Term 4 Sport

The Term 4 summer season comes to a close this weekend, with our middle years teams to play their final matches. As always, there are no ‘finals’ in Term 4 sport, however, the final premiership table results will be released in the coming weeks. Teams that finished top of their premiership tables will be presented with an award at the end of year assembly.

A special thanks to the old scholars, teachers and parents who have leant a helping hand this year in support of our young people in sport. The secondary sport program would not run without them.

Enjoy some happy snaps from this jam-packed term of sport!

Catholic GIRLS Netball Carnival

A selection of Year 7-9 students who played in the winter SACSSGSA netball competition took part in the 2023 Catholic Girls Middle Years Netball carnival on Thursday 9 November. The competition is designed for students to apply their knowledge and understanding of gameplay, officiating, and coaching in a fun and cooperative environment that aims to bring Catholic Girls Schools together. Along with the five teams that were entered, a variety of senior students and old scholars came along to support teams in a coaching or umpiring role. The heat didn’t deter our girls from playing some highly competitive games and representing the college with pride. We look forward to entering this competition again in 2024 – Open to any students that nominate for winter netball in Term 2/3.

Sporting Spotlight

Last week four talented basketballers from St Aloysius College were chosen to represent their state in development tournaments across Victoria and New South Wales in January of 2024. Lottie (7LS) was selected for the U15 squad, with her sister Sidney (6LA) and classmate Ajong (7LS) being selected for the U14s Southern Cross Challenge. Additionally, Year 8 student Alek (8AT) has been selected in the U16 East Coast Challenge squad. The girls underwent trials back in October and were up against many other talented basketballers in their age groups – what an amazing achievement! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for these gifted young athletes.
