Term 2 : Mid Term GCC Secondary Sport Report

Trish Buckley Volleyball

Over the last month 6 of GCCs best middle school Volleyball teams have competed in the Trish Buckley Volleyball Tournament at the Caloundra Indoor Stadium. This is a regional competition involving Secondary State and Independent schools from the Sunshine Coast.

Our teams put in some fantastic efforts throughout a challenging tournament requiring teams to play up to four games on a Friday evening. These games often ran quite late, so a special thanks goes out to our parents for their support. After losing to Mountain Creek SHS in the Semi Final our year 9 boys put together a brilliant game in the Grand Final to take out first place and the winners medals. All other teams played exceptionally well to finish at the top end of their respective competitions. GCC finished in 3rd place for the Junior Competition and in 4th place overall out of a total of 13 competing schools.

Friday MS Sport Vs Suncoast CC

This term our middle school students competed against Suncoast Christian College on Friday afternoon in Week 4. Unfortunately this competition was rained out in Week 5. Competition was fierce however the results were predictable given the current strengths of these schools.

GCC dominated SCC at Volleyball while SCC dominated GCC at Basketball. Wins were fairly even across the board when it came to Soccer, Netball and Touch Football. SCC won the majority of Ultimate Frisbee games. Next week selected teams will compete against Beerwah SHS across the same sports. The last two weeks of term MS students will be preparing for the Athletics Carnival that will take place in Week 1 of Term 3.
