State Open Age Badminton Championships
Twenty Carramar St Stephen’s School students took part in the State Open Age Badminton Championships, Friday 16 June at Kingsway Badminton Centre. Congratulations to all who took part.
Special mention to Rajit Bose, Jak Van Den Bussche, Angelia Effendi and Ansu Soney, who made the quarter finals and Youstina Takla and Riya Shah, who made the semi finals. A fantastic effort!
Last week 30 students from Yr 9 ventured down to Dwellingup to participate in the inaugural Duke of Edinburgh camp. Students got the opportunity to put in to practice the skills they had been learning in Outdoor Education classes this semester. They got to cook their own meals using small fuel stokes, setting up tents and camping over night on the School’s Nanga property in between spending two days hiking on the Bibbulmun Track. Whilst we all got little wet through the night the weather during the day was perfect to enjoy the beauty of the Dwellingup jarrah forest.
With the last round of the qualifying stages being played this Thursday the Junior Boys Football team have had some mixed results. We started off our first round game with a great come from behind win against Joseph Banks only to lose the next four games at home. Facing Wanneroo Secondary College’s second side, the team was looking for a stronger performance after a poor showing against Irene McCormack the week before. The first minute set the tone of the game with a strong forward entry and a couple of near misses before finally scoring a goal. The remainder of the game was a one way street with the final score of 10.14 – 74 to 0 a reflection of our dominance across the ground.
This week sees our last game on Thursday against Butler away. Many thanks to all of the parents who have come down and supported the boys through out the competition.
The Joondalup Wolves will debut a St Stephen’s School student with a famous basketball name when the side faces East Perth in the State Basketball League on Saturday 17 June.
At 16, Daniel Vlahov, who is a relative of Perth wildcats great Andrew Vlahov, will be one of the youngest debutants in recent seasons. Daniel impressed coaching staff who invited the shooting guard to train with the senior squad at the end of last year.
Joondalup coach, Ben Ettridge said the St Stephen’s School student, who has been with the Wanneroo Basketball Association since childhood, had made the most of his opportunities in pre-season training and practise. “As a lightening quick, sharp shooting point guard, we gave him the appropriate time and opportunity to focus on his under 18 WA state commitments this year.” Daniel’s Division 1 performance under Coach Doug Gates have culminated in his promotion to the senior squad.
Wolves chief executive, Cameron Britt said Vlahov’s achievement to “break into this star-studded Wolves line-up at 16 years of age, speaks volumes for both his ability and his attitude”.
Daniel will also represent WA in the 2017 under 18’s Basketball team, competing in the Canberra National Championships, 11 – 18 August.
On Thursday 25th May, approximately 50 girls, from years 7-12 took part in the Champion Schools netball carnival. The girls played between 3 – 5 games, which were 20 minutes long.
The girls did an outstanding job in representing St Stephen’s School, Carramar and should be proud with their results. All teams came away with a few wins against some quality opponents.
Special congratulations go to the year 7’s who won 4 out of 5 games and the year 11’s who won 3 out of 4 games. Well done girls!
