AFL Gala Day (Boys)
Congratulations to the Senior and Junior boys who competed last Thursday in the annual Streetsmart AFLQ gala day at Highfields.
Both teams had fantastic days with our Senior team going down in the Semi Final to Toowoomba Grammar and our Junior team coming away victorious in the grand finale against St Joseph’s.
Milton Reid was also awarded the MVP for the day, after a fantastic tournament. Well done Milton!
QCIS Cross Country
On Tuesday our QCIS Cross Country team compete at SCOTS in Warwick. It was a fantastic day, despite the cold weather and our runners performed very well on the day. We claimed first place in the 10 years girls, 15 years boys, 16 years boys and open boys age groups. However, it was the effort from every team member that saw all other age groups finish in the top 4, including six 2nd place finishes, and the 91AV team claim both the percentage championship and for the first time ever, the overall championship. A tremendous result for our little college who continues to punch well above its weight.
SSC Track & Field Carnival
A reminder our Track & Field carnival is fast approaching (Wednesday Week 7 – 29/05). In the lead up to the carnival we will host the following pre carnival events.
1. 1500m – Wednesday Week 6 during SPARC
2. 3000m – Monday Week 7 Lunchtime
Please note this year there will be no pre-nomination for events. Students will be able to nominate on the day, at the event using their competitor number, which will be given to them on the morning of the carnival.
Track & Field training will also commence very soon and a notice will be put out about the dates and times of this training, once it is finalised.
Special Mentions
Last weekend, our very own Harry Allsop Harry placed 2nd in his age division (15 to 17 yrs) in the Toowoomba Half Marathon. Harry’s finishing time would have also placed him second in the next age grouping (18 to 20 yrs). Overall, Harry was placed 29th out of around 400 male runners in his event. The Toowoomba course is known to be incredibly challenging due to the inclines, so this is a tremendous effort and we are very proud of Harry’s achievement. We wish him the best of luck for his upcoming title races.
Upcoming Sport Opportunities
There are numerous Darling Downs trials happening across a variety of sports. If you would like to try out for one of these or need more information, please keep an eye on the notices or send Mr Biscoe an email Joshua.biscoe@concordia.qld.edu.au

Boarding
Boarding News
Greetings to all our Boarding families
You may be wondering what happened last week when there was no Boarding letter.
Well, the short of it is, we love keeping you all updated with the happenings in boarding on a weekly basis but there are times we are bordering on repeating the same message. We know you all love viewing the photo gallery and we will continue to take the photos and post them every second week. If you would like us to continue with our newsletter on a weekly basis, please feel free to let us know.
Upcoming events
National Boarding Week will commence on Monday 13th May and will run until Friday 17th May.
During the week we will be celebrating and congratulating our boarding students by sharing a special dinner with our Senior Leadership team and Heads Of Department. We are looking forward to having a special guest who is an Alumni. There will be many memories and comparisons shared. Our Girls Boarder Captain, Kerri Stiller, will speak about her time here at 91AV and acknowledge her family history with the college.
If you yourself are an Alumni and would like to share any photos of your time in boarding, please feel free to take a picture of them and either text them to me at 0490890917 or if you have lots, email maureen.taurima@concordia.qld.edu. I look forward to sharing photos of our event with you all next week.
We are nearly halfway through the term, and all students are keeping busy with assessments and sporting events.
That’s all for this week.
Enjoy the photos.
