Rose Stead, Ava Orr, Samuel Abot, Emily Carrigan, and Liam McHugh showcased remarkable performances at the State Athletics Carnival last week. Rose secured the 10th position in the state for the 800m race with a personal best time of 2.36 and placed 11th overall for the 1500m with another personal best of 5.16. Liam achieved 24th place in the state for discus with a throw of 20.55m. Samuel finished 23rd for the 100m race with a time of 14.37 and took 8th place for the 200m with a time of 29.22.

Emily achieved first place in both Shot Put and Discus, throwing a personal best of 11.27m in shot put and an impressive 35.48m in discus. The entire school community is immensely proud of these outstanding achievements.

SWQ Touch
On Sunday, October 15th, 13 students from Year Five and Six participated in the SWQ All Schools Touch Carnival held in Dalby. The team, a mix of 6 boys and 7 girls, had been diligently attending training sessions since Term Three under my guidance. Throughout the tournament, the students engaged in exciting matches of Touch Football against schools from the region. As the games progressed, the team demonstrated exceptional teamwork, resulting in highly competitive matches. They managed to secure victories in five games and a draw in one, ultimately tying for first place in their pool. Despite their remarkable performance, the team didn't make it to the grand final due to the other team's for-and-against. Nevertheless, I couldn't have been prouder of the players for their sportsmanship, game play, and how they represented the school on that day. Members of the team were Grayson Nissen, Mahaylie Weribone, Levi Holden, Phoebe Neenan, Joe Black, Lucy Hardy, Liam McHugh, Lily Brookman, Parker Bohm, Aya Doherty, Sia Luck, Amelia Ellis and Isaac Ragh. Joe Black was voted player of the carnival by his team (picture attached).
SWQ Futsal
St Saviours College participated in a school futsal competition organized by SWQ Futsal in April 2023. Following this event, standout players were chosen to represent at the 2023 National School Championships held in September 2023. Among the selected players, Mia Aylward seized the opportunity and represented her school at Nissan Arena. Mia's team demonstrated their skills, making it to the grand final and achieving a remarkable 2nd place. As an added achievement, Mia was offered a position in the U11 Australian squad in Fiji, a fantastic recognition of her talent and dedication in the sport. (Photo attached)
Friday night basketball
Friday night basketball has resumed this term, with St Saviour’s Primary entering two teams—a boys' team and a girls' team, featuring students from Year Five and Six. Both teams have enjoyed a strong start to the competition, engaging in competitive basketball matches. The school extends its gratitude to Mrs. Conway for her coaching efforts, recognizing the vital role coaches play in the development and success of young athletes. It's heartening to see students actively participating in sports and proudly representing their school in these basketball games. Best wishes to both teams in their upcoming matches.
