Term 2 Wrap Up
Our Senior Girls AFL team came up against a very strong Penola outfit on the last Tuesday of term. Our girls battled hard and fought their way back into the game in the third quarter, after Penola got away to a fast start. Sadly though, Penola proved too talented, running away with a 16 point win. Congratulations to Ruby Hogan (Year 12) on being named the Peer Player Award.
Our Year 7 Girls Basketball team played off in the decider against Marymede Catholic College. Both teams played exceptionally well, however, with the game in the balance, Marymede took their chance and managed to nudge ahead, eventually winning by 5 points.
Our Year 7 Boys Basketball team came into their Grand Final neck and neck on points with Kolbe Catholic College and boy, did the game play out the same way. Our boys ran their hearts out but were beaten by a measly 1 point in a hotly contested final.
Although we did not come away with a Grand Final win, our students should be extremely proud of themselves for the way in which they represented the College and themselves. We are sure that they will learn lessons from the losses and use them to motivate themselves to go one better in 2025.

Concussion and Mouthguards
Should your child play a sport outside school and receives a concussion, it is important to notify the Sport & Co-Curricular Leader and the College Nurse prior to your child’s next scheduled SACCSS game or training if involved.
The Australian Institute of Sport website has important information regarding concussion management (link below). We strongly encourage all families to familiarise themselves with this information, especially in the case of a concussion.

Should your child receive a concussion, parents/Carers will need a ‘Concussion Referral and Clearance Form’ completed by a Medical Practitioner and handed into the College Nurse prior to recommencing SACCSS training and games. This form can be found here:
This is an important step to ensure your child is safe to participate. Their health is our number one priority.
