Congratulations Havana

A huge congratulations to Havana Torrisi on her outstanding achievement in being selected for the 10–12 Years Darling Downs Girls Football team! Havana’s hard work, skill, and determination have earned her a place among the region’s best young players.

She will now go on to represent Darling Downs at the State Championships in Tingalpa, taking place from 31 July to 3 August. We’re incredibly proud of Havana and can’t wait to cheer her on as she takes the field at the state level!

We also want to acknowledge and congratulate all the students who attended the trials. Your commitment, sportsmanship, and courage to compete at this level are truly inspiring. Every one of you represented our school with pride and passion.

Well done to all involved—your efforts do not go unnoticed! 

Vicki Wilson Netball 

On 30 May, a number of our talented students represented St Joseph’s School at the Vicki Wilson Netball Carnival in Toowoomba—an exciting opportunity to compete against schools from across the Darling Downs and South West region.

St Joseph’s proudly entered two teams:

• The Senior Vicki Wilson Team, featuring our QISSN representatives
• The Junior Vicki Wilson Team, made up of players from Years 7 to 9

Both teams demonstrated outstanding teamwork, determination, and school spirit throughout the day. The Junior team finished a commendable 5th overall in Pool A, holding their own against some very tough competition. Meanwhile, the Senior team placed 4th in their pool and finished strong, winning all three of their re-grading matches.

A huge congratulations to all players and coaches involved !

Broncos Cup

Netball 

Our students proudly represented the school in Warwick for the second round of the Broncos Cup, showcasing incredible skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship across all netball teams:

• A Team: Reached the final and played a strong match against Assumption College, finishing as runners-up.
• B Team: Also made it to the final, putting up a great effort against Stanthorpe State High and securing second place overall.
• C Team: Demonstrated great determination and teamwork, finishing third overall. A special congratulations to Zoe Dennis, who was awarded Player of the Match in the C Team’s final game!

A highlight of the day was the opportunity for our students to meet members of the Broncos organisation. The group photo taken at the event features our students alongside Scott Prince, former Broncos player, and a current player from the Broncos Women’s team—a truly memorable moment for all involved!

Well done to all players and coaches for your dedication and effort.

Rugby

The second round of the Broncos Cup Rugby League proved to be a true test of resilience and determination for our boys.

• A Grade: Faced a challenging day, battling through fatigue and reduced numbers. In their third game, the team was down to just 11 players but dug deep to secure a hard-earned victory against Stanthorpe State High. A standout moment came in their final match—a spirited 9-a-side game against Inglewood/Texas. The game was a great display of sportsmanship and mateship, with both teams having supported each other back in Round 1.

• B Grade (Years 7/8): Entered the day with focus and fire, notching up three strong wins to earn a place in the 1 v 2 final against Assumption College, Warwick. The final was intense, with both teams giving their all. Unfortunately, the match was called off due to a series of injuries. Assumption were ahead 2 tries to 1 at the time, but our boys walked away with heads held high and eyes already set on redemption in 2026.

Well done to all players and coaching staff for their grit, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day!

SEQ Football Competition

Monday 9 June saw a number of our enthusiastic students proudly represent the school at the SEQ Primary Darling Downs Football (Soccer) Carnival. This round-robin style competition brought together schools from across the Darling Downs region for a day filled with spirited matches, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Held at the Highfields Sport and Recreation Park, the carnival provided a fantastic opportunity for our students to challenge themselves, grow their skills, and enjoy the excitement of interschool competition.

Our Year 6 team celebrated a well-earned win and gained valuable experience from their three closely contested matches. The Year 5 team showed great determination and teamwork throughout their three games, learning important lessons and building confidence with each match.

We are incredibly proud of all students for their positive attitudes, resilience, and the way they represented our school. We look forward to seeing their continued growth in future sporting events.
