THE LOCKER ROOM<br />
From <strong>the</strong> Principal<br />
Term 3 has seen ano<strong>the</strong>r period of outstanding<br />
performances from our players, parents, staff<br />
and supporters.<br />
The amount of help needed, and provided, to<br />
enable Rugby – our highest participation sport –<br />
to be played each weekend at home and away<br />
is quite remarkable, made all <strong>the</strong> more satisfying<br />
by <strong>the</strong> enjoyment and success of our young men.<br />
Just as much work goes into our vastly improved<br />
Basketball program.<br />
Both sports have proven successful overall, with<br />
<strong>the</strong> performances by our flagship teams – <strong>the</strong><br />
First V and First XV – deserving special mention<br />
for <strong>the</strong> way in which <strong>the</strong>y competed week after<br />
week, often against much bigger teams, and for<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir sportsmanship.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> cultural front, our Debating and Chess<br />
seasons also came to an end, and like Term 3<br />
sports, both had successful seasons. Our Senior<br />
A Debating Team finishing as QDU Champion<br />
and our very young Premier Chess Board,<br />
showing great potential for <strong>the</strong> future.<br />
We also are blessed with outstanding amenities<br />
at Tennyson and at our main campus at Spring<br />
Hill and I would like to thank Mr Alan Kennedy<br />
and Mr Craig Jesberg at Tennyson, Activities<br />
Coordinators Mr Tyron Mandrusiak and Mr Sam<br />
Mackinnon, Coordinators Ms Alex Cashin and<br />
Mr Bruce Devine, and <strong>the</strong> Rugby, Basketball and<br />
Debating Supporters’ Groups for what <strong>the</strong>y have<br />
done not just in Term 3 but in <strong>the</strong> lead-up.<br />
Next term it is Track and Field, which already<br />
has begun, and Gymnastics, which dominate<br />
sports proceedings and I am sure that we will<br />
once again, compete to <strong>the</strong> best of our ability and<br />
always exhibit <strong>the</strong> very best of sportsmanship.<br />
