Volleyball and Athletics Update
By Mr Corey Bell
Senior Volleyball
Senior Volleyball was held on the 17th of March at Corio Leisure Time and saw Newcomb entering both a Senior Boys and Senior Girls Team. Competition was tough early, with Newcomb only marginally going down in their first games to Matthew Flinders and Grovedale.
After that it was smooth sailing, with the teams winning both of there fixtured match ups. We did unfortunately see an injury to Maddux Clarke, and we wish him all the best with his recovery.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all students involved and Mr Klingberg and Mr Unmack for their work. The team was well organised with four training sessions held by both Mr Unmack and Mr Klingberg, which allowed us to be as well prepared on the day!
Intermediate Volleyball
On the 10th of March, Miss Hill lead her group of intermediate netballers to Corio Leisuretime Centre to compete in the Intermediate Volleyball competition. They only narrowly lost their first set and continued to win their next two rounds to finish the score 2-1. Emily Dunn and Zoey Davis were noted for their accurate serving. Please check our social media for our Seahorses Chant which was fantastically executed. A big thank you to Miss Hill and the team for a great day and representing the College.
Athletics Update
On the 9th of March, Newcomb Secondary College completed it's Annual Athletics Carnival. It was fantastic to see students participating in many events for their Houses to gain as many points as possible. We also saw amazing costumes and decorations, and even saw a dinosaur!
It was great to see all of our staff getting involved in relays and events, and really made for a successful day for everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff involved, as without them the day would not have been able to run. Stay tuned to our next assembly to see the winners for our Carnival.
Go Seahorses!
