Congratulations To Our Representative Cricketers!
Congratulations To Our Representative Cricketers!
During the September school holidays, Year 10 student Sarah Walker, was part of the Queensland Under 19s School Team in Caloundra.
They played three T20s and two 50-Over games against New South Wales.
Across these five clashes, Sarah took five wickets.
Captain of the South Coast Team, our Year 7 student Paige Simpson (pictured), also performed well with bat and ball.
She won the QLD School Sports title, but narrowly missed selection in the QLD team, despite her outstanding performance.
Our Year 8 student Nissanpal Saroya represented South Coast at the State Championships up in Rockhampton.
Due to the wet weather, they unfortunately missed out on two games.
However, that didn't stop Nissanpal from reaching the competition's highest score of 125 runs and taking 5 wickets.
At the end of the tournament, he was awarded with selection in the QLD Under 12 School Team, that will compete at the Nationals down in Ballarat at the end of Term 4.
Congratulations and well done to Sarah, Paige and Nissanpal on their achievements!
Regards,
Mr Alister McDermott
Coordinator of Cricket

2022 Music Fest Gold Award Recipients: Junior Singers & Junior School Choir
2022 Music Fest Gold Award Recipients: Junior Singers & Junior School Choir
Congratulations to our Junior Singers and Junior School Choir who both received a Gold Award at the 2022 Music Fest today.
Both groups performed at the Iona College Performing Arts Centre along with our Bella Voce ensemble.
Music Fest offers a platform for Primary and Secondary students to showcase their talents in a supportive concert environment.
All ensembles and choirs are professionally adjudicated by Queensland and interstate adjudicators, via a relaxed grading system.
It enables school students to perform structured, appropriately set, music scores - where all groups are rated against other ensembles at their level, through expressed performance indicators.
Music Fest is where excellence in performance and education can be celebrated each year across various Greater Brisbane venues.
Congratulations to all our talented Canterbury music students who competed this morning!
