Under 15's Boys Touch Football 

On Sunday, 3 August 2025, our ACW U15 Boys Touch Football Team took to the fields in Toowoomba for the South West Swans Secondary All Schools Touch Football Carnival.

Despite the chilly conditions, the boys put on a strong performance, securing 3 wins out of 5 games! These victories were driven by standout efforts from Jack Burton and Cooper Locke. 

This carnival is a fantastic lead-up to the Queensland All Schools competition on the Gold Coast in Term 4. Well done, team – we’re proud of your efforts and can’t wait to see what’s next!

10-12 Years QLD State Football Championships

Year 7 student Xavier Fox has made a remarkable impact at the 10 – 12 Years Queensland State Football Championships held in Brisbane recently.

Representing Darling Downs as their goalkeeper, Xavier helped his team secure 4th place overall and take out the Country Cup during the four-day tournament. 

Tournament Highlights:

• Player of the Match: Xavier earned this honor in the final game against Sunshine Coast.
• Defensive Excellence: Darling Downs conceded only 8 goals across 8 games, showcasing a solid defensive performance with Xavier anchoring the backline.

This achievement not only reflects Xavier’s talent and dedication but also highlights the strength of regional football development in Queensland. Congratulations Xavier!

School Hockey Competition

This term, a dedicated group of our college students proudly represented the College in the Warwick Secondary Schools Hockey Competition, hosted by the Warwick Hockey Association.

Throughout this competition, the team demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, determination, and teamwork. Their hard work paid off as they secured an impressive third place in a highly competitive field.

What made this team truly special was its inclusivity—bringing together students from all year levels to form a united and supportive group. Their commitment to both learning and leadership has been inspiring, and they are a true credit to our College community.

Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic achievement!
