Congratulations 2023 FUSE Cup Mario Kart Deluxe eSports Global Champion: Year 9's Alexander Sayers!

Big congratulations to Ramsey House's Year 9 student Alexander Sayers on becoming the 2023 FUSE Cup Mario Kart Deluxe eSports Global Champion!

Also congratulations to Bentley Horne and Lucas Noy for coming runners-up in the 2023 FUSE Cup Rocket League eSports National Competition.

All the boys attended Emmanuel College on Friday for their State Final matches.

Bentley and Lucas were narrowly beaten, while Alex won in a last corner pass, to progress to the National Finals on Saturday.

Alex duly won his National Final and progressed to the Global Final which he also won - amazing job!

It was a great day seeing students from all over Australia demonstrate their amazing skills and good sportsmanship in some very close competitions across the games Mario Kart, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros and Just Dance.

Can't wait for 2024!

Year 12 Pool & Pizza Party | 11am - 2pm, THIS Thursday 26 October (TOMORROW) @ Canterbury Aquatic Centre!

Dear Year 12s,

I hope the start of your exam block has gone well, and thank you for signing in and out as requested - your support is much appreciated!

It has come to my attention that you cannot see the details surrounding events coming during your exam block, so I thought I'd post some details about Thursday's social activity here.

What: Year 12 Pool & Pizza Party!

When: 11:00am - 2:00pm, THIS Thursday 26 October 2023 (TOMORROW).

NB: We need to exit the pool by 1:30pm.

Where: Canterbury Aquatic Centre - Canterbury College.

Who: For ALL Canterbury Year 12 Students.

What To Bring: Sunsafe togs, sunscreen, floaties, towel, change of clothes, sense of fun!

Please Note: The purpose of this event is to 'blow off some steam', have some fun and remain connected with your peers.

I need to please remind you though, that this is still a school event - so school rules and expectations remain.

We will also be sharing the pool with some primary students, so we need to be mindful of their learning space.

I look forward to seeing you all there for some fun!

Kind regards

Mr Mills
Assistant Head of Secondary School (Years 10-12)
