Tennis

On Monday 26 May, Shalom College proudly competed in the QSSTT Teams Tennis Tournament held at the Rotary Park Tennis Centre. With five competitive teams representing the College, our students showcased outstanding skill, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day.

In a strong showing from the senior players, the Open Boys Team 1—comprised of Xander W, Edi R, Harry K, and Nic C - secured a runner-up finish in a closely contested competition. Not far behind, Open Boys Team 2—featuring Jake W, Chase S, George H, and George S - claimed a commendable third place.

George S and George H

Among the Year 7–9 Boys, Team 1 (Jack B, Jai P, Aaron C, and Gabe K) stood out with a remarkable performance, emerging victorious against a strong Discovery Christian College team. Their success earns them the honour of representing Wide Bay at the State QSSTT Teams Tournament in Rockhampton this September. Year 7–9 Boys Team 2 (Lachlan D, Tokoko W, Jack S, and Lorenzo M) also put in a solid performance, finishing fourth on the day.

Aaron C

The Year 7–9 Girls Team—Amelia W, Harmoni M, Kayla McM, and Kayla C - played with great tenacity, drawing with a talented St Luke’s side. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed out on victory following a countback on games.

Throughout the tournament, all Shalom players displayed tremendous spirit, camaraderie, and sportsmanship, making the College proud both on and off the court. Congratulations to all teams on a fantastic effort and best of luck to the Year 7–9 Boys Team 1 as they prepare for the State Tournament!

Rugby League

Congratulations to former Shalom student Tom M on his recent season with Wynnum Manly's Mal Meninga Cup team. Tom was listed in the "PLAYERS WE WOULD HAVE MOST LIKED TO HAVE SELECTED" in the Team of the Year media release;

"A Shalom College alumni from the Bundaberg region, the former Wide Bay Bulls representative tried his heart out all season for the Seagulls.

If he wasn’t Wynnum Manly’s best all year he was a close second or third, constantly asking questions and always reliable on the right edge.

Scored plenty, saved plenty and was strong as an ox with his carries."

Congratulations to Shalom student Slater A on his recent selection for the Emerging Socceroos Championship representing Queensland. This is a massive achievement being the only U16 to be selected for Squad from Bundaberg and 1 of 2 from the Wide Bay region.

This is the second occasion he’s been selected. Good luck Slater!!

Congratulations to our Boys Bill Turner Cup team that played in the Wide Bay final against FCAC in Hervey Bay last week.  The boys were down 1-0 for most of the second half of the game but scored a late equaliser to take the game into extra-time and eventually a penalty shootout.  Unfortunately going down in the end.  A tough result but the team played some great football.  The boys never gave up and fought hard.  Their sportsmanship and commitment were outstanding.  Thanks also to Shalom staff Mr Leggett and Mr Cunningham for looking after this side.

Cycling
