“I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.” – Billie Jean King
Welcome back to what we can only hope is a sport-filled year. I look forward to working alongside our students and encouraging participation throughout the year at various events.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Julie Collins for her hard work and tireless efforts over the past few years. Her energy and can-do attitude has set a great example, and I look forward to working with Julie this year.
Swimming
First up on our sporting agenda for the year – the much-anticipated swimming carnival. This year we see the inclusion of events to encourage all students to participate. Which house will champion? Which house will take out the Lee Gunderman House Spirit trophy? Please note, attendance is expected and those who are absent are required to produce a written note upon their return to school.
This year, morning training sessions will be offered to those interested. Training will take place on the 29thJanuary and the 2nd and 4th February. Times to be advised.
Border District Summer Trials
Summer Trials will take place in Goondiwindi on the 2nd February. These trials are for participants interested in trialling for Cricket, Tennis and Touch Football.
Netball
The Warwick Netball season will begin early this term and games will run each Monday night. Dates and times to be advised. This year we see the inclusion of a number of Assumption teams. We wish you all the very best ladies.
Touch Football
The Warwick Touch Football sign-on night will take place on the 3rd February. This year, we are hoping to establish a number of mixed College teams.
Confraternity & QISSN
The ACW Confraternity and QISSN teams will recommence training at WIRAC on their return to school. Our students appreciate all those who have made this possible.
Further information on the above sporting events and team registrations will be provided at our first assembly for the year. Students are reminded to listen during morning notices to avoid missing out. I encourage all interested students to see me to find out more information, register interest and collect the necessary permission notes and registration forms. Please note, dates are subject to change, and these changes will be communicated as soon as possible.
I wish our students a successful year on the sporting field.
