Year 5/6 Netball Gala Day

The Netball ACT Year 5/6 Gala Day was held on Thursday 20 June at Lyneham. Braving the cold conditions, 24 netball players took to the courts to compete against schools from around the region. The teams played with enthusiasm, showing great camaraderie on and off the court.

Well done to the Radford Ospreys, Eagles and Falcons for their fantastic efforts on the day! We look forward to seeing these teams back in action after the holidays as Radford Netball teams continue with the second half of the North Canberra Netball Competition.

Sporting Achievements

The majority of SSACT trials are conducted after school hours, however if the trial does take place during the school day, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to notify the College of their child’s absence.

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 is 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 here.

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.
