New record recorded at Fun Run Cross Country

On the 6^th of May, students pounded the footpaths around Proserpine in our annual school Fun Run Cross Country.

All students participated with a positive attitude and took on the 4km course as fast as they were able. As students crossed the finish line, they earned points towards our Cross Country Shield and House Cup. Oxley House finished in first position, Flinders second, Kennedy third and Cook fourth. Overall, we saw the vast majority of students running and or walking the course, with sunny weather and a cool breeze making the course enjoyable.

The fastest female and fastest overall competitor was 13 year old, Shailee Mewha with a time of 13 mins 14 seconds and the fastest male time was Fyn Gunn in 13 mins 48 seconds. Well done to you both!

This result saw them advance to the grand final against Catherine McAuley College where they were unfortunately defeated 2-0.

Mr Philipson and Mrs Smith praised our students' sportsmanship and skills, with Samuel Frumento, Nicholas Moranino, Nicholas Philipson, Sarah Chilton and Lauren Wark selected to go on to play in Brisbane later this year. Well done to you all on these excellent results!

Duo represent at water polo state championships

Congratulations to our senior students Tiana Bell and Jai Dennison who represented our school at the Northern Region at the State Championships for water polo on the Sunshine Coast last weekend.

Tiana said a highlight from the event was the team bonding with the Northern Girls team and finishing second in their plate division and sixth overall.

"I learnt a lot more and my skills and understanding improved further from watching and playing games," she said.

"It was an amazing finish coming second and as each game went by the six months of training really showed and paid off. I have also grown a love for this sport and would like to proceed with it as I get older and move out of high school."

Strong representation at state Volleyball champs

Congratulations to our students Donovan Pettiford, Chris Townsend, Lillian Kelly, Dash Turner, and Elin Zimmerli who represented our school with the U16-19yrs Northern Region Volleyball at the State Championships in Brisbane last weekend.
