Individual Sporting Achievements

Halle  and Evie (Year 5) have had a busy few weeks of representative sport! A particular highlight being that over the school holidays, both girls competed in the Junior State Cup for Brothers Touch in Rockhampton. While their team didn’t make the finals, Evie was awarded Player’s Player and Halle was named MVP at the presentation night. In addition both girls have been selected to play in the National Youth Championships in Coffs Harbour on 1-4 October. These are  great achievements and we wish the girls well at the championships.

Congratulations to Lara (Year 6) on an outstanding gymnastics performance at the recent Border Challenge. This prestigious national-level event features the top 50 Level 7 athletes from across Australia. Despite returning from a 35-day overseas holiday just before the competition, Lara showed incredible resilience and determination, placing 4th All-Around and 4th on bars. Her team also achieved an impressive 2nd place overall. An amazing achievement and a true testament to her dedication and talent – well done, Lara!

A huge congratulations to Katherine  (Year 5) on her outstanding results at the Queensland School Sport State Championships! She placed 3rd in her age group in an incredibly close race, finishing just three seconds behind first place. To top it off, she was also part of the relay team made up of the top five runners from each region — and they came 1st! Running the final leg, she showed incredible determination and speed, overtaking the leading runner from Met East right before the finish line. What an exceptional performance across both days – well done!

City District Track and Field Carnival

Congratulations to all students who represented Ascot at the City District Track and Field Carnival last week! Even with a smaller team this year, our students competed with great determination and team spirit, resulting in an outstanding achievement — winning the Overall Percentage Trophy and placing 3rd overall. A big thank you to the staff who helped with running events on the carnival days and to the parents for their ongoing encouragement and support. We now look forward to seeing how our selected students perform at the Met North Carnival in August. Well done, Team Ascot!

There were many fine performances across the 2 days of competition and we were very proud of their attitude and efforts. Congratulations to all but we acknowledge below those students who have made it through to the regional carnival based on their results in the following events:

In addition, quite a few of our 9 year olds (who don’t progress to regional competition yet), also performed extremely well, which augers well for future athletic competitions. Noteworthy performances include:

Angelica  (long jump 2^nd, shot put 6^th), Lulu  (800m/200m -2^nd), Sofia  (800m 1^st), Bernie  (800m 1^st), Savannah  (800m 4^th) and Achilles  (long jump 6^th). Congratulations to these students and we hope they enjoyed their first experience at district level competition.
