Sports Weekly Wrap Up
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” – Pele

As senior sport concludes for the term, it is important to remember that success is a journey not a destination. Enjoying the grind is far more critical that the outcome. The process is what holds someone in good stead. Ready to endure hardships, celebrate successes and continue on an upward trajectory. With two teams competing in semi-finals when I last wrote, it was an exciting time, however, whilst disappointing for both to lose in these matches, the seasons were undoubtedly a success and all students should be congratulated on their efforts.

As the end of term approaches this also means that our Year 7 and 8 sport trials are also now almost over. Students have now rotated into the final sport allocation and places in teams will be communicated in the next fortnight. The students have been excellent in giving maximum effort as they push for selection in the ACC teams to represent De La Salle College. This week our Year 10 and senior sides have been holding trials with our football and soccer teams having been on the track even earlier for Term 2 teams. The large student numbers have been pleasing to see and we wish all the students the best in their pursuits of representing the College.

Over the last fortnight, we have also seen our Lawn Bowls teams compete in the ACC Championships. We had a large contingent of Year 9 students representing the College and their enthusiasm, demonstrated by their huge numbers, will undoubtedly assist the College in future years. My thanks to Head of Campus Mr Alexander, who assisted with trialling over 35 Year 9 students to select the lucky representatives who would make the team. On the day, our best result came from our Year 11 team who finished second in the pool and lost to Emmanuel College in their semi-final. De La Salle had two other teams competing strongly, but both were knocked out of consideration at the conclusion of the preliminary rounds.
|
Lastly can I remind student in Years 5 to 8 that applications for the College’s High Performance Sports Program are currently open. (See LINK here, a reminder that you will need to be logged into your student account to apply). Applications will no longer be available after Monday 27 March so be sure to get your application in if you are keen to be considered.
