Redbacks win 4 flags<br />

The Redbacks won 11 and lost 6 finals in a tough Finals round. OC won 4<br />

premierships with another flag up for grabs yesterday at St. Paul‟s (1sts Volleyball).<br />

The Redbacks lost 4 Grand Finals.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

OC Tennis finished the season on a high with 3 wins and no losses. The<br />

Firsts won a cliff hanger.<br />

OC Volleyball won 3 flags, none more satisfying than the Year 8s,the only<br />

team to pinch a premiership from 2 nd spot<br />

OC Basketball could not convert a great season into silverware with both the<br />

8s and 9s unable to topple JPC. The Year 8 match was the most exciting<br />

Grand Final of the round and went down to the wire<br />

The Year 9 cricketers won a flag and the First XI consolidated third spot on<br />

the ladder with a comfortable win over WMAC.<br />

Congratulations to our Premier teams:<br />

Year 8 Volleyball coached by Shaun Griggs<br />

Year 9 Volleyball coached by Lauren Noble and managed by Ingrid Pride<br />

2nds Volleyball coached by Ashley Noble and managed by Peter Hoens<br />

Year 9 Cricket coached by Eli Gilfedder<br />

<strong>Ormiston</strong> <strong>College</strong> Sails to Victory<br />

Victorious in five out of five races again last weekend, our team finished <strong>Term</strong> one as School Team-<br />

Racing Division Champions.<br />

The best team-racing competitors combine boat speed with a thorough knowledge of the rules, to<br />

manoeuver their boats through a series of “white-knuckle” race situations. The skipper must have<br />

the ability to quickly analyse situations on the water and react to them. With so much happening at<br />

once, skippers and crew must have a heightened awareness of what is going on around them and<br />

be able to react to it instantly.<br />

The skippers race not only their own sailboat, but in team-racing they must be aware of and<br />

coordinate the other two boats in the team. This not only requires great boat-handling skills and<br />

crew coordination but an ability to predict opponent‟s moves.<br />

The best teams combine these qualities with a „sixth sense‟ bred from familiarity between the crew<br />

members; an attribute which delineates the greatest of competitors. Not surprisingly, the principle<br />

idea behind team racing is that individual success is subservient to the performance of the team as a<br />

whole. Rather than counting boat scores, the aggregate score of the team is counted; with the team<br />

with the lowest score winning the competition.<br />

So with the conclusion of the <strong>Term</strong> One Team-Racing competition, it is with enormous pride that we<br />

acknowledge our skippers and crews in <strong>Ormiston</strong> Sailing. Congratulations <strong>Ormiston</strong>, you have<br />

sailed and raced with conviction and determination equal to the best observed in all divisions of<br />

racing.OC Sailing‟s next challenge will be the Queensland State Championships held during the<br />

school holidays.<br />

Firsts Basketball<br />

First Basketball saw a very good win against WMAC<br />

defeating the opposition by 11 points. Impressive<br />

achievements of the day came from Chane who<br />

constantly put <strong>10</strong>0% into her efforts. Other positive<br />

points of the game came from Emily Holzberger who<br />

played the whole game with intensity. All girls should<br />

be rewarded with their efforts which won the game. I<br />

am so proud of each and every one of you for turning<br />

up with your game faces on and having a positive<br />

attitude constantly.<br />

Tyeka Close (Captain)<br />

Seconds Basketball<br />

Our final game for the season was a match against<br />

CHAC playing off for third position. The game was<br />

always going to be a close encounter as the girls only<br />

defeated CHAC by one point in the first round.<br />

<strong>Ormiston</strong> scored the first two points from the tap,<br />

followed by another couple of quick baskets.<br />

Unfortunately Katie was carried from the court with an<br />

ankle injury which concerned the whole team.<br />

Focusing back on the game the girls continued to ease<br />

ahead of CHAC giving them confidence to relax and<br />

play their style of game. Though they were very aware<br />

CHAC wouldn‟t be giving up easily and they had to<br />

fight for every rebound and loose ball. By half time<br />

<strong>Ormiston</strong> had a comfortable lead, however CHAC came<br />

within six points at the end of the third quarter giving<br />

the girls a scare. In the final quarter the girls played<br />

their best basketball for the season, with Bec scoring<br />

from the play of the day, followed by Jamie‟s awesome<br />

drive and a skilful step around 3 players by Jessie to<br />

finish the game running out winners 31–17 points.<br />

Judy Zemek (Coach)<br />

Year 8 Basketball<br />

Our final game and we gave it everything! JPC had a<br />

good start but as for the game they were not really the<br />

better team on the day, we were just inaccurate when it<br />

came to sinking the baskets. OC were up with only a<br />

few minutes left in the final quarter but this was not<br />

going to be our year. The final score was only 3 points<br />

difference being 36 to 33 which put us into a close<br />

s e c o n d p l a c e f o r t h e s e a s o n .<br />

On behalf of the team I would like to say a special<br />

thank you to Trish our Coach, she was fantastic we<br />

learnt so much from her and after only a few games<br />

she changed us from <strong>10</strong> girls to a team.<br />

To the team I would like to also say thanks as we have<br />

all played well over the term and we should feel proud<br />

with the result.<br />

Seconds Volleyball<br />

Last Saturday, the 2nds Volleyball boys pulled<br />

together for their last game. An all-round solid effort<br />

from everyone proved to be too much for the CHAC<br />

side to handle, with the <strong>Ormiston</strong> boys winning 3-0.<br />

Great mention must go to the CHAC boys for<br />

providing a fun and at times challenging game. The<br />

game started off well for <strong>Ormiston</strong> with a narrow<br />

victory in the first set that could have gone either<br />

way, the second set was much the same, but with<br />

CHAC upping their game. The third set could not of<br />

come soon enough as the boys were hard pressed to<br />

keep up performance. Again CHAC stepped up their<br />

game, but <strong>Ormiston</strong>‟s response was resounding with<br />

many big hits from our German import Tom and<br />

great defensive plays from all. Overall the season has<br />

been great with only the single final round loss, many<br />

thanks to our coach, Mr Ashley Noble, and our<br />

manager, Mr Peter Hoens.<br />

Year <strong>10</strong> Volleyball<br />

Year <strong>10</strong> Volleyball Boys played the Grand Final<br />

against Cannon Hill Anglican <strong>College</strong> at home. As we<br />

arrived to the game, we were looking to become<br />

undefeated Premiers. In the first set we looked like<br />

were going to go close, but sadly we let the final<br />

points slip away. In the second set we were<br />

determined to win the set. Sadly, though, we could<br />

not contain CHAC and in the early stages we let them<br />

gain a hefty lead on us. Although we managed to<br />

claw back a few points, they were the better team on<br />

the day and took out the premiership.<br />

Jack Frampton (Captain)<br />

Year 8 Volleyball<br />

After losing to CHAC in the first round of the season<br />

we were determined to beat them this time round‟.<br />

All the boys showed up early and were ready to go.<br />

We started the 1 st set off well only losing a few points<br />

before we started to get going. After some great<br />

serves from Mitchell Masaryk we found ourselves up<br />

by 6 with only 5 points left in the set. CHAC started to<br />

get on a roll but eventually we took out the first set 25<br />

-20. In the second set we fell asleep for the first few<br />

points but then from a massive serving streak from<br />

Byron Perry we were up 22-8. A few minutes later we<br />

had won the second by 16 points. Good work to all<br />

the boys for playing great all season and winning the<br />

premiership and hopefully we can do it again next<br />

year<br />

Firsts Cricket v WMAC<br />

Last <strong>Week</strong>end was the final round for the Firsts; it was<br />

a play off for third place against WMAC. Previously in<br />

the season we had faced and comfortably beaten them,<br />

however, it was a new game and the boys knew that<br />

WMAC would not be walk over. Losing the toss and<br />

being sent in, OC was on the back foot from the start<br />

losing wickets early and consistently throughout the<br />

innings. In the end we were dismissed for 1<strong>10</strong>, with<br />

Justin Ormandy again being the rock of the innings<br />

scoring his second half century of the season. Being<br />

forced to bowl before Lunch, saw an opportunity to<br />

take early wickets; this was done having the visitors 2<br />

down by lunch. Immediately after lunch OC were on<br />

the attack taking 4 wickets, having the WMAC team on<br />

the ropes at 5/12. After that it wasn‟t long until the<br />

whole team were dismissed for 56, leaving OC the<br />

victors by 54 runs, claiming 3 rd position.<br />

Mitch Pratt (Captain)<br />

Seconds Cricket<br />

The 2nds team played Canterbury <strong>College</strong> for 4 th and<br />

3 rd position. The boys took to the field down a few<br />

players due to injury but were able to recruit Jackson<br />

Leach and jack Morton to have a team of <strong>10</strong>. We won<br />

the toss and chose to bat first, the boys managed to<br />

put a very defendable score of 112. Then when<br />

Canterbury came into bat they were off to a flying start<br />

scoring 70 in the first 7 overs. They managed to chase<br />

down our target with 4 wickets in hand. Although we<br />

placed 4 th the boys had a great season as a week<br />

before the season there was no 2nds team and a big<br />

thanks goes to Mr Molyneux and Jack Porter<br />

MVP: Glen Morton<br />

Brayden Gurney (Captain)<br />

Year 8 Cricket<br />

The Year 8 team played a nail-biting final against St<br />

Paul‟s. We headed out with high hopes and knew we<br />

were in for a tough match. When we arrived, we saw<br />

the grounds were soaked and the outfield was very<br />

muddy. The pitch was also on a massive slant and we<br />

couldn‟t believe we were going to be playing the final<br />

on this field. We ventured on regardless and we lost<br />

the toss, with St Paul‟s electing to field first. Our<br />

opening batsmen headed out and from the start we<br />

could tell they were a bit nervous as they were facing a<br />

bowler with blistering pace for our age. The first wicket<br />

dropped quite early and we knew this wasn‟t a good<br />

start. Some good mid order hitting from Henry, and<br />

two massive sixes from Trent helped us along but all in<br />

all it wasn‟t a very good batting performance. We were<br />

all out for 98 runs. We headed out to field knowing<br />

that we would have to perform at our best. We did just<br />

that and their opening batsmen just weren‟t getting the<br />

runs required. We soon got them out and we were in a<br />

good position, when a student stepped up to the<br />

crease. We knew we would have to get him out early.<br />

We set our field deep and hoped for the best but it<br />

wasn‟t enough and he was soon hitting fours and sixes<br />

all over the park. They picked up the run rate and<br />

quickly got our total with a few wickets too spare.<br />

Overall, it was a good season .<br />

Over the weekend, the first girls were pumped and<br />

ready to take on Canterbury <strong>College</strong> for third position.<br />

The day started slowly for the girls, whereby we had<br />

a mixed bag of results. While Sam Penney and myself<br />

had a great doubles game we were unfortunate to go<br />

down narrowly to the opposition. Sam Lee played<br />

the number four singles and had a fantastic win, as<br />

well as Gemma's singles and her and Gabby's<br />

fantastic doubles win. However the standout of the<br />

day was undoubtedly Gabby's singles, whereby she<br />

fought back hard to win the match 6-4. This match<br />

was incredibly important as it was the last game of<br />

the day and the result depended on a win. Gabby<br />

dealt with the pressures of the game, which gave us<br />

the overall score of 3 sets all, 28 games to<br />

Canterbury's 26. So well done girls although the<br />

season has been unlucky at stages, all fought hard to<br />

get where we were on the ladder. Thank you to<br />

everyone who came and supported us this season, all<br />

of the parents, coaches Sean and Sam, and of course<br />

Mrs Glasson for her hard work and dedication to the<br />

teams this season. Most of all thank you to my<br />

wonderful team, it has been such a pleasure to be<br />

your captain and you are a team I am so very proud<br />

of. Goodluck for next year Gem and Gabs.<br />

Despite losing our chance at winning the<br />

premiership, the girls should be extremely proud of<br />

their victory in their last match against St<br />

Columban‟s, gaining them a spot in 3 rd place. We<br />

won all sets and finished with a score of 36-13. This<br />

shows a vast improvement from weeks before where<br />

we had only won with a tight score of 28-25. Isabel<br />

and Ellen played one of their best doubles match and<br />

came out with a victory of 6-2. As usual, Carly and<br />

Olivia put in their best effort on the court, also<br />

winning their doubles match 6-2. Despite windy<br />

conditions, the girls also managed to win their<br />

singles matches. Ellen had some great rallies in her<br />

match, winning a close match of 6-4. Also, despite<br />

being sick, Carly still played with determination, and<br />

won her singles match 6-3. The whole team should<br />

be commended on their hard work and persistence<br />

this season. Every year we are getting closer and<br />

closer to the premiership, so hopefully next year it<br />

will finally be ours.<br />

aiming to do well for themselves and their House. While a few students were recognised with medallions for<br />

placing first, second and third, all students who competed to the best of their ability should be very proud of their<br />

effort. Congratulations to the age champions and winning Houses, listed below:<br />

JTAS Swimming Carnival<br />

JTAS Swimming was held on the 20th March at the Sleeman Sports and Aquatic Centre. Forty-six students<br />

headed to the Aquatic Centre for a big day of racing and everyone was excited to compete for <strong>Ormiston</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

The event order of the day was butterfly, breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke, finishing with relays. Before<br />

competition began we were faced with some reshuffling of the team to account for illness and injury. It was terrific<br />

to see our reserves so willing and able to step up to the challenge presented to them. Two fine examples were<br />

Sarah Hesse and little Abby Vester swimming the 50m butterfly – one of the harder events. Throughout the day<br />

many OC swimmers swam personal best times and everyone represented the <strong>College</strong> in an excellent manner. At<br />

the mid-way point of the carnival, OC was a few points shy of St Peter‟s Lutheran <strong>College</strong>. With the backstroke and<br />

relay events to come it was going to be a mighty task to defeat St Peter‟s. At the end of the carnival, OC finished<br />

second overall to St Peter‟s by 9.5 points. Our 12 and 13 years girls place first for their age group and the OC girls<br />

placed second overall for their age group. The OC boys also placed a respectable third.<br />

A total of <strong>10</strong> records were broken by OC swimmers, including:<br />

Michaela Ryan – 50m breaststroke, 50m butterfly, 50m backstroke<br />

Teneka Ash – 50m butterfly, 50m div 2 freestyle, 50m backstroke even though Teneka placed 2 nd<br />

Lance Ash - 50m backstroke<br />

Under 12-13 girls 4x50m freestyle relay<br />

Open girls 4x50m medley relay<br />

Under <strong>10</strong> girls 4x50m freestyle relay<br />
