College Sport
Rain, rain and more rain. That was the unfortunate theme for week 2 with a lot of sport being impacted by weather conditions. This resulted in the cancellation of both the Boys and Girls Football Diocesan Championships set to be hosted by our College and down in Nowra. In addition the open boys football championships were also cancelled in Wollongong making this event a selection trial. Some of our MISA teams were fortunate enough to squeeze a game in on some of their well drained ovals in the Campbelltown area. A brief outline of these clashes can be found below.
Bill Turner Trophy
The girls kicked off their campaign in style with a big win over Ambarvale High School at Lynwood Park. It was a wet affair with the rain coming down but this did not stop the girls from being clinical in front of goal putting 10 past their goalkeeper. Both Selenda Mifsud and Charli Tule were clinical in front of goals both leaving the field with hat tricks to their names. The girls now turn their attention to their upcoming game against Good Samaritan later this month. Well done girls.
Bill Turner Cup
Like our fearless girls team the boys stepped up in a round robin format playing both round 1 and 2 on the same day. They headed down to Lynwood Park to take on Elizabeth Macarthur with the boys being superb in front of goal and taking their chances winning 11-0. This win took them to their second round clash against Unity College who kept toe to toe with our boys for the first half trailing 2-0. The second half saw their superior fitness shine scoring 5 goals to end the fixture in a 7-0 victory to Mount Carmel. The boys now take on St Gregory's College in the 3rd round. Congratulations on a successful day and we wish them the best of luck in their upcoming fixture.
Deniel was invited to participate in the PHO3NIX Future Camp on the Gold Coast was a remarkable experience. Selected as one of 20 elite athletes from Australia and New Zealand, Daniel delved into intensive workshops led by sports icons like John Steffensen and Belinda Granger. From mindset to nutrition, she gained valuable insights to elevate her racing career. Highlights included a surf lifesaving session with Olympian Ky Hurst and a visit to the Australian Institute of Sports Kayaking facility, where she interacted with Olympic athletes. Deniel's eagerness to apply her newfound knowledge sets her apart as a standout motorsport who is aiming to one day be in the F1 Academy. Well done.

VS MAS Loss 17-11 |
Alana Leechburch Auwers |
The girls started the game strongly getting points on the board early with some good offensive work. They struggled to continue this momentum with Macarthur Anglican managing to pull some points together and put themselves ahead. Some great defensive work from the girls wasnt enough to get the job done narrowly being defeated. A positive start to the season. |

VS MAS Loss 40-32 |
Ritchie Kan |
The team played a great first game and were unlucky to walk away with a loss. Despite missing several players the boys put up a great defence against a physically larger team, working hard to get rebounds and put pressure on the ball. At the same time, a quick offence put us in a good scoring position throughout the game. We were neck and neck with MAS all through the game with just the last 3 minutes of play letting us down with a few missed opportunities and a strong push by the opposition that got them out in front. The team should still be congratulated on a great effort. They worked together and supported each other well. |

VS MAG Win 59-22 |
Rhianna Gascoine |
The girls were excited to get the season going and came into the game with enthusiasm and passion. Losing the toss the girls were sent into bat and posted a solid total of 59 runs. Rhianna Gascoine was excellent with the bat posting the largest total of the game with Mia Redding and also hitting a big six at the end of the spell. The girls started the bowling attack with some fantastic bowling and two outstanding catches by Jorja Lewis. Rhianna also performed exceptionally well behind the wicket with four stumpings. Congratulations to the girls for a solid win to start the season. |

Rugby League Years 10-12 Boys HARK |
VS BAC Won 46-0 |
Paul Mikaele | The team played a good game today and worked very well as a team defensively to ensure that the opposition remained scoreless. We played attacking rugby league after setting a platform through our forwards and we were able to score 9 tries. We look forward to next week to see if we can put back to back games together. The MVP for this game is Paul Mikaele. |

Football Years 10-12 Boya KAWR |
VS MAG Loss 1-0 |
Riley Keith | A great first hitout for the boys against Magdalene this week. Although we walked away with a 1-0 loss, the boys should be proud of their efforts as they learnt each others playing styles. A special mention to Riley Keith who showed nice composure on the ball, helping transition the boys from defence to attack. |

Football Years 10-12 Girls HEAS |
VS MAG Loss |
Lara Underwood |
The girls were outdone by a full strength Magdalene side. Unfortunately many of the girls were sick and we had to play with only 7 players making it a very difficult afternoon on the pitch. We move onto our next match. |
