Volleyball
Last Sunday the St Joseph's volleyball team played in the OzSpike Junior volleyball tournament at Lyneham. Competing against students from other primary schools across Canberra, the team showed wonderful team spirit and it was great to see them have the opportunity to put into practice what they have been learning in training at our lunchtime sessions during the term. It was also a thrill to have one of the athletes from the Australian Volleyball Academy coach the team on the day. With some wins under our belts we are looking forward to the beach volleyball tournament in Term 4.
Sporting Success
Over recent months, we have had a number of students perform at higher levels across different sporting persuits.
Conratulations to Felix P and Oliver L who represented ACT at the Cross Country Nationals in Adelaide in August. Both boys performed well individually and also within their team relay and time-trial events.
Felix also competed at the ACT Athletics Carnival yesterday at AIS, running the 400m, 800m and 1500m. Well done Felix!
Congratulations to Maggie M who represented ACT at the AFL National Championships in Adelaide in August. While carrying an injury during the competition, Maggie still gave her all!
And well done to Lachlan S who has been named in the U12 ACT Schools Cricket training squad, which will compete at the Championships in Victoria in November. Good luck Lachlan as you continue to train with the squad!
