Sporting News ° Autumn Term 2001

 

Student participation in sports this term has been excellent not only at Inter-House competitions but also at Inter-School events.  70 students have represented the school in various sporting competitions over the Autumn term.  Deserving a special mention are the following:

bulletBranden Stobbs and Alexandra Barrett who came 4th and 6th respectively in the SGIS Cross Country.
bulletThe Junior Boys' and Junior Girls' Football teams who both came 4th at the ADISR and SGIS championships respectively.
bulletThe Senior Girls' Volleyball team who came 4th at the SGIS championships.
bulletThe Senior Girls' Basketball team who came 3rd at the SGIS championships.
bulletThe Junior Girls' Basketball team who won bronze medals at the SGIS championships.
bulletThe Intermediate Girls' Basketball team who won silver medals at the ADISR championships.

Well done to all those students who have shown a first rate commitment to team training sessions and who have given up their free time to represent the school.  A special thank you goes to Surraya Johnson for her outstanding contribution to basketball.  As captain of the junior team for the past 2 years she has led by example and has been an inspiration to her team not only as a player but also as a motivator.  The team would also like to say a personal thank you to Surraya's mum who has coached and supported them from time to time.  Her expression "aim for the sweet spot" will always stay with them!

You may be interested to hear that St. George's girls also won a "Fair Play" award at a football tournament recently.  This is not the first time that the Georgentian sense of fair play has been noted. Coaches from other schools are never slow to comment on your politeness and general good behaviour at Inter-School fixtures.  It is always a pleasure to take teams away to tournaments - you are a credit, both to yourselves and to the school.
