Term 2 Issue No. 3 July 2014

From the Sports Coordinators

The College Winter sport is in full swing as we approach the half way mark for the

season. Each week our students are placing their talents on the field, pitch and court in

representation of their team and College in their pursuit of excellence as they near their

final play offs in August.

Since our last CEA newsletter, our Marist Netball side have made a successful trip to Mt

Carmel College in NSW to bring home the title of Marist Netball Champions for 2014.

This is the second time the Girls have achieved this title in the competition’s 20 year

history.

In the State-Wide Knock-Out competitions we have recently had our Girls Football,

Soccer and 10A Netball teams compete. Our Girls Football side have progressed

through to the third round defeating Millicent and Thomas More in their pursuit to

defend their State title from 2013. We wish them well in their Semi Final game against

Nuriootpa early in term 3. Our Open Soccer Girls were unsuccessful in their round two

clash against Norwood/Morialta, while our 10A Netballers were victorious against

Woodcroft and Cardijn College to earn a spot in the Final series in August.

All of our Football teams continue to excel, with all teams producing fantastic football.

We sincerely thank our coaches and managers for their time and commitment to our

football program – they are providing our boys with a high level of expertise and

leadership.

Congratulations to James Grant, James Sprules and our U16 Rugby team, including

players from Sacred Heart Middle School, who played an undefeated Pembroke team in

the Grand Final at Pembroke. Our team played in front of approximately 100 Pembroke

staff and students and went on to win in the final minutes of the game – what a fantastic

result!

We welcome Robert Gill to the new role of Sacred Heart College Football Coordinator for

the remainder of the 2014 season. Robert is the current Cricket Coordinator and we look

forward to having him on board with the College Football program.

Our annual exchange with Assumption College Kilmore is fast approaching, and we

encourage all students to consider taking on a billet from Assumption College and being

a part of this wonderful exchange in August. Please contact Margie Weller in Student

Services to be involved.

Enjoy the holidays and break from the winter sport competition. Games resume in Week

1 Term 3 on Saturday July 26th.

Netball

Marist Netball Champions 2014 On Sunday the 22nd of June, our Open A Netball side flew to

Sydney for the 20th Marist Netball Championships at Mt Carmel

College. The SHC side was one of 18 schools from around

Australia and New Zealand to make the trip for a chance to take

home the title of Marist champions 2014. This title had

previously been achieved once by SHC in 2001 in Bunbury

College, Western Australia.

Monday marked the start of match play with the SHC side facing

8 different Colleges in a carnival style program. At the

conclusion of Day 1, SHC were undefeated and qualified first in

the Championship draw. The depth of talent in the SHC side was

highlighted in the allocation of best on ground votes, which were

awarded by the opposition, going to 8 different players.

On Tuesday the girls stepped it up a notch with 7 opponents in

the Championship draw. SHC faced tougher matches against

Assumption College Kilmore, Notre Dame Shepparton and

Woolwich but progressed undefeated. On the morning of the

final day, SHC played Sale College Victoria in the final round of

their qualifying matches with a tough fought win by one goal to

finish in top place. This meant that the girls progressed straight

to the Grand final while Sale College and Lavalla College fought

it out in the Semi Finals to determine our opponent.

Sale College Victoria were victors in the Semi Final and

progressed to the Grand Final. The SHC girls were prepped and

ready for their big final game which was to be played in front of

the other 16 Colleges. After 10 minutes of hard fought netball the

score was tied at 5 all. The SHC girls were giving their absolute

all and needed to keep their intensity and persistence in what

was proving to be a highly defensive game in extremely windy

conditions. By the 9th minute in the second term only 2 goals had

been scored leaving the score at 6 all with a minute to play. SHC

had possession and worked hard to get the ball into the goal

circle.

4 | P a g e

Anna Broadbent put the ball through to give SHC the lead of 7-6.

With 10 seconds to go Sale took their final centre pass but SHC

maintained their strong defence to prevent them scoring before

the final siren sounded. An emotional celebration was had by the

SHC side and support crew. The girls had worked so hard and

were thoroughly deserving of the win and title Marist Netball

Champions 2014.

A huge congratulations to the girls for their consistent display of

dynamic and creative netball over the 3 days. The girls were

flexible and adapted to various combinations throughout their 17

matches. SHC were able to step up and give more when required

and maintained an exceptional work rate in pressured situations.

The College is exceptionally proud of the team and the way in

which they conducted themselves both on and off the court.

A huge thank you to the support staff who made sure the girls

were well supported, and that they wanted for absolutely

nothing! To Sue, Sharon, Linda, Kath, Jane and Greg, your

support and contributions to the team were amazing and

provided the foundations to the winning formula.

To Captain Olivia Clark and Vice-Captain Ellie Kellock,

congratulations on your leadership in guiding your team

through a successful carnival. And to the team: Madi Nicholson,

Emmeline Ogilive, Anna Broadbent, Emily Hunter, Georgia

Kramm, Laura Chigwidden, Ellen Kessling and Charlie Parish,

congratulations! You are the mighty girls from Paringa Hall and

have marked your success in the Sacred Heart History books.

Year 10A State-Wide Knock-Out Netball On Wednesday 2nd July, our Year 10 Knock-Out

Netball team headed to Woodcroft College to compete

in the second round of the State-Wide Competition.

In their first match they faced Woodcroft College and

were slow to get started. Woodcroft hit 3 to SHC 0

with the first few minutes before the girls responded

with some strong defence from Shannon Jarvis and

Maddie Lemm. The girls capitalised on turn overs to

push ahead winning the first three quarters. Molly

Dignan, Anna Broadbent and Louise Hinge combined

well in the goal circle to put a total of 37 goals through

for SHC. Final score 37 – 25.

In the second game SHC started strongly against

Cardijn College. Exceptional drive through the mid

court from Sarah Chigwidden and Kristen Martini

proved too strong for Cardijn. In a more physical

match, consistent defence from Finn VanDerZalm and

Grainne Henry was valuable combined with

Shannon’s exceptional rebounding. SHC managed to

win the game 27 – 20 to progress to the State Final

series on 18th August at Netball SA Stadium.

We look forward to reporting on their success later in

the year.

Netball at SHCS Sacred Heart College is host to the weekly Catholic Girls Open B and

10B Netball Competitions for 2014. This year, SHC have 2 of our Open

B sides and 3 of our 10B sides competing in these competitions.

The Open sides are performing well in some close matches this season.

Currently they are sitting in 3rd and 4th spot on the ladder and we wish

them well in the remainder of their season. Our 3 year 10B sides have

had mixed results but managed to persist each week to contribute

positively to each of their teams. We wish each of the teams all the

best for the remainder of the season in Term 3.

Open B SHC#4

The girls have had a good start to the season and are showing

improvement from trainings where we have been incorporating different

drills and plays that work for the team. Despite the fact that it is the first

season where all girls have played together, they all work well and

understand each other's play. Both Danielle Wilkins and I are happy as

coaches where the girls are seated as we can clearly see weekly

improvements. We look forward to next semester.

Coaches - Madi Laurence & Danielle Wilkins

Open B SHC#5

In the first half of the season the girls have been lucky as the weather has

been good and haven’t had to come out on too many freezing cold

Saturdays. They are a determined and motivated team of girls that try

their hardest each week and are all incredibly versatile in their positions.

I feel very privileged to have been chosen to coach these girls in their

final year of school and look forward to finishing off the season on a high.

Coach – Claudia Laurence

Year 10B SHC#3

The 10B netball side really are a terrific bunch. They are a vibrant and

happy group that go out and do their best each Saturday. Although

results have not gone our way to date, each girl has displayed fantastic

attitude, application and sportsmanship, demonstrated by their

willingness to play in many different positions and taking the court rain,

hail or shine. Importantly they keep smiling and are great to be around

on a Saturday morning.

Coach – Garreth Hutton

Year 10B SHC#4

So far the season has had its hardships and triumphs. Starting

with eleven players our team looked strong. With plenty of area

for improvement the girls still managed a 26 goal win in the

second game of the season. Through some unfortunate

circumstances such as injury and just pure unluckiness the team

quickly dwindled down to last week’s six-player turn out.

Nevertheless the girls have been fighting each game to win and

in some cases just to play. Such as Olivia turning up to training

with a suspected fractured foot in a moonboot and telling me

that she will play on Saturday weather the moonboot is off or

not. The whole team has a willingness to do their best and

during the second half of the season I’m sure will not be any

different.

Coach Lauren Pluker

Year 10B SHC#5

The girls have been awesome both on and off the court! They

have proven to be great players having won at least half of the

games so far and been very competitive in games we only lost to

by few goals. They have been great about sharing positions

around and always playing extremely well in the positions

given, even if they don't believe so (yes Lauren- you are a great

shooter!). It took no time for them to show us how loud they

were (well done Kate for winning that award since day 1) and

we are very pleased to be able to coach this group. To the girls,

thanks for coming out to all the intense trainings and for

entertaining us with your stories. Finally, a massive thank you to

all the parents who come out and especially to those who score

for us, we really appreciate it!

Keep it up girls!

Rugby

Boys Rugby This year we decided to try and change the culture of rugby at the College by starting with an under 16

side rather than continue with the open side. We were also lucky enough to get the current State Senior

coach, Barry Cooper on board to coach the boys.

We started off the season with a lot of people putting their names down but very few turning out to

training. Our numbers were greatly helped by the College offering to provide jerseys for the players

which is a first. However, we still started the season with only 13 players to go into our first game

against St. Peters College. While they were bigger, our backs had more space due to reduced numbers

and we won out comfortable winners in the end.

After this win we also managed to receive players from the Middle School and a special mention should

go to Deb King who went above and beyond for the middle school boys to get them to games and

training. Our next game against Pembroke, saw us start with four reserves and a lot of confidence.

Unfortunately, Pembroke is one of the premium rugby school sides in the state and they displayed

structure and discipline to run out comfortable winners against us.

Our next game was a “home game” against CBC played at Burnside Rugby Club. We had to match

numbers against CBC and some poor defence really cost us with Sacred Heart trailing late in the second

half but the boys rallied and showed some tremendous spirit to steal a win with a Jonah Egerton

conversion on the buzzer to give us the win by one point.

After a forfeited win against St. Peters we faced PAC and this game was an excellent game that we were

unlucky to lose. A combination of poor discipline, injuries and dropped balls over the try line meant we

finished the game poorly but we had some positives from the game. Our new recruit Jake Williams

gave our attack some bite and really threatened to single handedly win the game for us.

Our final game was against CBC and we came into this game with a few trainings under our belt and

the knowledge that a win could see us contest the Grand Final. Again CBC forced us to match numbers

but this time around we dominated CBC both in the forwards and the backs. In the end we played like

the team we could be rather than the team we had been and we were into the Grand Final.

We faced an undefeated Pembroke side in the final who had not had one close match all season. The

game was played at their home ground and this saw us take to the field with a rather large crowd of

opposition supporters on the sideline. Pembroke dominated early on and they took an early lead with a

couple of tries. The boys though suddenly managed to get some ball and an excellent single effort saw

10 | P a g e

the winger run around the entire Pembroke backline to score. We lifted and Jake Williams scored again

sending us into half time at 12 all.

The second half played out much like the first with Pembroke dominating in the forwards and scoring

two unanswered tries to lead 26 -12. Again the team refused to concede and lead by some exceptional

clearing out in the forwards lead by Kelvin Mangidza, barnstorming breaks by Rhys Staker and

excellent back play lead by Kyle and Harry saw us score two quick tries both to Jake to see us trailing

by two points with five minutes to go. We missed a few opportunities with one pass missing the player

and going out right on the try line but a brilliant ball by the outside centre to Jake saw us score on the

siren and take out the win. An excellent result and well deserved to a team that really pulled together

on the day.

Congratulations to all involved.

Debating

Debating – Round 2

The Senior White team, all Year 11s, affirming that “Foreign Aid is a waste of money”,

went down to a more experienced Rostrevor team by two points. This was a particularly

challenging debate give the restriction of speakers’ points to one card. Christie Collins,

as first speaker showed great promise in her first debate; Rohan Howard-Fabretto

produced developed points and good voice modulation as second speaker, while Bianca

Tramaglino, for the second time in succession, was awarded Best Speaker for her incisive

rebuttal and succinct team summary.

The Senior Yellow team won on a forfeit by their opponents, but availed themselves of

the opportunity to debate the Adjudicator. The team at this stage remains undefeated.

Our Year 10 Green team, taking the Negative side on the topic “That Lunar Industries

acted improperly” lost by a point to Pembroke. Maxwell Hill received Best Speaker

Award. The debate was of high standard, especially since it required the students to

examine ethical issues in the 2009 film “Moon”, based on using clones for mining helium

as a source of energy from the moon.

Football

Open Girls State-Wide Knock-Out Football As the winter morning hit the team, the girls quickly fired up heading

out to the muddy main oval of Sacred Heart. After a solid warm up the

girls hit the field for their first major game of the year.

It was a nervous start for the Scared Heart team as it was the first game

that they played as a team. The team’s motivation was lifted through

Kellock’s skills leading from the middle into the forward line kicking a

spectacular goal. The first quarter concluded 2 goals to 0 points Sacred

Heart’s way. The girls never held back as each person was remarkable

with their tackling and drive for the football, Millicent remained

scoreless. Murdoch showed off her powerful leg by taking a Millicent’s

girl to ground. A muddy pitch scared off Millicent leaving Murdoch

and Kellock a clear run straight through the midfield. A final score of

20 to 0 gave Sacred Heart a taste of victory, which fired up the girls

ready for the tough game ahead.

After a break between our games, we closely watched Thomas More

College seeing a strong side defeating Millicent by 7 goals. With a

strong warm up and a quick speech from the two Captains the girls

went out hungry for the footy. First quarter was very low scoring as

Thomas More College kicked 1 point to Sacred Heart 0. As the

intensity never fell the girls came right back kicking 2 goals and 6

points. At half time the team was leading by 17 points but it was

important for everyone to keep focus. Final words from the Captains

led the girls out fired up stronger than ever. The roar of the Sacred

Heart crowd helped the girls lift their game putting a show on for the

school. Leading by example Georgia Hunter showed some magical

skills weaving and dodging past the other team. Before the girls went

out for the last quarter, the girls were given yet another screeching

motivational speech from their captains to finish off the game strongly.

On the field the girls threw all that they had left at the ball to make

sure that Thomas More couldn’t get back in the game. When the final

siren went the cheer of Sacred Heart crowd roared as the girls were

victorious, winning 23 to 1.

2nd XVIII Football The 2nd XVIII have had an interesting and positive season thus far, with some mixed results throughout

the seven games played. The year started with a surprising loss to PAC, but since that unexpected

result, the boys have really improved as a group and started to play the type of football they are truly

capable of.

Strong wins have come against 1st XVIII sides Westminster, Pembroke and St Ignatius and the recent re-

match victory over PAC 2nd XVIII was just brilliant. It was clear after the loss to PAC in Round 1 that

the team wanted to make amends for their earlier disappointment. Their efforts and team performance

exhibited the strong school spirit and pride the boys have in playing for their College.

The team have had a strong spread of Year 11 and 12 students and strong individual performances have

come from Doug Proud, Will Sharp, John Noble, Zac Delmenico, Sam O’Grady, Pat Neal-Bullen, Darby

Campbell and Pat Kitschke.

Throughout 2014, it has been great to see promotion of boys into the 1st XVIII, as good form has been

rewarded with a spot in the top team. Pleasingly, we have had over 35 players represent the 2nd XVIII

already this year.

I look forward to Term 3 with exciting games against Rostrevor, Mercedes and PAC to end the season

on a high.

Mr Garreth Hutton

3rd XVIII Football The season began with a hard fought loss against a quality St. Michael’s 2nds team at home. A slow

start forced us to play from behind all day and eventually it took its toll, going down by 20 points but

with plenty of encouraging signs. Luke Songaila was outstanding along with Lachlan Woolford and

Remi North.

The boys didn’t have to wait long to taste victory for the first time as they thumped PAC 3rds by over

20 goals. Superb performances by Matt Campbell (4 goals), Charlie Lange, Songaila (3 goals), Cam

Rankin (2 goals) and many others led to a dominant display all over the field. George Kerin also kicked

4 goals.

A much more difficult matchup occurred the following week against a strong Immanuel 2nds team.

Perfect conditions should have meant a smooth, free flowing game, however it quickly became a dog

fight. Thankfully the boys were switched on throughout and managed a 63 to 47 victory. Adam Jackson

was excellent displaying clean skills while Matt Prout, Christian Vince and Jacob Alderdice stood up

when needed. Chris Gibbie starred up forward with three goals.

14 | P a g e

Extending the winning streak to three was the aim against St. Peters 2nds at home in wet and slippery

conditions. The heart and resolve of the team was tested throughout and they deservedly achieved their

goal with a narrow two goal win. Aziel Stuart had the ball on a string all day with Liam Thompson in

defence and Jock Mason’s fearless play leading from the front. Tom Howard kicked two goals in a low

scoring affair which was eventually won by a stronger midfield and defensive performance.

Sadly the good form came to a grinding halt with a heartbreaking loss to St. Michael’s 2nds in a highly

anticipated rematch of the season opener. The match began much the same way as the first battle, with

SHCS overcoming a slow start to lead at ¾ time by two goals. However, a devastating 10 minute spree

in the final term by St. Michaels (five goals to zero) snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The team

was enormously dejected after the match but determined to learn from it. Chris Gibbie again starred up

forward with five goals as North, Songaila and Jack Egerton also played well.

The next two matches were chalk and cheese. A 69 point loss to the Gavin Wanganeen-coached

Pulteney 1sts (Dylan Redden, Prout, Ricky Seal and Tom Holtham standing tall) followed by a

sensational 46-point win against St. Paul’s 1sts. In horrible conditions the heart and desire shown by the

20 players cannot be praised highly enough. John Noble was fearless throughout, with Jack McKay,

Cam Rankin and Matt Campbell starring as well. Chris Gibbie dominated up forward with another five

goal haul in an epic victory.

As a whole, the season so far has been successful at 4-3 with the team being in a winning position late in

all but one game. The impressive aspect of the 3rds has been the overall positive attitude and team-first

approach by all players, whether promoted from the 4ths or having come down from the 2nds, each

player has displayed a selfless desire to help the team succeed. Leaders have emerged throughout the

season (Liam Thompson, Rhys Arriola, Dylan Redden and Matt Prout among others) and it has been

especially pleasing to see so many young men earn promotion to the 2nds and play well there. The

overall team focus this season has been on process, not results. Key aspects include endeavour and

teamwork (e.g. shepherding) and the players have responded superbly to every challenge in upholding

these two principles. The collective group has proven to be a joy to coach and working with them has

been exceptionally rewarding so far. Here’s hoping for a successful end to the season.

Mr Josh Rouse

3rd XIII Football Coach

Year 10A Football Coming in to this season as brand new coaches, Kyran and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the

season. With an ever changing team we are yet to register a loss and the winning margins have been

quite substantial. The skill level and passion to play good football throughout all grades has made

selection very difficult, with a large number of players more than able to play at A grade level. It has

been pleasing to see the group become closer through pre-season to the present. The new boarders have

been especially impressive with a large number of them playing A grade football. Players (both day

15 | P a g e

students and boarders) that have missed out on a game in As have gone to the B grade with an

exceptional attitude and more often than not have worked their way back into the As team. I’m sure

this competitiveness for spots will continue for the rest of the season with Intercol coming up soon.

With a team that is winning by such large margins it is great to see that the boys are still very attentive

to instructions and take them on board. Playing in games where we have possession of the ball for large

percentages of time helps the players in refining smaller parts of their game and also lets us try new

things.

A special mention needs to go to the parents for their massive efforts in getting the boys to and from

trainings and games. A big thankyou also to the parents who have helped with goal umpiring and

supplying ice for the team after games. This is huge help for the coaches and does not go unnoticed. It is

a real pleasure to be coaching such an enthusiastic and talented team which can hopefully finish the

season with continued success.

Jack Redden

Year 10B Football Year 10 Football has faced many challenges this year across all grades, with injuries, boarder exits,

exams, ‘boys trips’ and other schools forfeiting all affecting us at some point. However, to the boys

credit we have had a very successful start to the season, with great wins against CBC (twice), PAC and

St Michael’s (A Grade), and close losses against Blackfriars and Pembroke. It’s hard for the boys to learn

how each other plays and to develop on field bonds when the teams have changed so much, but the

core group of 15-20 boys in each team has really created a strong environment, and hopefully the

success can continue into term 3, especially for Intercol.

The boys started training in early to mid-March, where we did a few solid running sessions leading into

the holidays to help get their fitness levels up to match day standards. A couple of trial games took

place late in term 1 and early in term 2, and from there the initial A Grade and B Grade squads were

chosen. From the start of pre-season to the start of official matches time has flown by, and it’s hard to

believe we are 2 games away from the end of the season already.

Without placing too much spotlight on individuals as a lot of our success has been when the entire team

has played well, core players such as Sanderson, Laube, O’Leary, Cain & Tim Reynolds, Terry, Horgan,

Whelan and Goodrich have been the driving force behind this B Grade side this year, with all of these

boys regularly featuring in the best players, attending 99% of training sessions, and generally doing

everything that is asked of them. I can see a lot of the boys in this team featuring in 1st and 2nd XVIII

Football in the coming years, with some still growing into their bodies yet showing some signs of great

talent and ability, which all comes back down to their desire to work hard and continually improve.

One thing that has let us down at times this year is pre match concentration and complacency, and a

prime example was playing CBC two weeks in a row. The first week we won by 15 goals, and the

second week 3 goals. The boys were a lot more light-hearted and lacklustre pre game and in the warm

16 | P a g e

up, and were lucky to escape with a win in the end. We spoke about the importance of turning up ready

to go, and thinking about what role you’re going to play for the team. Not only when you’re in the

rooms, but the night before, in the morning and on the way to the ground, as getting ‘switched on’

ironically can’t be done by flicking the switch.

I touched on this with the boys prior to the St Michael’s game, as playing a strong A Grade side, away

from home, in the worst of winter conditions isn’t easy to mentally prepare for. But from the moment

they started getting changed, there was a sense of something special about to happen. Their warm up

was impeccable, had a small lead at quarter time, and fought hard the whole day to earn a fantastic 4-

goal win. What was almost more pleasing than the win itself, was the fact we had 22 contributors with

every single player doing their part.

After that great victory, covered in mud with smiles from ear to ear, we gathered on the ground with

the parents surrounding for a post-game chat. We spoke about how wins like these are memories they

will look back on in years to come, 5, 10, 20 years down the track, and how moments like this are why

we play footy. Being able to look your best mates in the eye, signalling we gave our all for each other

today and got the job done, is a sensational feeling. I think it’s important for the boys to understand the

privilege of wearing the Sacred Heart jumper, and just how much it will mean to later in life even if

they don’t realize it right now. Some of the boys asked ‘can we sing the song on the oval like others

schools do to us?’, and as a 16 year old boy that is a very fair question! However, we spoke about the

importance of being modest in victory, regardless of what other schools do, and we sang the song as

loud as possible back in the rooms.

As holidays approach and with only 2 games left for the 2014 season, our biggest event of the year in

Intercol is only weeks away. The Sacred Heart v Rostrevor rivalry is one of the best parts of playing

sport in the college system, and they will be just as eager to beat us, as we are to get a win against them.

Playing out at Rostrevor is always a challenge, but I have the utmost faith in the boys that we will be

able to get the job done in a season of footy that has thrown everything at us, but one we can look back

on and marvel at just how much fun it all was.

A special mention to all of the parents for taking their sons to the games, goal umpiring, offering to help

where they can and supporting us from the boundary. Also to Sue, Daniel, Robert, Jack, Henry, Tom,

Darcy and everybody else involved in making this season a success, as without your efforts the boys

wouldn’t be able to play every week. Especially at home on the Main Oval, as Sue is there from the

crack of dawn organizing everything, and coordinating what I believe to be the best college football

oval in the state, if not the country.

If you can, please make the trip out to Rostrevor for a day which will hopefully be very successful for

the college. Thanks again for your support throughout the season, it is greatly appreciated.
