Rosmini College Junior Sport Days As Rosmini College Headmaster, Mr Nixon Cooper, rightly pointed out in the school’s final newsletter for 2021, 2021 was indeed “a tumultuous year". We all thought 2020 was tough but 2021 was certainly even more challenging for our young men. Consequently, at the end of 2021, it was great to see so many boys outside enjoying lessons. Rosmini also held two successful events: the first was an Inter-House Sports Day and the second was a Junior Athletics Day.” On Friday, 3rd December, the Rosmini College Year 7 – 10 students had an Inter-House Sports Day. There was dodgeball, football, long ball and non-stop cricket in the morning and Yoshi in the afternoon. Rosmini College’s Deputy Principal Mr Jon Dale said, “The kids were
amazing and really got into the spirit of the day. There were a series of closely fought games with Liston leading at lunchtime. It all came down to a house Yoshi competition in the afternoon where Emery snuck home in the end to win the house shield.” On Monday, 6th December, Rosmini College had its first ever Year 7 – 10 Athletics Day. Rosmini’s Deputy Principal and the MC for the day, Mr Jon Dale said, “The day started with the lung-busting 1500m race which everyone took part in. Emery dominated track events whereas Liston ruled in field events and dominated the relays. Emery and Curran won the hotly contested tug of war! However, the overall winner by the slimmest of margins, was Emery. Liston was second, Curran was third and Kelly was fourth.”
