Redbacks Record Round 

The Redbacks created history last Saturday winning every game they 

played. Unfortunately the legendary Headmaster’s treat will not apply because ten 

matches were washed out. However it was a great morning for the mighty 

Redbacks who continue to impress so far this season. 

�� OC Basketball enjoyed their best round ever against St. Paul’s with four very 

comfortable wins and a cliffhanging victory to the Year 10s who had never 

beaten St. Paul’s. 

�� Another whitewash for OC Volleyball but the Firsts nearly blew a two set lead 

winning narrowly in the 5 th set.

Girls’ Basketball 

Ormiston College v St Paul’s School 

This round for girls’ basketball is always difficult. Over 

the past five years, St Paul’s have been able to get on 

top of OC generally 3 matches to 2 to win the round. 

Last year, OC was able to reverse this trend winning the 

round 3-2 for the first time ever. In 2012, we have gone 

one better. Inflicting a 5-0 win record last Saturday is 

the first time OC girls’ basketball has been able to 

achieve wins in all divisions. The win like this is built 

around having very strong and competitive Year 8 and 

9 teams. As the co-ordinator, I am very proud of the 

manner in which the coaching panel and the players 

work together to develop the game play, skills and 

more importantly attitude required to be competitive. 

Whilst achieving a milestone last weekend, OC has to 

bounce back once again this week by being more 

focused, more determined and more clinical in their 

game play and skill execution in order to beat St 

Columban’s at home. OC has not had the better of St 

Columban’s school in match results in 5 years. We have 

to go one better than last year’s result of a 3-2 loss. 

Ladder wise, this is a HUGE round! I know that OC will 

step up and be competitive. Good luck girls! 

Wayne Jarrett (Co-ordinator) 

Firsts Basketball 

Ormiston College v St Paul’s 

Firsts girls basketball won their first game against St 

Pauls coming away with a 41 to 19 win. For the first 

time this year all girls settled into their game quickly 

and didn’t let the opponents dictate how the game was 

to be played. OC were able to play to their strengths 

through quick transition, good passing, great team 

work and fantastic rebounding. Kayla Duckham played 

outstandingly in all areas of the game scoring 9 points. 

Together with Emily Holzberger, they dominated in the 

fourth quarter scoring all baskets but one. All players 

settled well into their roles and we are excited to see 

what happens in future games. 

Tyeka Close (Captain) 

Seconds Basketball 


Despite the humidity, the seconds played with 

everything they had and won 30 – 7 against St Pauls. 

From the jump, the girls put into practice what they 

had learnt the day before, winning the tap and just 

narrowly missing their first attempt at a basket. Sadly 

just minutes into the game Izzy injured her shoulder 

and was unable to play the remainder of the game. 

Even though we were a player down we still played a 

great game. Rachel Levi played her best defensive 

game and Kirsty Neale was placing herself perfectly 

beside the key for an easy layup and top scored with 9 

points. The girls are fired up for a close match against 

St Columban’s tomorrow, determined to keep their 

winning streak.

From the first sound of the buzzer to the last, OC 

fought their toughest game yet. We all knew, coming 

up against St Pauls would be a real challenge, so 

giving up was not an option. After being beaten by St 

Pauls in Years 8 and 9 (and for some since Year 6!), 

OC was determined to give everything they had to 

defeat St Pauls. Being more aware of our roles whilst 

on the court (more so than previous games), all 

members contributed to our success. It was great to 

see our least experienced players contribute with 

some amazing plays and shots. All of the hard work 

at training is beginning to pay off. It was a fight to the 

finish. With 2 minutes to go the match was tied at 22- 

22. OC was determined to restrict St Paul’s sharp 

shooter from scoring 3 points with St Paul’s trying to 

stop OC from scoring inside the zone. Olivia Wyle’s 

perseverance was rewarded when she converted a St 

Paul’s team foul at the free throw line. Leading 24-22 

with 50 seconds remaining, OC was determined to 

control the ball. After a few more ‘twists and turns’, 

OC gained possession and controlled the ball to the 

final siren. Top scorers were; Mikayla Price, 11 points; 

Sarah Wildner, 6 and Olivia Wyles, 6. It is our third 

win of the season and the effort reflected our 

determination to play for each other. A great team 

effort, girls!

on the buzzer, 

for the Year 10's to win by two points




The Year 9 basketball girls took to the court against St 

Paul’s, fired up and determined to crack the 100 mark 

again, despite the shortened game time. We fell short 

of our goal with the final score being 81–6 in our 

favour. We have had a fantastic start to the season of 

2012 but are well aware of the tough competition that 

awaits us in the coming weeks. Everyone played a 

great game and the player of the match was Michaela 

Mulder. We look forward to playing St Columban’s this 

weekend. This match-up will require everyone to be on 

their game after a number of easy games to start the 

season. Great job everyone! 

Ellaine Grondin (Captain) 



It was another good win for the year 8 girls’ basketball 

team, with the final score being 34-4. Our 3 top scorers 

for the day were Ellie, with 3 baskets, Vanisha with 5 

baskets and Emily with 9 baskets. The entire team are 

training hard with only a few games left until the end 

of the season. The challenge this weekend is to stay 

focused. 

Elke Jackel (Coach) 

Firsts Volleyball 


The firsts knew that last weekend’s game would have 

been our toughest of the season. Although it seemed 

as though we should have wrapped up the game pretty 

quickly, we got what we expected: a two and a half 

hour fight to the death. OC came out firing and 

comfortably took the first two sets. We then switched 

off and narrowly lost the following two sets, leading to 

a fifth set. Deciding we had to step up now if we 

wanted a victory, the boys came out in the fifth with a 9 

-3 score line. Continuing this dominance, we were able 

to succeed with a four point win. With that game out of 

the way, we look to continue a successful season 

where we will likely meet with St Paul’s again in the 

finals. 

Harvey Meale (Captain) 

Year 10 Volleyball 


Last weekend Year 10 Boys’ Volleyball played at home 

against St Paul’s. We came out strongly early in both 

the first and second sets, with some great serving and 

spiking. In the third set the opposition tried to make a 

comeback, clawing back some of our lead, but we 

retained it to take out the match 3 sets to nil. Everyone 

played well. 

Jack Frampton (Captain) 




Our home match against St Paul’s on Saturday 

ended in another win for OC. Both teams were equal 

in terms of gameplay throughout the match; 

however, St Paul’s players were not able to return 

the Redbacks’ lethal serves. Jacob, Brent and Alex 

scored multiple points and the team held their serve. 

Nevertheless, it was the team’s captain, QV, who was 

able to mount multiple streaks and thus spread fear 

among St Paul’s backline. The final score was 3 sets 

to nil for OC and the team is playing St Columban’s 

this weekend. 

Quangvy Ho (Captain) 



We had a resounding win again. We played better in 

this game and we were far more consistent with 

using the three shot set piece plays that Mr Griggs, 

our Coach, has been getting us to do. We played 

well and were hitting the ball deeper, making it 

harder for the opposition to get the ball back. 

Mr Griggs this week had three “Players of the Match: 

Jayden Smith, Matt Smallwood and Byron Perry.

Class PE 

This week saw a change over from Years 4 to 7 swimming classes to a cross country unit. The Year 1 to 3 students 

entered the pool for the first time this week and will continue until the end of the term. In previous years Year 1 to 

7 students could share the pool in the first five weeks, however, due to the increased demand on the pool this year 

this was not possible for Term 1. Years 1 to 7 will continue swimming in Term 4, ensuring 10 weeks of swimming 

and water-based activities are provided. Preps will enter the water for the first time in Term 4.
