CGS AT ASC GALA DAY NETBALL

In August, Canberra Grammar School proudly took to the netball courts at the ASC Gala Day, representing teams in the Year 7/8, Year 9/10, Year 11/12, and Seniors Mixed divisions. This year was especially exciting as it marked CGS's first time competing in the mixed division, allowing our boys to showcase their netball skills alongside the girls.

CGS teams played with determination and skill across all divisions. Our Year 7/8 team won four out of seven games, finishing a commendable fourth. The Year 9/10 team started strongly, securing top positions before facing competitive southside schools and finishing in fourth place as well. The Seniors team, mainly comprised of Year 11 students due to Year 12 unavailability, adapted to new dynamics on the court, with Tori Piefke leading a solid defence, even stepping up to play with only six players at one point.

The Mixed team brought energy and competitiveness, with state league player Jake Handel and Academy player Angus Klar leading the charge. Their speed and teamwork created a fantastic atmosphere, encouraging newer players to step up.

CGS teams displayed courage, resilience, and team spirit throughout the day. All players' leadership, support, and camaraderie made it a memorable day filled with fierce competition and fun.
