JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Term 4, Week 1

Congratulations to all of our Term 3 MISA teams on your efforts this term. JTCC had five teams in contention for the MISA premierships, read below for the Finals match reviews.

9/10 REC Sport Rotations update - Students have now begun the next cycle of rotations with their respective sport groups which will run from Term 3 Week 9 to Term 4 Week 2. A reminder that as summer uniform is now permitted to be worn, students will be required to wear hats for outdoor activities, along with our existing uniform policy of no black socks, no anklet socks and the John Therry sport shorts and shirt.

Illness/Injury:
It has come to our attention that a number of students are presenting to Sports Detention with notes from home claiming illness or injury. Unfortunately, some of these notes have proven to be forged or falsified. This is a serious matter. 

Students who regularly submit notes to avoid participation may be required to provide a doctor’s certificate to support their claim. Any student found submitting false or misleading notes will face further consequences. .Furthermore, students who repeatedly attend Sports Detention may be escalated to an afternoon detention. We expect honesty, integrity, and active participation in all aspects of school life, including Sport.

2025 STAFF v STUDENTS

The annual clash between the JTCC Staff and Yr 12 students commenced last week with TRIVIA. The staff collective were massively outnumbered 10:1 but after two rounds, two Yr 12 groups were leading the way over the staff team. Staff failed to read the question carefully and incorrectly gave the city/year of the last 5 Olympic Games instead of the country/year, which ended up being the difference in the end as the students ran away with the trivia contest to take a 1 -0 lead.

Monday - Netball was the game and it was evenly contested once again. Sharp shooter Ms Kelleher kept the teachers in front as Mr Chapman and Mr McKenzie locked up the defensive third. Staff ran out winners 8 -5, to even the scores up 1 -1.

Tuesday - Soccer was the game and it drew a massive crowd on the ovals. Ms Hawkesby was dominant upfront keeping Norman Hachem on his toes, but let an easy save bundle over the line for the staff to take the lead. VAR confirming the ball actually crossed the line. The game was a mixture of youth and finesse and slow/fat/old with one teacher even skying a penalty. There was a bit of contention regarding the score - so we went to golden goal penalties, and staff executed whilst Yr 12 missed, so staff won the game and took a 2 -1 lead.

Wednesday - Basketball. This normally is an outweighed contest with the Yr 12s normally dominating the event. The refereeing was non-existent, and the staff were gassed from the non-stop running which allowed the student youth to pick up the tempo and get a good lead. Some glimpse of a staff fightback, but Austin Matahau led his troops to a 4 point victory over a fatigued/untalented staff team. Scores tied at 2 - 2.

Thursday - Ultimate Frisbee. Yr 12 entered the playing arena to the sounds of victory as they were determined to get the win. The rules were set and the game commenced with Yr 12 crossing the endzone first with an Annelise Hall 2 pointer. But from then on it was a match dominated by the staff. Mr Tran, Mr Geribo and Mr Bodeker were instrumental in guiding the staff into the endzone for three 2 point scores and 5 single scores to take the match 11 - 6.

Staff remain undefeated since 2018 and will look to the future graduates of John Therry for more of a contest.
