TCS NETBALL – Season 2022 Celebration and Awards 

It was a beautiful evening of celebration recently for our Pearl, Topaz and Opal netballers at their end-of-season netball dinner in the Rock Centre. This year’s theme was ‘Blockbuster Movies’ which saw each team do a stellar job of decorating their table, where we had the likes of Titanic to Tangled and Jumanji to Grease. The atmosphere was lovely all evening with teams and their coach’s sharing stories of their season together and announcing their team award recipients.

Umpires were recognised and celebrated for their outstanding service, as well as coaches being acknowledged for their dedication to our teams. Major award winners for the evening were Miliame Mocelutu who was announced as ‘Student Coach of the Year’ and Mikealie Payne who received the new perpetual award for ‘Club Contribution’ donated by and to be named in recognition of Mrs Debbie Bennett-Rauch. The official proceedings concluded with a tearful farewell to our departing Year 12 netballers and a heartfelt tribute to Mrs Debbie Bennett-Rauch who is retiring from netball coaching after 15 years of service to our club and whose presence will be missed immensely.

After a night filled with gratitude and celebration of a great season of netball, attendees then kicked up their heels and enjoyed some energetic dancing for the remainder of the evening led enthusiastically by our senior players on the stage.

JCU Legal Studies Conference

JCU Legal Studies Conference

JCU Townsville, Bebegu Yumba Campus.
by Tehgan Gee (Year 12, Legal Studies)

On Friday 19 August, a group of Year 11 and 12 students, accompanied by Ms. Gloudemans and Ms. Avery, had the opportunity to attend the JCU Legal Studies Conference. Along with several other schools from our region, we listened to lectures from erudite professors, solicitors, and prosecutors. We heard from multi-disciplinary artist and daughter of the renowned Eddie Mabo, Gail Mabo; Senior Prosecutor of the Police Service, Mark Fenlon, and Legal Officer of the Royal Australian Airforce, Travis Schmitt.

In honour of the 30-year anniversary of the landmark Mabo Decision, we gained knowledge of its continuing significance in native title, the concerning disproportion of Indigenous people within our legal system, and the power of Art Therapy used in the justice system. In addition, we were informed of the ranging study paths available at JCU in this area and were provided with examples of the endless career opportunities within the legal field.

I am sure those who also attended would agree it was a very interesting and beneficial day and were grateful to attend.

Writers’ Camp

Writers’ Camp

Gumburu, Paluma.
by Lucy Edelman – Year 8

Writer Camp 2022 was an extremely enjoyable experience. Our guest writer, Sheryl Gwyther, taught us many things about keeping short stories concise, developing characters, and adding twists at the end of our writing.

We went on a sensory trail walk, where we were able to use our other senses apart from sight, as we were blindfolded. Between the many competitions and fun moments, we learned a lot about writing short stories and how to improve our writing quality. With Sheryl’s guidance and feedback, we were all able to create entertaining, quality pieces of writing and walk away with new skills in storytelling.

This camp was extremely enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it.
