JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Term 2, Week 1

Term 2 is shaping up to be an exciting one, especially for our budding athletes! With a full calendar of school, MISA and Diocesan competitions as well as many sport pathway opportunities, there’s plenty to inspire, challenge, and motivate our students to get involved and give it their best.

As we gear up for a busy term of sport, it’s important to remember our expectations around behaviour and uniform. Representing our school means showing respect—on and off the field—and wearing our uniform with pride, especially during sporting events.

We’re also celebrating the fantastic success of Term 1, where our students showcased incredible talent, teamwork, and school spirit across various sports. Let’s carry that same energy into Term 2 and continue building a culture of excellence and participation.

Please see below our Final results and standings for MISA Term 1. JTCC did really well, securing FOUR MISA Championships so far.  We currently sit in 2nd place overall in the MISA Champion School, sitting 16 points behind Mt Carmel. We managed to claim Junior and Senior Boys MISA Champions for Term 1 - fingers crossed we can continue our dominance into term 2.MISA Trials for Term 2 continue in Week 1, with our teams to be finalised ready for Round 1 matchups in Week 2 of the term. 

Jack Crawford Games 2024: A Triumphant Return

After the unfortunate postponement of the Jack Crawford Games in 2024 due to extreme heat, the much-anticipated event made a triumphant return in Term 1 — and it was better than ever!

The day kicked off with a meaningful College liturgy, setting a reflective and spirited tone for the festivities ahead. Students then gathered for the exciting 2024 JT Gift — a fast-paced, handicapped 100m sprint featuring four representatives from each House, with placements based on their Athletics Carnival times.

A huge congratulations to Maisie Dadd and Keiren Mostyn, who claimed victory in their respective races and earned valuable points for their Houses to kick off the carnival.

Following the sprint, students rotated through a variety of games and activities, enjoying a full day of friendly competition and community spirit. The afternoon brought the highly anticipated House Entrances, a true highlight of the event.

Special congratulations go to our 2024 Jack Crawford Champions – Conolly. Conolly hasn’t won a Jack Crawford Championship since 2017!

A massive shout-out to our Year 12 students, whose dedication and creativity made the House Entrances a standout moment. After weeks of rehearsals — and even restarting preparations in the new year — the senior students dazzled the College with energetic dance routines, themed performances, and vibrant costumes. Their enthusiasm, leadership, and pride in their Houses were evident and truly inspiring.

We look forward to seeing this same spirit and commitment from our Year 12s in the upcoming College carnivals and sporting events throughout the year.

See below some of the major point scores from the day:

Pathway Achievements

We had four students representing the college in Week 11, term 1 at the Southern Country U18 Girls Rugby League trials in Canberra. All the girls were excellent ambassadors to the school and did really well in such a strong pool of rugby league players. Well done Matilda Giles, Annelise Hall, Alexis Paulo and Navara Mataipule. Annelise was successfully selected in the Southern Country team to play at the NSWCCC Selection Carnival on the 19-20th May, we wish you good luck and look forward to hearing how you go at the next level.
