Last Thursday the 15th October, 24 students were chosen to represent St Emilie’s in the School Sports WA Basketball Slam Series. The All Stars girls coached by Mr Stuart Munro, walked away as overall champions humbly winning every single game for the day! The All Stars will now play in the Championship Cup at Bendat Basketball Centre on November 25^th (more information to come). The second girls team (coached by Miss Louise Corkhill) and boys team (coached by Liam – Azari’s cousin) also played exceptionally well gaining confidence and momentum with every game they played together.

Overall, the spirit and sportsmanship demonstrated by St Emilie was unrivalled. Our wonderful students played every game with a positive attitude and tried their absolute best. I would like to thank the coaches for their patience and guidance. I would also like to give a special mention to the parents who took the day to support St Emilie’s and assisted with scoring throughout the day. Bring on the Championship Cup!

The Inter-School Athletics Carnival took place on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

On Tuesday we were greeted with blazing sunshine and perfect conditions for our children to compete in the 400m, Long Jump, Turbo Javelin and Shot Put events.

St.Emilie’s began the carnival brilliantly by dominating the 400m events as well as some very strong performances in the Jumps and Throws.

At the half way mark of the carnival, St.Emilie’s were placed in second position, very narrowly behind St.Joseph’s.

Day Two of the carnival was Thursday.

We were greeted with contrasting conditions. Wet, wild and windy conditions ensured the running events and team games would be very hard work for all competitors.

Once again, St.Emilie’s students performed consistently well throughout the day across all events. Our team game performances were a highlight, with over 350 of our points coming from these events.

We also had 3 of our students rewarded with medals for their own individual performances throughout the carnival.

Amy P in year 6, Louis H in year 5 and Sophie A in year 4 were recognised for their outstanding efforts.

St.Emilie’s finished the carnival in 2nd position. We are very proud of the effort from all of our team members and we continue to lead the way with the sportsmanship and attitude that we display.

A very big thank you to all the staff that assisted on the day and to the parents who braved the conditions to give us your support.

The final scores are listed below:

1st – St.Joseph’s 1937

2nd – St.Emilie’s 1659

3rd – Sacred Heart 1391

4th – Xavier 1363

5th – Notre Dame 1315

6th – St.MUnchin’s 1279

Last Friday, St.Emilie’s entered two boys teams and a girls team into the Lakeside Basketball Slam Series.

The competition was divided into 4 pools. Each team played in Three qualifying games, with the top placed side in each pool to advance to the semi-finals and then the grand final.

Our Girls team began with a draw, followed by 2 convincing wins- taking them directly to the semi-finals. Once again, the girls put in a dominant performance to advance to the grand final.

After a low scoring and tough first half, the girls eventually ran away with a grand final victory after defeating Willetton Primary School.

Our two boys teams were placed in separate pools.

Our A team went through the qualifying rounds unbeaten, with some terrific basketball and some big wins!

They then won their semi final in convincing fashion to make the grand final.

The final was a very physical contest and our boys went into half time with scores level. After digging deep in the second half, our boys eventually pulled away to claim victory, winning by 6 points.

Our B team had a mixed day. They had an excellent win, but also suffered a number of close losses. Unfortunately they missed out on the semi-finals.

Overall it was a hugely successful day for St.Emilie’s, winning both the boys and the girls competition. These teams have now qualified for the State Championships to be held at Bendat Stadium on November 21.

A huge thank you to Mr. Mckie, Mr Carroll, Mr Cottrell and all the parents who turned up to cheer and provide support.
