Term 2 “Battle of the Brooks” Competition

During Term 2 students had an opportunity to participate in the “Battle of the Brooks” Inter-School Competition. The three teams for this term's competition were: Senior Girls Netball, Senior Boys Soccer and Junior Boys Basketball.

The competition involved playing against local schools Ellenbrook Secondary College, Bullsbrook College, Swan Valley Anglican Community School and Ellenbrook Christian College. The competition was strong and there were a few close games.

We were fortunate to have Grand Final appearances from all three of our teams, which is an amazing achievement for such a new and developing school.

In the three Grand Finals, the Senior Boys Soccer had a very solid second half but went down 4-nil to Swan Valley Anglican Community School. The Junior Boys Basketball team came home very strongly but unfortunately also went down 46-34 to Ellenbrook Secondary School. The Senior Girls Netball final was competitive, playing against a fierce Ellenbrook Secondary School. Our girls managed to stand tall, never stopped fighting and were victorious by one goal. The final score was 17-16. Congratulations to the Senior Girls Netball team. All players involved in this term’s competition must be congratulated for their commitment to their team and school and their determination to win.

We not only made all three Grand Final games, but we also managed a clean sweep in the Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards. Ajang Ajang and Georgia Heggs were very convincing winners of the Senior Boys Soccer and Senior Girls Netball MVP awards. Fred Ruremesha also won the Junior Boys Basketball MVP and shared this award with another student from Ellenbrook Community College. Congratulations Ajang, Georgia and Fred - you are very worth recipients.

A special thank you to all the students, parents and staff that came down to show their support. It was great to see the pom poms and banners and hear the cheers from the sidelines.
