Afterschool Rugby League Sessions
Afterschool rugby league sessions have started with around 40 students attending. These sessions are organised through Sporting Schools and funded by a grant accessible through the Queensland Government. This initiative provides students with the opportunity to try out new sports and engage with their community. Rugby league is a popular sport in Australia, and it's wonderful that students have the chance to participate in these sessions. It not only promotes physical activity but also helps build teamwork and sportsmanship among the participants (picture below).
Weekly Sport Stars
Sophie Enders had a busy and successful weekend of swimming competitions. At the DDRSA Junior Excellence development clinic and Fairholme Time and Technique swim meet, Sophie participated in various events and achieved some great results, including two 3rd place finishes, two 4th place finishes, and a couple of personal best times (PBs). Swimmers being judged on both their time and technique is a testament to her dedication and hard work in the pool. On Sunday, at the Allora Open, Sophie continued to perform well, earning a 4th place finish and two more PBs. It is exciting to hear that Sophie will be competing at the Toowoomba Open at Milne Bay this coming Saturday. She's set to swim in a variety of events, including the 100m Breaststroke and 100m Freestyle, in addition to the 50m events. It's clear that Sophie is committed to her swimming and is making excellent progress. Best of luck to her in the upcoming competition (picture below).
Zone and Darling Downs Trials
All Zone and Darling Downs trials will be placed on Parent Portal. Please check Parent Portal regularly or set up notifications on your phone if you wish for your child to be eligible to trial for Zone and Darling Downs sporting teams as you will be required to obtain paperwork from myself. I am unable to nominate students after the closing date so please make sure you do keep an eye on Parent Portal. Any questions, please contact me at brendan.luck@twb.catholic.edu.au.
