Hockey
Congratulations to Shalom students Courtney K and Sophie A who recently represented the QLD U14 Embers Hockey team that competed at the National Championships in Perth.
The QLD team had a fantastic tournament, advancing through the pool games undefeated.
Both Courtney and Sophie received MVP awards during the tournament and both girls were in the top ten goal scorers with Sophie (7 goals) in 3rd and Courtney (4 goals) in 10th.
QLD Embers took on NSW in the Final. At full time the game was tied up and it went to shootouts. Both Courtney and Sophie converted their shots and at the end of the compulsory 5 shootouts, the game was still tied up. Off to sudden death!! Unfortunately, NSW converted and QLD missed. Both Courtney and Sophie finished with a National Silver Medal!!
Sophie was the recipient of the Coaches Encouragement Award for the QLD team and on the back of her strong tournament, Courtney was added to the QLD U16 squad. The QLD U16 squad members will attend trials in February 2025.
In the short term, Sophie and Courtney switch their focus to Indoor Hockey. Both girls will represent Bundy at the upcoming Indoor Championships with the hope of gaining Qld selection. Good luck girls!!
Rowing - Come and Try
After a very successful season, we are excited to invite interested students to try our oarsome sport. Rowing is a whole-body sport that is described as the ‘ultimate’ team sport. It builds so many important life skills like communication, teamwork, confidence, as well.
A common theme we hear from rowers is they wish they tried it earlier in their schooling. So come along too one or all, of our sessions. All sessions will have our current rowers supporting the new rowers while being supervised by our experienced coaches.
We have sessions for our current Shalom students in Week 6 & then in Week 7 we have sessions for any interested Year 6 students coming to Shalom next year. Please register via the links above or flyers below.
In addition, we have a Rowing Day in the last week of school on Wednesday 4 December for Shalom students. This is essentially a big come and try day. We take out all our big boats and bus any interested students out to Bucca and have a couple of fun sessions on the water. Signs up will be at school in the coming weeks.
Any questions, let us know.
Keep being oarsome.
