Diocesan Open Football Championships

In Week 1, our Open Boys and Girls Football teams travelled to Kempsey to play in the Southern Diocese Football Championships. The day was very hot and tiring with both teams performing well despite little rest breaks and rigorous play. Our female team finished 2nd overall, only losing one game. Our boys came away with the win on a count back and now move onto the North/South final to be played on Tuesday 4th May at Cex Stadium. We thank all the staff involved, Mrs Istrate, Mrs Slaviero, Mr Coster and Mr Abbots and wish our boys team the best of luck on Tuesday.

CCC Swimming Championships

8 of our students ventured to Sydney towards the end of last term to represent the Lismore Diocese at Swimming. All students were exceptional in both behaviour and performance. A number of Personal Best’s (PB) were achieved as well as some very close finishes nearly putting a number of our students on the podium. Of particular note was Jaxon White (Year 7) who placed 2nd in 13 Boys Freestyle meaning he will go on to represent CCC at the NSW All Schools Championships this term.

Congratulations

• Alexandra Harrison (Year 12) competed at the Australian Athletics Championships in Sydney during the holidays in High Jump and Heptathlon. She placed 3rd in High Jump with a leap of 1.72m and did 4 PB’s in Hurdles, Shot Put, 200m and 800m events. Congratulations Alexandra!

• Lincoln Henry (Year 7) recently travelled to Sydney on the 28 March to compete in the NSW State Little Athletics Championships where he won a silver medal in the U13 boys Triple Jump with a PB of 10.98m. Lincoln also competed in the 100m, 80m Hurdles and was 5th overall in Long Jump. He also competed in the Australian Track and Field Championships where he came third in his U14 Boys 90m Hurdles heat. In the finals he was placed 5th after a photo finish. This is particularly noteworthy as he improved his PB time by a massive 73 secs in the heat and then again smashed his new PB in the final by another 13.67 secs! Awesome work Lincoln.
