SACSSGSA Sport
We closed off the Term 1 summer season in the last week of March, with some great success across all sports in Round 6. Notably, our middle touch teams faced each other for a second time since Round 1 when they drew. It was another close game, with our Year 8s winning 2-1, however, the real highlight was seeing how far both teams have come in since the start of the season, and the comradery, fair play and school spirit shown by all players.
Whilst there are no finals in Term 1, I’d like to give a special mention to the following teams who have gone undefeated all season:
- Middle SAC 1 Tennis
- Middle SAC 1 Water Polo
- Yr 7 SAC 1 Volleyball
- Middle SAC 2 Volleyball
Winter Coaches Wanted!
St Aloysius College are seeking coaches for our Year 7-12 Winter teams – particularly soccer and netball.
Our coaches (many of whom are valued old scholars or members of our wider school community) play a vital role in shaping not only our sporting program, but also the character and confidence of our students. Coaching at St Aloysius College is a rewarding opportunity to give back, stay connected, and model our Mercy values of respect, courage, and service in a meaningful way.
If you or someone you know, has experience in soccer or netball and a desire to inspire and support young people, we would love to hear from you.
