On Tuesday, 30th April, our Warrigal Cross Country team proudly represented our school at the District Cross Country Trials. Competing in races with around 80–100 students each, our athletes showcased determination, perseverance, and sportsmanship throughout the event.

After weeks of dedicated training, our team delivered some outstanding results. A special congratulations goes to Tiara (1st), Marc (2nd), and Gregorius (3rd), who have qualified to represent our district as part of the Eastern Taipans District Cross Country Team. This is a fantastic achievement, and we are incredibly proud of their efforts.

GALA RESULTS

Girls Soccer – A Teams

What an exciting start to Gala Days for our Senior A and Junior A Girls Soccer teams! With a big day ahead, both teams boarded the bus buzzing with excitement and smiles - and those smiles didn’t fade all day.

The camaraderie and team spirit were evident both on and off the field. The girls supported each other wholeheartedly, and their sportsmanship was a joy to witness. Their commitment to training each week, always eager to learn and give their best, clearly paid off on Gala Day 1.

The Senior A team showcased outstanding skill and teamwork, finishing the day undefeated with three wins and one draw. The Junior A team found their rhythm after a slow start, bouncing back from an initial loss to end with a draw and two impressive wins.

Well done to all the players, your hard work is showing! I'm looking forward to our next two Gala Days together.

McDonald's Awards: Congratulations to Hajira, Haneet, Myla, Harjap, and Verona for their outstanding efforts!
