South West Rugby 7's Competition

Last week Assumption College took part in the first round of the South West Rugby 7’s Competition. Assumption College entered an u15 Boys team this year who are being coached by two of our experienced Senior Leaders, Harry Hume and Abby Hammond.

In the first round last week, the team started the campaign with a loss against Mary Mackillop College 20-15. After this first match which happened to be all of our players’ first time playing Rugby 7’s, the team bounced back and picked up the skills quite quickly. They managed to defeat Toowoomba Anglican School 20-15.

Coaches Harry and Abby were very proud of the team. The team will play Toowoomba Grammar and Downlands in Round 2. We wish them luck.

Queensland State Track and Field Championships 

From Tuesday 8 October to Monday 14 October 2024, nine of our Assumption College students attended both the 10-12 years and 13-19 years Queensland Track and Field State Championships. These students represented the College and the whole Darling Downs region with pride and have shown immense talent. All students displayed 100% effort in each event and endured many character defining moments throughout the course of the week.

At the College we strive to infix a sense of determination and grit in our students and these athletes have shown exactly what it is like to be an Assumption College student.

Congratulations to all our athletes on their outstanding performances: Patrick Kajewski, Lucy Spiller, Jack Burton, Matilda Doyle, Logan Hallman, Riley Wainwright, Hayley Wainwright and Mary Santo.

A special congratulations to Harry Hume who competed in the 16 years boy shot put and was awarded with the silver medal.

Good Luck to Hayley, Riley, Harry and Logan who will be competing at the All Schools State athletics Championships at QSAC!
