Term 3 Sport 

The fast-paced season of Terrace Term 3 sport has concluded for another year. The term has delivered solid participation numbers with 453 students participating in Basketball and 712 in Rugby.

I would like to thank everyone involved in Terrace Sport this term. Thank you to the boys for their commitment to their teams, the parents for continuing to allow their sons to participate in Terrace Sport and the coaches with their caring attitude to help, guide and teach the Terrace men to gain life lessons through playing team sports. 

Mr Tyron Mandrusiak has done a great job running the Rugby program with a competitive showing across the age groups, with all boys enjoying the rugby experience. The Basketball program has continued to grow off the back of the hard work of many people. It has been an excellent season from a performance perspective across each age group and the 1st V who finished with a shared premiership. Congratulations to Mitchell Wright (Captain) and his team and Mr Matt Hamilton- Smith (Head Coach) and his staff on an excellent season on and off the court. Many thanks to Mr Tom O’Malley in his first year coordinating this program and Mr Sam Mackinnon who has coordinated the program for the last five years and is now working with the Brisbane Bullets as an assistant coach. 

During the holidays, Track and Field will be concluding their preseason preparation for the GPS Carnival in Week 4 of next term. I would encourage all students who have finished Term 3 sport to get involved and be a part of the Track and Field program to improve their physical components and represent the College. 

Finally, I would like to acknowledge all Year 12 Basketball and Rugby boys and thank them for their efforts over the years playing their respective sports at Terrace. These young men have represented the College, some since 2011. The Terrace Community is very proud of you, and in your final year at Terrace, we want to thank you for pulling on the Red & Black for the last time.

Parent Lounge

Participation in the school Sport program is outstanding and will continue to be so due to the quality of the programming that allows for all levels of participation and quality of coaching across individual sports.  The flow of communication is extremely important in keeping everybody informed. It is vital to ensure sure you sign on electronically via Parent Lounge for in-season and preseason activities offered each term. 

Attendance at training

I would ask that all boys commit to their attendance at training during the week and present ready for their games/lead up meets, home or away. Representing the College is something to be valued. Being a team member who can be depended on entails sacrifice and commitment, no matter the level or activity.

Uniform

Please be aware that all Directors, Coordinators and Coaches have been asked to monitor training and playing uniform.  We want to represent the College and ourselves, both on and off the field with the highest standards. 

Communication

To remain up to date, please download the College App and select to receive notifications for your son's selected activities. You will find updates, training schedules, team lists, playing schedules, game/meet locations and further information under the individual sport. 

Please note we are moving away from ongoing email communication, with the College App as the main source of communication.

Have a great Term 4 in Terrace Sport.
