Our Track & Field athletes have continued to perform very well at the invitational carnivals and in particular our middle distance and sprint athletes.
We are at ES Marks Athletics Field in Moore Park for the next two Saturdays in preparation for the the CAS Championships on 14 September 2023. This big event is a compulsory Supporters’ Duty for all students in Years 7 and 12, and is certainly one the highlights of the CAS sporting calendar.
Parents, carers and students were sent a letter earlier this week outlining the event, which can also be found by clicking the button below.

I also want to congratulate two students who represented the College over the weekend at the National Cross Country Championships.
Evan Rowbowtham in the U14s finished in 12th position, and Campbell Groves finished 26th in the U18 category (19th in his U17 age group).
These are tremendous performances against the best long distance runners in the country and the College is extremely proud of their efforts.
This week we celebrated the successful 2023 Winter co-curricular season with our awards assembly. As part of this assembly we also recognised and instigated the Parent Supporters’ Awards and perpetual shield.
In 2023 we recognised Denis and Megan Hickey and John and Maureen Andrews. Both of these families have given so much time, effort and sacrifice to ensure that both our summer and winter co-curricular programs delivered effective catering, lunches, after match functions and presentation evenings, as well as countless other duties for over 10 years.
On behalf of the College I want to say a huge thank you and we will certainly miss you. A big thank you also to all of the other parents/carers in Year 12 who have assisted where they can with Supporters’ Groups and the Parents’ Association.
Well done to all of our award winners which you can view by clicking on the button below.

Congratulations to all players, coaches, staff, convenors and parents/carers on another successful 2023 Winter season. Especially to our 1st XI Football in securing the Thomas Grimson Cup as CAS Premiers, the 1st XV Rugby on the Henry Plume Shield as CAS Undefeated Premiers, and also the 1sts Volleyball in winning the Division 2 premiership.

Some of the adversity and injuries these teams have overcome is a testament to the coaches’ as well as the players’ resilience and belief when others had ‘written us off’, which makes these premierships that much more impressive.
We will recognise all of our award winners at the Presentation Nights over the next two weeks, as well as at our Winter Awards Assembly on Thursday, 24 August 2023.
Well done also to Ryan McNamara and Isaac Smith who competed last weekend at the Australian Surf Life Saving Pool Rescue championships, where both boys were successful in winning a number of gold medals.
