Paul Kelly Cup Zone AFL
A small break in the weather allowed our Primary Boys and Girls AFL teams to play in the All Schools Zone Paul Kelly Cup at Teralba on Tuesday. With very little training under their belt due to the recent rain, our students had to rely on their abilities developed over previous years, and did exceptionally well, with a combination of hard tackling and silky skills. The boys started slowly against 2 very strong teams, but found their groove to finish with some wins to mount their case for a Regional final spot. The girls were, the opposite, starting very strongly, but hitting the tough competition in their last 2 games. They were certainly made to work hard, particularly in their final game which was a real arm wrestle. We are still waiting to hear if either team will progress to the Regional finals next term, but either way, the students had a great day out and represented the College with a fantastic attitude.

Primary CIS Swimming Carnival
10 Swimmers competed at Sydney Olympic Park in the NSW CIS Swimming Championships last week. This was their 4th carnival after qualifying through Schools, Zone and CSSA. It’s a tough carnival, with most events fielding 32 swimmers across 3 heats and then finals. Once again, our swimmers performed well, with even more personal best results and 3 students making it into the finals. Congratulations once again to our Swimming team.

BBL Trophy visits BCC
The BIG Bash League trophy, won this year by the Sydney Sixers, stopped by this week on a promotional visit for our Primary students. Students were able to get up close to the cup, although some were disappointed that they couldn’t fill it for a drink! The cup was brought to Belmont as part of a thank you for our commitment to cricket.
The College is currently running an after-school program, and our Years 3-6 students have been battling it out in their cricket competition this term in their weekly Friday sport.
Cross Country Carnival
After a fortnight of monsoonal weather, we were blessed with a couple of fine days and absolutely beautiful conditions to run our “Fly-In, Fly-Out’ carnival on Friday. The course was modified in order for the Cross Country to go ahead and not become BCC Mud Run. On all accounts the competition was hot and many had fun walking the course too.
Congratulations to the winning Houses and Age Champions. The top 4 in each age will represent the College at the Zone Cross Country next term.
