Congratulations to Year 10 student, Elly Petrie on her recent success at the State Championships where she represented Darling Downs for Golf from the 19th - 25th May.
Elly played 4 days of golf at Palmer Coolum, and improved her score and shots everyday, learning a lot along the way.
Elly is to be commended as she finished in the top 10 nett in the State for 13-19 Years Girls.
Both teams represented the school with great sportsmanship and skill. The Seniors came 3rd in the Cup Devlopment division. It was our best result in many years, possibly ever.
Congratulations to Hannah and Georgia Petrie as they recently competed at the 10-12 Years State Basketball Championships in Townsville from 25-28 May.
Both girls competed extremely well coming up against the best players from across Queensland.
Their brother Thomas Petire also recently competed in the 16 Years State Basketball championships for Darling Downs in Toowoomba from the 18-21 May.
This was a great learning experience for Tom as a 13 year old coming up against the best 16 year olds from around the State.
After another fun two days of competition, the Broncos Cup came to a close for 2023 with the Finals day being held in Warwick on Wednesday 31 May.
A huge credit goes to the 60 players who represented our school with great pride, displaying great sportsmanship at all times. Thankyou also must also go to the parents for the early starts in getting the students to the bus for the early travel across the two days.
Lastly, a great deal of thanks goes to the teachers who willingly gave up their time to allow our students these opportunities.
For the record, St Joseph’s recorded their best results in the history of the competition. Results were:-
B Grade Rugby League – 5th place
A Grade Rugby League – 3rd place (William Kay Player of the Final)
C Grade Netball – 2nd place
