10-12 Boys Basketball |
Mr Peters |
70 - 28 JT Win |
After a slow start the boys picked up to win convincingly; scoring 41 points in the second half. Still need to ‘box out’ on the defensive end. Four players scored in the double digits - Tayvion Zaglas, Eli Matic, Wesley Titus and Kisione Tupola. MVP: Devontay Zaglas |

10-12 Girls Basketball |
Mr Conway |
35 - 10 JT Win |
Before my Grandfather died he said to me “one day you will witness greatness, I promise you.” As the years passed and I faced more and more mediocrity...I became disillusioned. I started to resent my grandfather. In my darkest moments I would curse his memory and even take pleasure in his demise. I write this to say that today, at long last, I thought my grandfather’s promise had come true. The first half of this game was as close to greatness as I could imagine. We managed to keep our opponents to zero. In a whole half of basketball they were unable to break our banks. We were perfect. At half time I said a little prayer of thanks to my grandfather. I was repentant for my doubts. But then the second half started. We were sloppy. We were not great. We managed to seek out a win. My experience of greatness was tarnished. Is it better to have tasted a fleeting moment of greatness or to wait to find a complete moment? Is the quest better than the destination? I am not sure. I just know that I now believe he is a liar. MVP: Shontay McClymont-Lucas |

7-9 Boys Volleyball |
Mr Williamson |
3 - 0 JT Win |
Close game, especially in the first set. Fringe players stepped up well to take an early lead. The introduction of Garang, Lachlan and Cody resulted in a fairly comfortable victory. Few mistakes this week and better serving. MVP: Lachlan Phiousodarith |

7-9 Girls Volleyball |
Mrs Pellegrino |
1-2 MAC Win |
A strong first set from both teams with multiple rallies. The JT team came to win the first set 25-21. With the second set, JT lost confidence after 6 points in a row was won by MAC from their serves. After a team talk, JT were ready to bring their a-game in the third and final set. Unfortunately, the rallies between JT and MAC were favoured for MAC, costing JT to lose the game. I commend the JT team on how they performed in both the first and third set; it has been the best game so far in terms of rallies. Well done. MVP: Alexis Paulo |

10-12 Girls Oztag |
Mrs. White |
14 - 1 JT Win |
This week the girls were blessed with the presence of super coach Mrs White. Psychologically and tactically this (no doubt) had enormous influence in carrying them forward to victory against their opposition MacArthur Adventist College. Much like their coach, the girls were impressive in their game and the spirit in which they played it. In attack they maintained deep lines and penetrated the defence numerous times being rewarded for their efforts with 14 tries. This perhaps could have been more had we not made a number of passing errors. Tries were awarded to Ella F, Ella D (2), Emilie (2), Kaylah (2), Kiara (3) and Shanae (4). These were a culmination of both sterling team and individual plays. Defensively JT were sharp, quick off the mark and denied their opponents countless metres. JT only conceded the one try and in true sportsmanship were happy for their opponent’s success. Players of the match today were Kaylah and Kiara. Thanks for having me on tour. I do apologise to Mr Tran who may be looking for a new coaching role in the near future! MVP: Kaylah Marshall and Kiara Bolz |

10-12 Boys Oztag |
Mr McGrath |
13 - 2 JT Win |
A new opponent into the competition was exciting for the senior boys, creating great anticipation for week 7. Ryan Connors was destined for his first try, until it was unrightfully stripped from him and he was sent back to his wing. An outstanding performance by Filemu and Jesse saw JT dominate the whole game. Looking forward to the final few weeks of the competition! MVP: Jesse Mundine |

10 - 4 JT Win |
The boys had a fantastic game and all round team performance. Our batting was flawless scoring 10 runs in 2 innings. Our fielding needs some work as we let some chances slip, however, our pitchers were good enough to close out the game. MVP: Alex Nohra |

7-9 Girls Hockey |
Mrs. Davidson |
0 - 0 DRAW |
A very competitive game, the girls worked very hard defensively to produce a 0 all result. They worked well as a team and their skills and communication are getting better and better each week. Our player of the match was Pratha Chauhan who has contributed consistently all season with her hard work on the field and an always positive and supportive attitude. MVP: Pratha Chauhan |

Swim Carnival
On Friday the 5th of March student's descended on Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre for the 41st Annual John Therry swimming carnival. As students entered the gates the year 12 captains and students immediately started the carnival off with the first round of cheering, a superb display of leadership. Connolly and Murray relished their position in the grandstand.
Many of our competitive swimmers had been squad training from the early hours (5:00am) and were ready to set a blistering pace in the 200m Individual Medley. Throughout the day there was some fantastic swimming on display, and it’s great to see some speedy new swimmers joining the JTCC team in Year 7.
As the day heated up participation in the swimming events began to increase and most of the year 12 students took the opportunity to swim with the aid of flotation devices in the non competitive races. With Aqua Volleyball Squares happening in the 25 metre pool, Volleyball and Tug-of-War happening outside and races in the main pool, there were opportunities for all students to get involved, have fun and earn points for their house.
After completing our standard swimming program with time to spare, it was time to run the premier events! This year we completed a junior, intermediate and senior biathlon to give our juniors a taste of one of the highlights of the day. The pace was frantic, with the lead swimmers churning up the pool before handing over to the first leg of runners. Well done to all competitors involved in this exciting event.
The relays are always a personal highlight and we see the best out of our students in the pool and in the grandstands cheering on their respective house groups. There were some nail biting finishes in each relay, with major honours going to:
Connolly - (Girls) 6 x 50 metre race
Murray - (Boys) 6 x 50 metre race
Both male and female staff teams were victorious against the students, without having to rely on any dubious tactics.
Thank you to all staff and student leaders who were both exceptional throughout the day. A few members of the public (regular swimmers at the pool) and the pool staff summed up the day when they commended our students' excellent behaviour and manners, which is a great tribute to the students that attended on the day.
Congratulations to all our competitive swimmers and good luck at the Diocesan Carnival this Friday.
Age Champions and House Champion will be announced at the next school assembly.
