Capalaba sc website

The beginning of the term saw the conclusion of the Capalaba Cup tournament.  This tournament was won by the Johnstone Jaguars in a very competitive grand final game!  The conclusion of the tournament also drew the attention of professional basketballers from the Logan Thunder Basketball Team, who came in to showcase their skills and judge the annual Capalaba ‘Dunk Comp’.  From this tournament an All Stars team was announced and these students attempted to match their skills with our talented teachers.  Unfortunately, the teachers took out this game however a rematch will be played in a couple of weeks with the highly anticipated teachers versus year 12 game.  

After outstanding results at the Intermediate Schools Cup tournament the High Performing Volleyball students excelled in the Senior Schools Cup in the beginning of August.  Congratulations to the Year 9 girls who entered ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­the Year 11 Division Two competition and won the gold medal.  The Open Girls team also performed outstandingly, winning the bronze medal in their division. 

The Year 7, 8 and 9 Volleyball teams have also been rewarded for their hard work during training sessions, becoming the Bayside District Champions who will compete at the Metropolitan Finals against greater Brisbane teams in the coming weeks.   The Year 6, 7 and 8 Volleyball teams are also continuing their training sessions, preparing for the upcoming Junior Schools Cup in October.
