Caleb Allanson, Daniel Croft & Ash Jans Sale College Academy of Badminton After six weeks of tryouts and training Sale College had four teams to compete at the Wellington District Badminton Competition, which was held at Yarram Secondary College on Wednesday. Cody Lee, Jack Love, Jordan Griffioen and JJ Hanley made up the Year 8 boys team and finished 2nd (out of 6 teams) for the day, narrowly losing to Yarram Secondary College. Michael O'dea, Alex Peters, Marc Jordan Gonzales and Tayde Molden won the Year 7 boys competition and progress to the next stage. The Year 7 and 8 girls teams were ready to go but unfortunately there was no other teams willing to play against them so they automatically progress to the next stage of competition. Go SCAB!

Junior Netball

On Wednesday 12th of June, a group of Year 7 girls represented the College at the Wellington Netball tournament. The team were very successful and finished 2nd on the ladder at the conclusion of the tournament with three wins, a draw and a loss. With each game played, the girls improved on their netball and teamwork skills. It was a privilege to see the development of the entire team throughout the tournament. The girls should be proud of themselves for representing the college to a high standard and demonstrating the school values in the community. Congratulations to all team members: Lily Aho, Madeline Gilmour, Alana Hall-Speight, Jesiah Ropeti, Maddison Roscoe, Chloe Scott, Julia Spence and Kira Stirling.

Junior Soccer

Sale College Year 7 and 8 boys had the opportunity of representing the school in the Wellington Level Soccer competition. Throughout the day the Year 7 team built confidence and great team work to pull through with 3 wins out of the 4 games. Year 8 team had 2 hard grilling games that took them to the last game with energy levels depleting rapidly and ending short for a pass into the next stage. Both teams should be congratulated on their hard work and determination on the day. Big congratulations should be passed on to Kobe Schoenmaekers, and Bailey Harrison for most improved players on the day.

Senior Girls Netball

Senior Girls Netball on Wednesday was a successful event for Sale College. We took along 11 girls, and despite the large team, all girls contributed to both of our victories. The girls faced Maffra Secondary College in the first game and then played SEDA in the second game, winning both convincingly (SC 13 def MSC 3, SC 11 def SEDA 5). Key shooters were Rebekah, Mia, Shadai and Ellie, Mid court was made up of Emily, Ambah, Keeley and Mollie, Defenders were Bree, Tiffany, Rebekah and Ellie, and Isobel worked hard both in centre and defence. A credit to all these players for stepping into different positions where needed, and working together to achieve a positive result!

Intermediate Girls Netball

After a last minute recruitment of some champion Year 8 students, and a promotion to Section A, the Intermediate Girls began the day with a tough game against Catholic College. Across the game, and throughout the other four matches played on the day, the girls steadily improved their skills and flow down the court. All players happily tried out new positions and took turns scoring for the team. Although no wins were achieved, all players are to be commended for their outstanding sportsmanship, team work and respect shown towards the umpires, opposition and each other. Congratulations to all players for a fun day, we will be a force to be reckoned with next year!

Intermediate Boys Netball

The Intermediate Boys Netball team had a great start to the day with a 12 point win over Maffra SC, unfortunately we lost our form in the second game against Traralgon going down by around 6 points. We finished off the day with a nail bitter against Lavalla CC which we lost by 1 point. I congratulate the boys on their sportsmanship, behaviour and effort on the day.

Intermediate Soccer

On a very chilly 29th of May we headed to the Sale United Football Club with our Intermediate Girls and Boys teams. Due to Kurnai College girls team being a no show, our girls have advanced straight through to the next round, where we wish them the best of luck. Our boys may not have had success on the score board going down to Catholic College Sale 1-0, Kurnai 0-0 and Lavella 3-0, they should however be commended for their sportsmanship and teamwork which was first class. Great leadership was shown by Jordan Misseos, Jayson Jorgenson and Jacob Mayne who captained our games. Playing one man down, against some tough competition our boys held their own and should be proud of their efforts.

CFA Awareness

Year 12 VCAL students completed a fundraiser to assist the Sale CFA. A major aim was also to raise awareness of the role of the CFA. Sale of hot dogs and gold coin donation from students raised $300 to assist purchase of equipment. Thanks to Sale CFA for attending school with the tanker and allowing students to learn how to use the hoses. Significant interest in the role of the CFA was evident.

VCE Outdoor and Environmental Studies

Click here to see more photos taken during the recent Outdoor Education Camps.

It has been a busy few weeks for the VCE Outdoor and Environmental Studies classes. Year 11 class spent two days canoeing Lake Tyers, investigating impacts on outdoor environments. The class looked at how they can reduce their impact on environments and what affects their access to these.

The Year 12 class went to Phillip Island for three days to study contemporary relationships with outdoor environments. The camp was jam packed full of study visits and activities including kayaking, ranger talks, cycling and of course the penguin parade. Students also learnt about green building design.

The classes would like to thank all the staff that could make these great experiences happen and are looking forward to their next camp.

Year 7 Bug Blitz

You can see more photos of the Year 7 Bug Blitz in the web gallery here

On Monday and Tuesday, all Year Seven students travelled to the Heart Morass in Sale for our annual Bug Blitz fieldwork excursion. The site boasts 1349 hectares of rehabilitated and restored Australian wetlands, providing habitat to many endemic species of plants and animals. The theme for Bug Blitz this year was "Fish 'n' Trips", the focus of which was to learn about how aquatic ecosystems are affected by human activity and introduced species.

It was a fantastic two days for all involved and provided students with some real-world insight into working as an environmental scientist.

Gippsland Swimming Carnival

Congratulations to Tyler Griffioen on following up his first place at the Gippsland Swimming Carnival with a 7th in the under 17s Breast stroke at the State Swimming Championships. An amazing achievement and great representation of the school at such an elite level.

Intermediate Girls Footy

On Tuesday our Intermediate Girls went out to represent the school in AFL at the College ovals. They played with pride and each player put in a terrific effort, displaying great competition against Lavalla. Due to immunisations on the day our Year 10 students were bumped up to our senior team to play at a later date, we were very impressed with our Year 8 students who stepped up to fill their place. The girls faced some tough competition and unfortunately did not get the win, although the teams attitude and positivity throughout the match was second to none. The bests for the day were Hollie Ryan, Kirrily Bruce, Bree Watkins and Monique Farrugia. Great effort girls.

ANZAC Day

It was with pride, both as an Australian citizen and the Principal of Sale College that I attended the ANZAC ceremony at the Memorial Hall yesterday. Sale College was represented by our Macalister Campus Leaders; Rebekah Hector, Riley Fahy, Brendon Swarbrick and Abi Cordell, who lay the wreath on behalf of our community. There were also numerous students representing a variety of groups from Scouts to Cadets. Earlier in the week each Campus held their own commemorations for ANZAC day to reflect the values of Respect, Achievement and Belonging. These values are equally applicable to the ANZACs as they are to our own Sale College community.

The Macalister Campus marked ANZAC day with a service at assembly. Thank you to Mr. Martin Tanzer from the Sale RSL who came in to speak with our students about ANZAC day and the services that people have given for our country. Thank you also to Tilly Korbman who came back to school to contribute to this assembly by playing the Last Post and to Maddi Norwood who performed the National Anthem.

At the conclusion of the ANZAC assembly, the College Captains, together with Mr Tanzer, lay a commemorative wreath at the base of our flag pole.

Congratulations Rebekah

Congratulations to our College Captain, Rebekah Hector who received the Jack McMillan Memorial Award for youth leadership. Apart from receiving her medal from Darren Chester, Rebekah also read the ANZAC Requiem at the 11:00am service. Rebekah is not only one of our College Captains but she is also the Wellington Shire Youth Mayor and a Netball Umpire. Rebekah has a supervisory role in her part time job at Aussie Disposals, and also works at the Criterion Hotel.
Rebekah's roles beyond the school gate are many and varied and she puts her heart in to all of them. She was a worthy winner of this award.
