Touch Football
Congratulations to our representative touch football team who played at the NSW Touch Football State Final at Penrith on Tuesday 13 August. The talented Stella team had a great day and were very unlucky not to progress through to the finals.
The team had great wins against schools such as Armidale, Aberdeen and MacKillop. With just a very close loss to Tomaree (3 – 2), the Stella team missed out on a place in the finals on a count back. Well done to all members of the team:
Siena A, Kayla A, Charlotte B, Summer B, Giselle B, Zsa Zsa B, Indie C, Ellie F, Matisse F, Holly G, Charlotte H, Mia L, Lara M, Ana T, April U.
Basketball
Congratulations to our representative basketball teams who have played at the CGSSSA and Broken Bay gala days in recent weeks.
Our junior team played at the CGSSSA Gala Day on Wednesday 31 July and finished in 3rd place. They then played at the Broken Bay Championships on Monday 5 August. The team played well all day, winning all round games and their semi final. In the grand final, the Stella team had a very close game against Mater, who narrowly defeated the Stella team by just 3 points. Well done to all members of the team – silver medallists:
Dusty B, Gracie B, Mabel B, Imogen B, Amelia F, Zoey H, Violet M, Isla P.
Big thank you to Yasmina H who came to referee on the day.
The intermediate team also played at the CGSSSA Gala Day on 31 July, finishing in 4th place. They will play in the Broken Bay Championships later this month.
Water Polo
Well done to the three Stella Year 8/9 water polo teams who have come to the end of the NSSWPA competition. These teams have been playing since the start of Term 2. While it has been a tough competition at times, with all three teams dealing with low player numbers due to sickness through the winter months, all of the teams improved immensely over the season and had great fun. Well done to the Stella Red team who will be playing for a medal on Monday night. The Stella White team finished in 5th place and the Green team in 9th. Well done to all players and best of luck Stella Red.
Cross Country
Good luck to Pip Q (Year 9) who will represent NSW at the School Sports Australia Cross Country Championships in Victoria next week. This is a huge achievement to run at this event – Well done Pip!
