City District Track & Field Results

On Thursday 24th July & Friday 25th July, 50 of our talented athletes competed in the City District Track & Field at Bowden Park. Competing across track events including 100m, 200m, 800m, 1500m and 4x100m relays and in field events including high jump, long jump, shot put and discus, our students performed exceptionally well, and we ended up 4th in A school’s division and 6th in the overall percentage trophy. This is percentage based on performance and total points against the number of students across 4-6 in each school. Out of 33 schools within the district this is a brilliant result and a tremendous improvement on last year. Well done to each team member for their efforts, performances and playing their part in this result.

Queensland School Sport Touch Football

Edwina S of Year 6 last week headed off to Roma with her Met North 10-12 years Girls Touch Football team to compete at the Queensland School Sport Touch Football Championships.

Results…… 2025 10-12 Girls Qld School Sport Touch Championships (Roma, Qld)

On Day 1, Edwina and her MN team played three games. The day, whilst starting with a loss 9-0 to Capricornia region only trended upward. The MN girls played significantly better in their second match, a 4-2 loss to the Sunshine Coast before their final game was a 1-1 draw to Darling Downs in which Edwina was voted the players player award!

On Day 2, playing Met East in their first game, the girls went down 8-1 in a tough start to the day. Their second game against the Peninsula region saw the girls getting their first win of the tournament. A terrific team effort and 5-1 win. To cap off day 2, the girls continued their good form and improved again to defeat Wide Bay with the result in the end a 4-3 nailbiter.

On Day 3, another tough day with a win and two losses however they continued to improve and have fun. They scored two tries against South Coast - Met East are the only other team to do that.

Eddie got best and fairest from the other team in one of the games.

On day 4, Edwina and her MN team had a win and a loss on the final day. 

There was a shoot out for the teams who didn’t make the grand final which was fun.

Despite the results not going the teams way, Edwina, playing in the wing position for her MN team, played very well, defending extremely well and even getting a few tries over the line. Her efforts no doubt have given her valuable experience playing against the best touch footballers in all of Queensland and will no doubt have bettered many aspects of her game in the process. Well done, Edwina, this is the highest level of Touch Football in Qld School Sport, hold your head high, we’re all proud of you!

Southeast Queensland Football Championship Day

We wish our Senior Girls, and Mr. McMahon, all the very best at the upcoming Southeast Queensland Championships at Aspley SHS on Monday 1st September. The girls will play two round robin games, against the Met East and Darling Downs regional winners, in the attempt to make the final for the second year in a row.

Go girls go, we’re all very excited to hear how you perform!

Thank you
