Combined college band tour

Here is a group shot from the recent College Band tour to Queensland. 40 students from Years 7 - 11 across all the Northern Beaches Secondary College Campuses (Manly Selective, Freshwater, Cromer, Balgowlah and Mackellar) were away for 4 days and played at Sea World and several local schools. Band Leader is Jennifer Lewis. Manly Selective band members are Ella Hurt (Year 7), Chris Mackay and Nathan Walsh (Year 8) and Elizabeth Hayman (Year 10).

Basketball

A group of year seven girls are making waves on the local basketball scene winning matches against much bigger teams in the Manly Warringah Basketball Association Monday night competition. Calling themselves The Waves the girls helped put together the team and have so far won two matches and lost three.

Two of the girls, Heather and Vicky, have never played before but are quickly getting skilled up, Bronte is using her considerable netball skills to great effect in the game, Sian and Rachel are fast movers are everywhere on the court and very valuable, Adelaide is Miss Stretchable with the longest arms and legs and Felicity and Ellen are borrowed from Mackellar Girls and we are deeply grateful to have them.

The girls train on a Friday afternoon and play at Warriewood on a Monday afternoon. Contact Team Manager Kathryn Welling

Rugby League

Manly Campus had a fantastic year, in both the U15's and open divisions of the Manly Warringah Schools Competition. The year was capped by a dominant win by the U15's in their pool final over Mosman 30- 20 at Brookvale oval last Monday. They led by 10 points at half time before skipping out to a 22 point lead mid-way through the second half. Joel Hayden was awarded man of the match and his efforts were matched by Danny Noonan, Blake Nelson and Tom Pettit. Pettit's kicking game was flawless. The boys executed the game plan magnificently - a great team effort.

The Open team fought valiantly in a very tight and entertaining tussle to eventually finish second to Pittwater High, in a score that flattered the northern team (26-16). Jack Rozycki completed an impressive year with another barnstorming performance. Steven O'Hagan made a brilliant come back from injury and thrilled the crowd with an acrobatic display - a mundinesque cartwheel front flip combo. Both teams have surprised observers with free running displays and, at times, some bruising defence. Well done boys! Contact Helen Earl
