With the first competitive sports season complete, it is a pleasure to reflect back on all of the incredible successes our athletes experienced - both on and off the pitch and court. They showed incredible personal growth, and I am incredibly proud to have been a part of their journey.

TK had two 9U soccer teams that showed great teamwork. Their collaboration resulted in some wins and although they didn't make it to the top ranking, they put all their effort last Saturday at the ACSIS finals. From beginning to end, our players showed strong commitment at each match.

This season, our 11U basketball girls team welcomed a few new players. In the face of challenges, they demonstrated unity and focus, and most importantly enjoyed playing basketball every game.

Congratulations to Mr Jamie Yorke’s 11U boys basketball team that came very close to winning the bronze medal in the ACSIS finals. They ended in the season in fourth place, but finished first in determination and grit!

Ms Sarah Cole’s 12U girls badminton team had an impressive season. They won quite several games and ranked in sixth position within their team classification. The 12U badminton boys team showed strong commitment during the season and really improved their athletic techniques. Well done!

This has been a fabulous season for the 12U girls netball team. They demonstrated strength and determination against very strong teams and won several important matches. The girls collaborated with great team spirit and effort.

I was glad to watch the cross-country finals for the first time. Our athletes from grade 2 to grade 5 participated in a long distance run and all TK students completed the race course with pride.

Thank you to students for their commitment, coaches for their dedication and many enthusiastic parents who have come out to support our players at different events between international schools.

Congratulations to all!
