Walk to School Safely Day

On Friday the 19th May, it was Walk to School Safely day. As ‘being safe’ was our positive behaviour focus for the week, we at the Junior Campus decided to walk to school with parents and children. After meeting at the bakery at 8:00am, we walked to school using the zebra crossings safely.

It was a great walk and thank you to the staff and families who came along. It was lovely to see so much support for our school!

Remember, when walking you must use the zebra crossings safely look left and right before crossing.

Equestrian News

Tahlia Simpson has been busy this term competing at the local shows as well as the Darling Downs regional championships. Her horses Kamilaror Koolabah (KK) and Le Flirtuer Dylan (Dylan) have been working hard to qualify for the Interschool State Championships held next month. KK performed exceptional in the dressage scoring 4th overall and Dylan came home with a 5th and 6th in the show horse and led competitions. We would like to commend Tahlia on her level of performance and presentation over the competitions and wish her all the best at the State Championships.

South West 14-15 Rugby League – Cairns

From 4th to 7th May, several Roma State College students represented the South West Region at the 14-15 Years Rugby League State Championships in Cairns. The team, captained by Damon Qualischefski, also included Torey Kirby, Blayze Blake, Grayson Walsh, Keenan Ryan and Adam Hodgson. Overall, the players toiled hard throughout the 4 days of play and had earnt a well-deserved rest following the carnival.

Day 1 was a tough initiation to Rugby League at state level as South West played Metropolitan East. The first half was played at a speed and intensity not familiar to the South West contingent. After a tough first half, Met East led 30-0. The South West side responded well after the break posting 3 tries during spirited second half. However, Met East ran out winners to finish with a score of 58-16. Man of the match was Coby Fechner (St John’s) and Player’s Player was Shaun Packer (St John’s).

On Day 2 South West came up against the highly fancied Northern region. In what was another tough contest, the South West side fatigued late in each half handing their opposition a 44-6 victory. Man of the Match was Grayson Walsh (RSC) and Player’s Player was Ryan Kehl (St John’s).

The South West side were pitched against arch rivals Darling Downs on Day 3 in what began as solid encounter. Unfortunately, due to ineffective 1 on 1 tackles across the park, DD shot out to a 30-0 lead at half time. Like the 2 previous days, South West played a lot more controlled and enthusiastic brand of football in the second stanza with each team scoring twice. The end score in the local derby was Darling Downs 42 – South West 8. Man of the match was Ryan Kehl (St John’s) and Player’s Player was Damon Qualischefski (RSC).

Day 4 proved a mountain too hard to climb as the South West side were battered and bruised mentally and physically from encounters against sides that finished 5th (Northern), 6th (Met East) and 10th (Darling Downs). Although South West scored 4 tries to 3 in the match, conversion kicker Grayson Walsh couldn’t buy a goal as the match ended in a 16 all draw. Man of the Match was Damon Qualischefski (RSC) and Player’s Player was Torey Kirby (RSC).

A huge thanks to all of the parents who made the long trip north for your efforts across the 4-5 days. Also, thanks to Mal McMillan who assisted the team as the trainer throughout the duration of the carnival. Will Clarke South West 14-15 RL Coach
