Ms Kirbi Masters Sports Organiser SPORTS PEOPLE OF THE MONTH KYAH WATTERS LACHLAN EVANS AFL BOYS U/16s 9s TOURNAMENT: Congratulations to the outstanding Year 9 and 10 boys that were selected to represent the campus at the AFL 9’s tournament at Waratah Oval on Tuesday 3 April. The boys picked up the very different set of rules very quickly from watching and playing their first game. A great team effort across the park from the boys. Standout with a number of screaming contested marks was Cooper Garrett, who also converted the front half marks into goals. Cody Heywood was rock solid all day in the fullback position, whilst Jacob Findlay and Jack Smith worked hard and got a number of tough contested positions in the middle all day. The boys were undefeated and made the Grand Final against a towering St. Pius team. Corey Slingo made a great captain’s call late in the game by moving Aidan Storrie forward where he kicked two quick goals to take the boys within one goal. Unfortunately, time defeated our resurgence. Congratulations to all the boys on a successful and enjoyable day. Thanks also to the parents who helped out and supported the boys on the day! Miss Melanie Yorke Boys AFL Coach U/15s AND OPEN GIRLS On a stinking hot autumn day, 27 girls from CCWC went on a sporting adventure to Teralba to compete in a Girls only AFL gala day. AFL was quite foreign to the majority of both teams but none‐the‐less, they went out and gave it a go – and boy were they on fire! The under 15s started out shy and a little unsure, but within a few minutes they had their first point. Marnie Robinson and Ebony Woodcock then came through with the goods, each scoring a goal and the game ended on a tie with Newcastle High. In their second game their confidence came out and a 38 to 1 win with Marnie, Jasmine, Ebony and Hayley all finding the goals. In their last game, the girls had it in the bag in the first half, then St Pius came back in the second. However, they didn’t have enough to take over and CCWC came through with a 25 to 22 win. A shining game seeing Berikah, Jasmine and Marnie all score 6 points. The Open Girls Team also started a bit timid, but quickly fastened their pace. With some beautiful marks and some great kicks the girls were close but lost by 1 point to Newcastle High. The game saw some great skills by Sonniah and Skarlett. Game 2 against Swansea High School saw CCWC go for gold and Olivia Robinson shining all the way home. The third and final game was not our best, but not once did the girls give in! Miss Wilson and Miss Ray are extremely proud of the way the girls conducted themselves on the day and their effort and willingness to try a sport that is often a bit confusing. Our U/15s team finished in a brilliant 3rd place overall and the Open Girls came a great 4th. We look forward to next year! Miss Penny Wilson Girls AFL Coach FUTSAL U/14 & U/16 BOYS REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS The Regional Futsal Championships were held at Howzat on Monday 21 May. The U/14s team defeated St Joseph’s Aberdeen and Kotara High School to progress through to the semi‐finals. We faced our nemesis St Pius in the semi‐finals who ran out convincing winners. This team will give the competition a big shake up next year as most players were in the U/12 and U/13 age groups. Player’s player‐ Noah Iles Coach’s award ‐ Mason King The U/16s team went into the competition full of confidence and were expecting big things ‐ they did not fail to deliver. They easily topped their pool defeating Newcastle Grammar and Toronto High School. They faced Kotara High School (2) in the semi‐finals in a nail biting affair, which saw extra time golden goal employed. Matt Berrigan was our saviour scoring the goal to put us into the final, facing Kotara High School (1). We unfortunately suffered a few injuries which made it hard for us to compete with a red hot Kotara team. Player’s player‐ Seb Graham Coach’s award‐ Tyson Stamalatos Mr Brenden Kelana Boys Futsal Coach REGIONAL GIRLS FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS The U/14 and U/16 girls competed at the Regional Futsal Championships at Howzat. Both teams played extremely well and dominated all their pool games. Both teams topped their pools and qualified first in their pools. The U/14 team went through the tournament undefeated and beat Newcastle HS 5‐3 in the final. The U/16 team were defeated 3‐2 in the final by St Pius, but they did secure a spot in the State Finals. U/14 Player’s player‐ Montana Quick U/14 Coach’s Award‐ Jorja Brown U/16 Player’s player‐ Eloise Metcalfe U/16 Coach’s Award‐ Jayde Platford Mr Brenden Kelana Girls Futsal Coach LAWN BOWLS Lachlan Evans, Max Burrell and Ben Jolley travelled to Bulahdelah on Friday 25 May to compete in the Lawn Bowls HSSA Championships. The boys were the winners of their pool and progressed to the semi‐finals. Unfortunately, they lost the semi‐final but should be very proud of their effort and sportsmanship throughout the day. Congratulations to Lachlan Evans who has been selected for the Hunter team. Great achievement, Lachlan! Mrs Amanda Phillips Lawn Bowls Coach RUGBY LEAGUE U14’s BUCKLEY SHIELD On Tuesday 10 April the U14s Boys Buckley Shield team competed in a gala day at Windale. The team won 3 games against Kotara, Newcastle and Lake Munmorah, with one loss against Belmont High. From these results the team finished 2nd in their respective pool and progressed through to the Hunter Region Super 8’s final on Wednesday 2 May. Congratulations to Noah Iles who was voted Player’s Player. Other standout performers were Taison Williamson, Preston Conn & Banjo Davies. The team upset Hunter River High 12‐4 in the Hunter Region quarter final, then went on to defeat a very strong Rutherford team in the Hunter Region Semi Final 22 ‐ 12. Player's Player = Taison Williamson Coach's Award = Mika Stewart The team contested the Hunter Region Buckley Shield Grand Final at Grange Oval Maryland. The boys were defeated 14 ‐ 12 by a very strong Warners Bay High School team. Standout performers were Preston Conn, Noah Iles (2 tries), Mika Stewart and Jacob West. We will now progress through to the NSWCHS final 20 knockout stage and play away against a high school from Goulburn (Mulwaree High School) on Tuesday 19 June. Mr Andrew Johnson Boys Rugby League Coach U/14s & U/16s KNIGHTS KNOCKOUT Both teams had two new coaches to run them through their games for this Knockout and students were well organised to manage this change. U/14s had Kotara forfeit their first game, a loss and two wins. The loss was unfortunate, as the boys played well throughout the day and with a little more time on the clock could have come up with the win. Coach’s award ‐ Preston Conn Player’s player ‐ Jacob West U/16s only had 12 players available but were competitive in all their games with limited players available. They came away with a draw, a win and 2 losses. Thanks to Paul Williamson and Feonah Gibbons for all your help throughout the day. Ms Kirbi Masters Sports Organiser SOCCER BOYS BILL TURNER CUP Our first round opponents were Macquarie College. We went into the game with a few key players missing and an injury to Blake Carter which would make our job much more difficult. We started the game well which saw us dominate the midfield through the hard work of Mason King and Matt Berrigan. We created some great chances which Ahmed Ali was nearly able to capitalise on. Ahmed Ali scored a great goal thanks to a great through ball from Thomas Tattersall. Unfortunately, Macquarie College made the most of their chances and won 2‐1. The team played extremely well and should go into next year’s competition full of confidence. Man of the Match: Matt Berrigan Coach’s Award: Noah Iles.

I have always seen Term Three as the real business end of the year for secondary schools. By the end of this term Year Twelve have completed their studies and would have graduated at their final assembly on the last day of term. So it is a time when all staff are completing courses, revising, supporting students with specific external projects and completing Higher School Certificate paperwork. I sincerely wish all of Year Twelve the best for this term and I hope that they maximise their final term of schooling. Our senior debating team this term successfully made it to the state semi-finals of the Premier’s Debating Competition. They were narrowly defeated by North Sydney Girls High School but have had amazing success reaching this stage of the competition. Debating is very competitive in this region, let alone on a state level, and I would like to congratulate the whole team – Ben Frohlich, Alena Payne, Sofia Davey, Jake Rexter and Kiera Hayden for their effort and success, as well as Ms Scobie, Ms Harrip and Alexandra Yates for their support and commitment to the team and debating at Kotara High School.
