559.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3047\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_1559-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3047\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_5015.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3045\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/08\/IMG_5015.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3045\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Term 3 sports have started and will continue for the rest of this term. Last week I tried to watch sports<br>across a number of venues which I enjoy each Saturday. What I did not enjoy though was the number<br>of students who turned up late or who just did not turn up at all. There is nothing more frustrating for<br>our teams when a team member lets their team down by not arriving at their scheduled match, or turns<br>up as the match is about to start. If you register for a sport I urge you to consider your team and<br>ensure you turn up to training, arrive at your matches early and enjoy the sport with your teammates<br>win, lose or draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Netball season is coming to the pointy end of the season with a good number of our teams now in<br>contention for the finals. It is now that I would like to see an increase in the tempo towards training<br>and matches so that we all end our seasons on a high. I wish all our teams the very best and no matter<br>the results we are always gracious in both winning and defeat. Positive on and off the court is the<br>minimum we expect from all our community. I am looking forward to watching our students in the<br>next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Term 4 sports registrations have been out for a week and these registrations will be closing shortly.<br>Please sign up for the sport you are interested in competing in so that you will not be disappointed<br>once these are closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing our students all the best in the coming weeks including our Representative Athletics team<br>who will be picked to compete at the CGSSSA Championship on 12 August.<br><br><strong>George Ayoub<br><\/strong>Director of Sport &amp; Cocurricular Activities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past number of weeks our students have been challenging themselves on the stage, courts,fields, tracks, water and fairways just to name a few.
