College Sport
College carnivals, representative sport trials and state-wide competitions resulted in an action-packed term of sport for students at Bishop Tyrrell.
The College Swimming and Cross-Country Carnivals were once again a wonderful celebration of College spirit and community. The carnivals saw students from K-12 engage in competition against their peers, cheered on passionately by their team-mates in Currey, Fletcher, Darcy and Thomas House. The carnivals provided opportunities for our three schools to come together. Students from Year 9 and 10 PASS were on hand to support our K-6 students at their swimming carnivals. The care, support and encouragement shown by their older peers played an enormous role in making these events a memorable and engaging one for all. The swimming carnivals were a celebration of colour, House chants and increased participation. Led by the Year 12 cohort, their energy filtering down to our youngest competitors in Junior School, races were filled with students proudly representing their House. This leadership was most evident in the House Chant Competition at the
7-12 Carnival. Spine-tingling, inspiring and creating an enormous sense of belonging, students sung their hearts out in unity, with Mrs Curran-Peters having the unenviable task of selecting the winner. Thomas House were awarded Champions for 2024, with their articulation, creativity and passion edging out their competitors. The Cross Country Carnival was held at Blue Gum Hills Regional Park in Week 8. The sun was shining and the beautiful location allowed for a terrific day of competition. Cross country running is an event that fosters mental and physical resilience, with the battle between mind and body a constant throughout. Cheered on by peers, staff and spectators, students completed the 2,3,4 and 6km courses with grit and determination. A highlight was the Kindergarten students running with their Year 5 buddies. With smiles on their faces and energy to burn, our littlest runners flew off the start line with their older buddies doing all they could to simply keep up. It was a heartwarming moment enjoyed by all.
