A big thank you to all our students for participating in the JTCC Athletics Carnival on Friday. It was a fantastic day, and a great ‘last one ever’ for our Year 12 students. Also a huge thank you to all the staff that ensure that the day runs smoothly, myself and the students are very grateful for your time and effort.
Many of the MISA teams had semi-finals this week, with a number of teams battling it out for a spot in the grand final next week. Please see the results below.
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.

10-12 BOYS LEAGUE D1 |
Semi final vs. MCCC 32- 10 WIN |
We came up against MCCC in our semi final today and JT were ready for the challenge. The boys matched them physically and played some good football which dominated the game. A few good TA’s from Dechlan and big shots from Jaxon led the way which helped us get a grand final spot for next week. Well done boys! MVP: Jaxon Gray |

10-12 GIRLS IND Cricket |
Semi final vs. MCCC 63-59 WIN |
We lost the toss and were asked to field. Afi, with the support of Allanda (runout) and Tamara (catch), got us off to a great start as we had Mount Carmel 2/-3 after the first over. Some consistent bowling by the rest of the girls, coupled with catches to Grace A (2), Zarli and Grace T and a runout by Grace Augustine meant we were able to restrict Mount Carmel to a score of 59. It was not our best batting display, we managed to claw our way to victory and set up a grand final against MacArthur Anglican next week. MVP: Fanaafi Fauese (3/-5 and 17 runs) |

10-12 BOYS SOFTBALL |
vs. MAS 6-5 WIN |
The boys played very well and secured the win against MAS. The first innings was very close with two runs a piece. In the second innings with bases loaded, Mason hit a grand slam to get four runs which ultimately won us the game. MVP: Mason Mcphee |

11-12 GIRLS NETBALL |
Semi final vs. SBCC 28-2 WIN |
The girls came up against St Benedict’s in the first round of Semi’s. The whole team came out firing, despite arriving late and only playing 3 quarters, with stand out performances across the court. The girls worked as a unified unit turning over balls in each third of the court. The defence end of Amylia McKenzie and Sokowa Parker made it hard for SBCC in their shooting circle. The mid court of Ella Drayton, Maddy Tonna, Hannah Jones and Erica Powell made light work of moving the ball down the court to our shooting end. Our midcourters fed our shooters Kaitlin Kellett, Chantel Gill and Samara Varga who moved and made space for each other combining together to shoot 28 goals and taking us through to the second week of semi’s to play off for third position! MVP: Kaitlin Kellett |

10-12 GIRLS SOCCER |
vs St Pats 7-0 LOSS |
A disappointing way to finish what was an enjoyable season. Despite having several key players out, the girls maintained a positive attitude and gave it their best. Unfortunately St Pats were too strong and ended up winning comfortably. It was good to see a variety of students play and learn the game of soccer, always willing to learn and adapt. Thank you for a good season ladies. |

7-9 GIRLS BASKETBALL |
Semi final vs. St Pats 34-25 WIN |
The JTCC 7-9 Girls Basketball team were able to continue they're longest ever win streak today against the formidable St. Pats squad. We were able to take a strong lead in the first half with Georgina Akol taking strong command of the court and scoring constantly. This momentum continued with Isabella-Grace Marshall and Navara Mataipule stepping up to add some well earned buckets to hold our lead till the final buzzer. A good offense also needs a good defense, and that was brought by Laura Augustine who always managed to be in the right position to stop many potential points from the opposition. The final score ended in 34-25 with JTCC at the top! MVP - Georgina Akol |

7-9 BOYS HOCKEY |
vs. OPAC 0-1 LOSS |
The boys had back to back loses going down narrowly to Oran Park. The boys started with their backs against the wall struggling to keep possession of the ball. Some good tackles from Harrison ensure we kept the game close. Unfortunately on the last stroke of the game Oran Park scored from a penalty corner giving the boys their second loss of the season. MVP: Harrison Clinch |

7-9 MIXED FRISBEE |
vs. WCCS 5- 0 WIN |
What an exciting and fast paced game this was! Our JTCC mixed Frisbee team dominated from the outset. They worked well as a team and devised strategies to combat the wind and shut down the offensive plays from the William Carey Team. Brooklyn Osborne scored twice, while Sienna Marelic and Alex Nohra both scored one goal each. A great display of sportsmanship was shown by JT team members who assisted an opposition team member with a cramp The students thought that the edge given to today’s game may have come from their celebrity “Super Coach” Mrs White, however, I would have to say that it was pure grit and determination from the whole team that prevailed! MVP: Alexander Nohra |
JTCC ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
This year we went into the Athletics Carnival with Chisholm, Ryan and Murray all having a carnival win each. Can Conolly claim a carnival victory, or will our 2021 athletics carnival winners, Murray, be too strong?
As always participation is key to age champion titles and final house points. As such, a number of valuable points are still unallocated as the javelin event still needs to be completed at school, and may be pivotal when assigning Age champions. A tip for 2023 captains is to ensure all events have maximum competitors. Throughout the day students would rotate between the Track and Field events in their respective age groups, with Conolly and Murray House having the highest participation points for the day.
Friday dawned overcast and very chilly. Despite this, staff arrived excited for the day and students were very punctual in arriving at Campbelltown Stadium. The 200m events were the first event scheduled for the day, and the first track events utilising electronic timing gates. The gates allowed us to have time to run a number of additional track events, including the 400m and 1500m. The turn out and enthusiasm from all the students were great, and especially from the year 12 cohort, which was fantastic.
A number of students were feeling invincible and broke some records; 5 new records and establishment records set in all divisions for the 1500m - see table below for our new record holders. Highlight of the day was Deng Deng (year 7) smashing the Jaidon Cosmidis’ 2021 record in the 12 year boys high jump and having the whole school around him to hype him up.
The Annual Yr 12 House Challenge is always a spectacularly chaotic event, with many tasks involved to give more students an opportunity to be involved. Students had to dig their house coloured wooden egg out of the sand pit before walking the wooden egg across to the target challenge (Students had to knock the egg off the ledge before completing 4 legs of the egg relay (hopping, passing, kicking the egg from end to end). The students finished the challenge in a human pyramid where the egg was thrown to the competitor on top, and then a whole track run with the house team to signify the end of the race. The race was mayhem and Mr. Williamson (slightly biased in his judging) ended up disqualifying the majority of the teams, with all four houses being declared equal winners.
Throughout the day Murray developed a strong overall lead and steamed ahead without looking back. With the javelin events left, will the straggling teams be able to catch them?
The Diocesan carnival will be held on Friday 29th July at Campbelltown Athletics Stadium. Our JTCC will be published on Compass once javelin is completed.
