ACC Athletics Champions

Our athletics team rose to new heights last Friday’s ACC Athletics Carnival with a commanding display leading to plenty of silverware at the WA Athletics Stadium. After an early three-way tussle with St Norbert and Seton Colleges, our athletes slowly but steadily edged their way to a strong position through some strong 200m and 400m events with some terrific efforts in the field. A few anxious relay moments mattered little as the comfortable lead was consolidated with some steady performances to close out the program, and confirm our second carnival win in three years. Amongst a very strong team performance, our standout performance of the day came from Year 9 student Dante Armstrong when he broke the ACC record for the U/15 1500m. His time of 4:16.49 shaved four seconds off the previous best, and is a remarkable achievement given that the association began in 1937. Dante’s record came off the back of an 800m/1500m double and caps a great year for him after taking out the ACC Cross Country title in May. We congratulate the following students who achieved the following placing in their respective age categories: Cara Dziegielewski Age Champion U/14 Girls Mia Conroy Age Champion U/16 Girls Loghan Moir Age Champion U/16 Boys Jeremiah Kori Third Place U/13 Boys Declan Morrison Third Place U/16 Boys Anthony Galea Third Place Open Boys The most pleasing feature of our performance was the disciplined effort of our entire team. Whilst we do have some very talented athletes who were a big part of our win, it was the attention to detail of all team members in ensuring that we had no disqualifications across the day to provide us with the platform for the result. Our team was enthusiastic, gave their best effort across the day, and really earned this great result. We progress to B division next year, a first for our College, and we should be confident of being able to produce another strong showing. Many thanks to our amazing staff in Ms Harvey, Ms Billam, Ms Ratajczak, Mr Carbone, Mr Bright and Mr Lund who gave up plenty of afternoons to help prepare our athletes. Thanks also to our parents for their support on the day – your support is always greatly appreciated. Mr Ben Dyer Head of Sports

ELYSIAN Lunch On Friday, 17th September, the dance students attended an Elysian lunch where they had the opportunity to relax, enjoy some food and re-watch some of their performances. This was a great opportunity for the students to reflect on their performances and discuss the memorable moments from the event. To conclude the lunch, the Year 11 Dance ATAR students presented the Year 12 ATAR students with a final farewell. Aleisha Carpene and Mandie Lombard generously gifted their fellow students’ flowers, chocolate and a personalised embroidered towel. It was great to have the dance students come together again to reflect on the unforgettable evening and it was heart warming to watch the two Year 11 students say their farewells to the Year 12 Dance ATAR students. We wish all the Year 12 Students well for their future endeavors and look forward to the remainder of Dance for 2021. Miss Jessica McGaw Dance Teacher
