SPORTS NEWS - WEEK 5
I spoke too soon last week - the rain has returned. On Monday we had a small team of our top runners participate in the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival. Originally scheduled for a few weeks ago down at Willandra in Nowra, it was moved to Narellan Sports Hub due to wet weather and poor ground conditions. Our runners represented JTCC with pride and integrity and gave their best effort. We have had 5 students successfully selected in the Wollongong Diocesan team to compete at NSWCCC Cross Country on Wednesday 7th June. A report including our successful students is outlined below.
Unfortunately CEDOW has cancelled all non-pathway sporting events for term 2. This means Diocesan Hockey and Diocesan Volleyball have been cancelled for 2022 and will not be rescheduled.
Reminder - our JTCC Athletics Carnival is coming up - Friday 3rd of June. This is a compulsory school day and an awesome school event. Consent for this event is required via the Compass Parent Portal.
A few general reminders:
- Students who missed out on MISA or DIO teams , there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC, keep an eye out on the Compass Newsfeed.
- Any students that would like to request to change groups for 9/10 REC - you need to see Mrs. Roberts at her desk. You must do this prior to Tuesday lunch time.
- A reminder that consent for all sporting events must be given via the Parent Portal on Compass. Please ring the school if you have issues logging in or accessing Events.
| Teacher | Team | Score | Report |
| MMH | 10-12 BOYS LEAGUE D1 | vs. THAC20-0WIN | We were a few troops down today for different reasons and were down to 11 on 13 in the end and despite the obvious disadvantage for JT, THAS were held scoreless. A rainy day was probably favourable for us, keeping the defensive line tight and making it hard to scramble and form the overlap. No matter the conditions, the boys keep showing up for one another andShowed what we are all about. Congratulations on a good win! MVP : Noah McKenzie |

| LBR | 10-12 GIRLS SOCCER | vs St Pats1-1 Draw | What a difference a few weeks makes, the girls have bounced back from losing 17-0, 5-1 and 4-2 to now having a draw against a strong St Pats side. The girls played extremely well and are showing some real potential as a team. In wet conditions, Annalise was able to stay composed and slot away an early goal which we deserved. On the stroke of half time St Pats were able to equalise from a through ball. After a few tough weeks, it was pleasing to see the girls keep their composure and confidence in the second half to hold on for a 1-1 draw. Allyssa Barry once again made some amazing saves in goals, with some assistance from her five strong backline. Mariella, Tess, Chelsea, Amanda and Trusha were fantastic in the backline and were instrumental in our result today. MVP goes to Annalise Hodson who dictated everything in midfield and scored our goal. A great performance.MVP - Annalise Hodson. |
| SPS | 7-9 BOYS BASKETBALL | vs. MAS61-44 WIN | Below our best with a need for all players to know their roles explicitly, especially defensively. Very pleasing quick transition scoring by our guards.MVP: Keon Zaglas |
| HJS | 7-9 GIRLS BASKETBALL | vs. WCCS26-17WIN | The girls played really well today, they competed very hard against a very physical William Carey team however we kept composed and managed to hold onto our lead (which we had the whole game) winning 26-17. Placing us first and undefeated, we are hoping to finish our season with a win next week. MVP: Annelise Hall |
| BWBACN | 7-9 BOYS HOCKEY | vs. WCCS0-1 LOSS | A great game against WCCS that went down to the wire. As a team we played well and our passing and clearances out of trouble were very good. Unfortunately, a late through ball saw WCCS steal the win. MVP: Josh Booth |
| NWN | 7-9 MIXED FRISBEE | Forfeit - Not the afternoon of sport we were looking forward to with an unexpected change of venue catching us unaware. We had a fairly intense game among ourselves.MVP Cooper Wells |

Diocesan Cross Country Carnival
On Monday the 23rd of May John Therry sent their best runners to Narellan Sports Hub for the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival. After a date postponement and late venue change, it was great to actually go ahead with the event.
Going into the day with optimism and high spirits our small team tried their best showcasing some of our elite athletes at John Therry. Some new strong runners joined the JT cross country team showing some real pace with Noah, Davonne and Blake all finishing in the top 6 and progressing to the next level. Along with these three outstanding efforts we also had Darcy Wilson and Dominic Baker finish in the top 6 of their events both progressing to the next level. Unfortunately our ladies were outpaced for the most part of the carnival up against some quick runners from other schools. Some determined efforts from Bridget and Khloe saw them narrowly miss selection for the CCC cross country.
A tremendous effort by the team from each and every student proudly representing John Therry. Good luck to those who will compete next month at Eastern Creek.
