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 />

Dr Michael Carroll<br />

COLLEGE PRINCIPAL<br />

undertake <strong>the</strong>ir chosen activity - no matter what<br />

level.<br />
