Our Secondary students shone at the ACC Senior Netball Championship Carnival last week, with both Carramar and Duncraig sending a squad. When neither team made it to the finals, they united to play a fun ‘friendly’ match. What a great display of teamwork from our students!

Ready for an action-packed competition, secondary students were keen to participate in the SunSmart School Surfing Titles on Tuesday. Tackling tricky conditions the boys put up a great fight, with two teams making it to the Semi Finals before unfortunately being knocked out.
Senior Boys Basketball Team have capped off a successful season with the announcement that they are the overall CAS winners for 2020! The boys will now play in the ACC knockout rounds, playing against the top schools from across WA for the Championship title. The first game is this Wednesday at 4pm in the Duncraig Gym so be sure to come along and cheer them on.
This year, our school entered our first Secondary Interschool Numero Challenge. Numero is a mathematics card game that involves mental arithmetic and fun! Our school entered 16 people with a total of four teams from Years 7-10. Some of these students had played Numero before but for many of them, they had only played Numero for 4 weeks or even less! The North Heats were held at St Stephen’s School, Carramar and our students had a lot of fun. There were individual and team challenges, some of which our teams placed in the top three for these events.
One of our teams placed 4th in the North Heats and were invited to attend the Grand Final the following week. The team consisting of: Josh Craig, Alyssa Hardingham, Ben Lyon and Thomas McIntyre were very excited to be competing in the Grand Final for their first ever Numero competition! We were up against schools from the north and south heats and some of these schools had won the Numero competition numerous times. Our students competed very well and finished in 8th place out of twelve schools.
After eight long years without a Carnival victory, Alethea have been crowned the winners of the Duncraig Secondary Interhouse Athletics Carnival! Congratulations to all our students and staff for their extraordinary efforts on and off the track.
