Calliope State School’s Wide World of Sport
Last week, Calliope SS students had a big week of sport and sporting achievements.
On Wednesday afternoon our Mixed Touch team played off with St Johns in the Port Curtis Interschool touch final. Calliope students played hard and kept the score mark close. It was a great game and Calliope came away with runners up in the comp.
On Friday we were fortunate enough to take away three teams to compete at the Benaraby Touch Competition. Our Calliope 1 Girls’ team got into the finals and played off against their nemesis St Johns. The girls played hard, but unfortunately came runners up.
The Calliope 2 Girls’ Team played off for third place against Kin Kora SS. Their game came down to a very exciting 3/3 drop off with a quick try in the corner from Holly to secure third place in the carnival.
The Calliope Mixed team also played off for third place against Clinton and beat them 2-0. It was great to see the upcoming stars in our Year 5s. Watch out next year St Johns!
A great effort was put in by all students. Thank you to Mrs Maycock and the amazing parents who helped out and supported our students on the day!
The biggest win of all is that Calliope won the Sportsmanship Trophy. This is a very proud achievement by all, and shows our students level of respect in representing themselves and our school at these carnivals.
Congratulations Calliope!
