Zone Swimming Carnival

In the week following, our swimming competitors headed to Nowra to compete in the Zone Swimming Carnival. A huge congratulations to all our students for their performance on this day. Calderwood Christian School won the Inaugural Wainwright Shield, which means CCS has the highest average points per person based on student population out of all the schools competing. This was a great achievement for our students, in addition, we had the highest number of students qualify for State Swimming in the past 10 years.

A special commendation to Isaac O, the 14 years Age Champion, and Joel M, the 17 years Age Champion. 

School Cross Country Carnival

Calderwood students had a great day at Kembla Joggers, participating in the School Cross Country Carnival. We were blessed with great weather, and the muddy track didn’t deter students as they ran and with their best efforts. There was also a lot of fun as students could play Nine 9 and cheer on their friends as they ran. Thank you to P& F, who provided the sausage sizzle. 

Congratulations to Yallah, who again won the day.  Our top four runners from each age group will head to Nowra next term to compete in Zone Cross Country. 

The Age Champions included:

• 12 years: Roman B
• 13 years: Ella P and Zac H
• 14 years: Anna B and Oscar W
• 15 years: Malika C and Kim A
• 16 years: Ava P and Elijah B
• 17 years: Hannah K and Joel M
• 18 years: Oliver D

Students have also been trialling and training for some teams in anticipation of the many Gala Days and competitions we will participate in next term. This includes soccer, netball and volleyball.
