On the Sporting Field
JUNIOR SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL It was a close one this year when the Junior School Houses went head-tohead in the pool, with the final result being decided in the last race of the day. Congratulations to Xavier who were this year’s House champions on 626 points with Campion in second place on 622 points and Queens and Chanel finishing in third and fourth places, respectively.
JUNIOR SCHOOL SUMMER SPORT WRAP-UP It was wonderful that we were able to complete the summer sport season given the COVID situation we found ourselves in at the beginning of the year. Even though we weren’t allowed any spectators for most of the fixtures to cheer them on, the students represented the College with pride and produced many fine performances. Basketball had their strongest season for many years, bolstered by some new students joining the school this year achieved some excellent results, with the highlight being a strong win against Christ Church (away) which we haven’t beaten for quite a few years. Our cricket teams continue to be a strong force in JPSSA sport. The team won most of their fixtures and were especially strong in the field with the team often restricting opposition to small scores. Tennis has grown every year since Mr Tucker took on the responsibility of coaching and it will be a big loss to our tennis programme with him leaving the College. The tennis team won four of their six matches which has been our best result for a few years with a very even contribution across the team. Finally, our water polo programme continues to grow in numbers thanks to all the efforts of Miss Adelaide Garland and Mr Dane Mepham. For the last three years, our numbers have increased and so have the performances every week. With so many new students joining up, it can only mean a bright future for the sport as they move up through the College. Mr Luke Thompson Junior School Health and Physical Education Teacher
