Joining the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Nick Gibbon and Campbell Snookes have reigned supreme in the inaugural Year 12 Pickleball Championships. With 13 teams battling it out over week 5 in the new Multi Purpose Centre, the last 2 remaining pairs fought in the all-important final played in front of the entire Year 12 cohort. With a full stadium, Kynan Bond and Sam Woolard, the eventual runners-up, put on a desperate fight, bringing Snookes and Gibbon to a final deciding set. The winners walked away with a Saint Ignatius College scarf and will receive the Pickleball shield …when it arrives.
These Pickleball Championships are just one of the many student led initiatives around the school in recent times. With the unfortunate cancellation of the TRIUMPH Festival, (a fundraiser music festival with the combined Catholic Colleges around the Geelong region), Saint Ignatius College is holding a Triumph-Lite Festival instead on September 9th, 2022. Students are looking forward to this day that will be full of music and fun, with all funds raised going to supporting education scholarships in East Timor.
Thursday August 24 was our casual day for ‘Share the Dignity Campaign.’ Students were encouraged to wear a splash of pink to show support for disadvantaged women in our wider community. Along with a gold coin donation, students also ran a BBQ to raise extra money for the cause.
From a Year 12 perspective, we are all nearing the finish line. Final assessments are being completed, and for those doing VCE, our exam period will start at the end of October with the English exam. We are all extremely excited (some are a little nervous) about the exams coming up, but on November 25, we have our valedictory dinner and look forward to celebrating together knowing we will have officially graduated from Saint Ignatius College Geelong.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy end to Term 3,
Bring on the holidays! (is it too early to say that?)
