We play our final round of winter fixtures for 2023 this weekend, except for Debating with two rounds to go. Well done to our 1sts and 2nds Debaters who were successful in their competition against a strong St Aloysius’ last weekend.

I want to thank and wish well all of the Year 12 students playing their final winter fixtures this weekend, as well as pay tribute to their parents/carers and families, particularly the long-serving members of the various Supporters’ Groups. It is a big weekend for a number of teams who are vying for premierships.

Tag Team Challenge Surfing Competition

Last Friday we had four students competing in the Tag Team Challenge Surfing competition at Maroubra where they secured 2nd place and were only two points off 1st. Well done to Judah Miller, Milan Mann, Fred Carmody and Cooper Gee.
