He top scored for Queensland against NT and received an overall best fielder award. Within a matter of weeks Blake had won silver and gold medals for Australian U12 Schoolboy Golf and U12 Schoolboy Cricket respectively. Congratulations Blake!

Congratulations to Burkett House who are Secondary School Swimming Champions for 2013. Their participation rate was immense as nearly the entire House participated in nearly every event.

Jordan has had a super impressive 6 months. He has also done a fair bit of travelling to compete in some special events.

He also got a silver in the 4 x 100 relay and a bronze in the Swedish relay. He then unfortunatley picked up an injury but still managed to make the 100m National final in Perth in March and just recently made the semi finals of the prestigious Stawell Gift. His overall ranking in sprinting has shot up dramatically. Congratulations Jordan on your super achievements.

Week 9, Term 1 - 2013
Max Osborn - Swimming
Max typifies dedication, commitment and 'never give up attitude' and this is certainly getting him places. He is Queensland Club 13 years 400m and 800m Champion. He then backed this up with a gold in the 400m Freetyle at Qld Schools Champs in March and is setting new Personal Best's seemingly every week at the moment. His goal is the 1500m and the next few years will see him working towards this. Congratulations Max.
