On what was a perfect summer day, many students competed in the swimming 2nd WILLIS and novelty events. Brooks were convincing winners on the day, defeating Willis, with Nash in third rd spot and Fletcher finishing fourth. 3 NASH Congratulations to all students who attended the Carnival and to the following th students, who are our Age Champions: 4 FLETCHER BOYS GIRLS 12 Years Kinnan Newham Amelia Hughes 13 Years James Delbianco Caitlin Oberekar/Caitlin Bennett 14 Years Griffyn Searles Tenaya Marks 15 Years Bailey Chapman Keleni Treacy 16 Years Jacob Findlay Sarah Delbianco Mr Brenden Kelana Sports Organiser BOYS BASKETBALL Boys Basketball is off and running in 2018 at Callaghan College Wallsend. There has been a large number of students turning up for the twice weekly training sessions, with students from all year levels attending. In Term 2, the boys will train each Wednesday morning before school at 8.00am. This year, for the first time, the school entered a team in the open competition in the Hunter. This was to provide the students with more court time and to get them valuable experience before the U/15’s competition later in the year. We played Maitland, Kotara and Newcastle in a round‐robin style competition at Broadmeadow Basketball Stadium. All players were outstanding on the day and very competitive against their much older opponents. Coach's award went to Reuben Beale who showed great composure on the basketball court. Mr Jivvel Kilham Boys Basketball Coach OPEN BOYS CRICKET On Thursday 1 March, our Open Boys Cricket team defeated Maitland HS by 7 runs in a thriller at Tenambit. Angus Schieb won the toss and decided to bat. Blake Doherty made 16 runs and Daynen Hunt made 15. Connor Perrett and Noah Cooper put on 26 runs for the 10th wicket partnership, getting us to a modest total of 94. We made a great start with the ball and had Maitland 3 for 20 before we lost our way a little. Maitland were 3 for 55 at drinks. A great team effort then saw us, in 8 deliveries, have Maitland from 4 for 77 to 9 for 78, courtesy of terrific bowling from Jack Starr (3‐15) and Noah Cooper (5‐22). Lachlan Evans and Blake Doherty both chipped in with a wicket each to bowl Maitland out for 87 runs. Well done to everyone who played the game in great spirit. 3 points: Noah Cooper, 2 points: Jack Starr, 1 point: Blake Doherty. See you next round boys and lots of hard training in between!!! Mr Michael Psarris Cricket Coach WALLSEND WILDCATS V HUNTER SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL On Tuesday 20 March, the School Rugby League season officially opened with two organised friendlies against Hunter Sports High. Our junior team, a combination of U13 & U14 players, were very impressive in their first outing. Standout performers were Banjo Davies, Jacob West and Taison Williamson whose outstanding efforts helped us topple Hunter Sports High in an upset win. In the Senior game (U15/16s), a strong Hunter Sports team accounted for our less experienced Wallsend Wildcat outfit, 4 tries to 2. Standout performances included Liam Dunn, Ryan Ward and Callan Levoi. Congratulations to all the players involved in the trial. It is encouraging from these performances that 2018 shapes to be a very good year for boys Rugby League. Mr Andrew Johnson Boys Rugby League Coach OPEN TABLE TENNIS Jacob Findlay, Finn McEwen, Connor Perrett and Jai Turton trained hard leading up to the Open Table Tennis match against Maitland High School (who were finalists last year). Jacob and Connor were both successful in their singles matches which had the score at 2 all. Unfortunately, we lost all 3 doubles matches in very close games that went down to the wire. Some great table tennis was played by all four boys. They all should be commended for their efforts. Coaches Award: Jacob Findlay Mr Hagen Starrett Table Tennis Coach OPEN GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Georgia Hatzis, Berakah Imo, Isabella Miller, Olivia Moore, Abi Morris, Jayde Platford, Olivia Robinson, Phoebe Simmons, Steph Thorn, Sonniah Wayo and Ebony Woodcock were selected from the 22 students who trialled for the team. With only a few days post selection to train, they showed up with an energetic and enthusiastic attitude, most sacrificing both break 1 and 2 to hone their skills. The girls played against Merewether High School in the first game, unfortunately losing in a closely fought battle, going down 3 ‐ 2. Wingham High School were next. A similar start saw the girls lose the first game, but an enthusiastic pep talk from a few of the older girls got everyone’s heads back in the game. This seemed to work as the girls won the next 3 games and won the match 3‐1. Our final game was against our arch rivals, Jesmond campus. Both teams wanted to win this match more than any other previous game. This match went down to the wire with some of the best volleyball of the day being played in a hard‐fought contest. Unfortunately, we lost this game but, to their credit, the girls never gave up. All the girls had a great day and should be commended for their efforts on and off the court. Player’s player: Steph Thorn, Coach’s award: Olivia Robinson Mr Hagen Starrett Girls Volleyball Coach SPORTS COMMITTEE 2018 Our Sports Committee members in 2018 are: Jack Grant, Tahlee Jones, Tenaya Marks, Finn McEwen, Eloise Metcalfe, Connor Perrett, Jasmine Russell, Tiahna Skelton, Lily Spooner and Paige Worley.
