Sports Report Term 1, Week 10

ACT School Futsal Titles – Week 9 Results

Week 9 saw the Year 9 and 10 and Year 4 ACT School Futsal Titles. The Year 9 and 10 boys were unlucky to miss out on finals in a tough pool with only 5 players, and the Year 9 and 10 girls were also unlucky to be defeated in the quarter finals, playing some stylish Futsal throughout the day.

With over 20 teams in the Year 4 girls' tournament, the girls blitzed the group stage but unfortunately went down 1–0 in a tough semi-final. The Year 4 Boys tournament had over 50 teams and after being undefeated in four group games, proceeding through a nail-biting penalty shoot-out in the quarter finals and a comfortable win in the semi-final, the boys were crowned Champions after another penalty shoot-out in the grand final. Most importantly the students should be commended on their behaviour and sporting ethics displayed throughout the day.

The Year 4 boys join the Year 8 boys in qualifying for the National tournament to be held in Brisbane in November.

SSACT Scholarship Fund

The SSACT Scholarship Fund is once again open and available for students who have been selected in a SSACT representative team and are required to travel interstate to compete at the respective School Sport Australia National Championships.

More information on the Scholarship Fund and its consideration criteria, can be found within the Resources section of the SSACT website.

Successful applicants will receive a $500 deduction from their team fees during the payment phase of the team preparation process. The approval process can be quite quick once the student is selected and one of the criteria is deemed as a 'Circumstantial Hardship' e.g. multiple children from the same family making teams in a close timeframe.

Scholarship applications are to be submitted to eo@schoolsportact.org.au
