Hockey 

Shalom had quite the number of students compete at both the girls and boys U14 State Hockey Championships during the school holidays.

The Girls were part of the Bundaberg U14 rep hockey team that competed in the State Championships in Toowoomba.  This team finished 4^th in the State!

Shalom super star, Sophie A, was awarded the "Player of the Tournament".  This is a significant achievement for the goal scoring machine.  Sophie also gained selection in the U/14 QLD Embers Hockey Team.

The Boys were members of the Bundaberg U14 rep hockey team that competed in the State Championships in Rockhampton.  This team only lost one game the whole championships, and this was in the Grand Final against Brisbane.  Not bad for a very young team from the country competing against top age teams.

Levi K gained selection in the U/14 QLD Sabres Hockey Team and Hamish C was named as a QLD Shadow player.

Congratulations to all players involved!!!

Walking

Koby I represented Shalom at the 2025 Queensland All Schools Road Walking Championships in Brisbane. He secured a bronze medal in the U16 Men’s 5,000m race walk with an impressive personal best time of 26:09—a huge improvement of 2 minutes and 4 seconds from his race just a few weeks ago in Canberra!

This championship also doubled as the Queensland Athletics State Road Racing Championships, where Koby once again claimed bronze in the U16 Men’s 5,000m race walk.

Congratulations, Koby, on your incredible effort, determination, and outstanding results!

Murri Touch Football Tournament

Congratulations to Shalom students Kobey W, Preston J, Seb K, Indi B and Destiny S who competed for Shalom and were awesome! Shalom were red hot favourites, going unbeaten throughout the tournament, but were unfortunately pipped at the post by 1 point in the Grand Final. The students were so respectful to all and encouraging all the other participants. Coach Stranieri was extremely proud of their achievement! This style of Touch Football was new to the students, so it was trial by fire from the first match, but Shalom took it in their stride and smashed it!

Kristi A from Shalom also participated in the tournament and was part of the winning team for PCYC Maroon team.

Kobey also took out the Male sprint race by a couple meters and won himself some prizes from various local establishments.
