Congratulations to all students who attended the QLD All Schools Carnival at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast. Thanks to Leah McDuff, Kaysey Wilkins, and Zac Storey for coaching our teams, along with Brenton McMillian and Jack Gibson who refereed on behalf of the College, along with Mr Storey. The highlight of the carnival was the performance of the U15 Boys Team who made it through to the Final 16 for the first time since 2020. All bar one of the boys will be eligible to play U15’s again in 2025 which is a promising sign for the College.
