FINALS FEVER!
The final round of winter sport was played on Saturday of Week 4. We had several teams across badminton, soccer and netball competing in ‘play-off’ finals to cap off their seasons. It was a particularly exciting finish for our Year 7 SAC 1, Year 8 SAC 1 and Senior SAC 2 netball teams who won their grand finals, finishing top of their divisions (team photos above). A big thank you to all of the families, coaches, teachers and spectators who have braved the cold each week to support our girls.
We look forward to the many opportunities and experiences that summer sport will bring in Term 4. Stay up to date with team lists and other information as it comes through on the Term 4 SEQTA Sport Portal.

Knockout Sport!
On Wednesday of Week 4, the 14th of August, the St Aloysius Open knockout basketball team played in the Statewide Knockout Basketball grand final carnival.
Coach Mr Jacob Dickson shared some highlights from the day:
Coming up against some tough opposition early in the day against Kadina and Encounter, playing great team basketball our girls finished undefeated in the first round, moving to the finals round top of our pool.
To get through to the final the girls came up against a strong Unity team with the lead changing hands multiple times in the first half. After a much needed half time rest and chat, the girls came out in the second half firing, scoring quick baskets to pull the lead out and win the game to get us into the grand final.
The final matched us up against an also undefeated Marryatville team. With a few tired girls after playing four games straight, St Aloysius controlled the game from the jump, scoring quickly and controlling most of the game with great team basketball on both ends of the floor.
I am incredibly proud of these girls finishing our Knockout season winning all seven games we played across all rounds, this is especially impressive considering this is a Year 11/12 competition and our team had no Year 12s, and four girls from Years 7-9. Fantastic effort by everyone involved.
A big thankyou to Mr Jacob Dickson & Mr Aaron Casey for their dedication to preparing the team through Term 2 and 3. We look forward to cheering on our interschool basketball teams through their successes in 2025!
We would also like to congratulate the year 9/10 and 7/8 knockout netball teams who both progressed through to the second round of the statewide school’s netball competition back in week 3. Both teams had very competitive matches in their round 2 competitions, but unfortunately will not be progressing through to the final. Outstanding efforts from both teams to have made it so far!
Catholic Girls Athletics Carnival
It was a beautiful day for the annual Catholic Girls Athletics Carnival, which was held on Tuesday 27 August. Each year, a team is selected based on the previous year’s SAC Athletics Carnival results. St Aloysius College competed against ten other schools on the day in track and field events, finishing 6th overall. We had particularly strong performances in the U/13 and U/14 age groups, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Whilst our team was slightly reduced due to the postponed date (original date was in March), it was so great to see a number of competitors stepping up to take on extra events to give our team the best opportunity to score points. We are very proud of each and every competitor, and thankful to the students who came along to help officials on the day.
