Three of our top volleyball teams competed in the SA Volleyball Schools Cup last week, coming up against strong opposition, with results below:

Year 9 Girls Division 2 – Silver Medalists
Year 12 Girls Division 1 – 4th Overall
Year 12 Boys Division 1 – 10th Overall

We are incredibly proud of all our players for the way they represented themselves and the College, throughout the tournament. It was a highly competitive event, and our teams supported one another, played with great spirit and demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship at every opportunity.

Thank you to our coaches, Mr Lee, Mrs Pacillo, Ms Scott and Old Scholars, Ashlyn A, Jess B, Jordan B and Georgia G.

Two weeks ago, our weekly sport teams competed in the annual pink round within the SAAS, IGSSA, and other local competitions. Pink round is to promote Women’s Health awareness in our schools and community. A chance to pause and think of the women who are in our lives. Our Woodcroft teams wore splashes of pink throughout their games.

Congratulations to Sam, who was awarded the pink round medal from the Open A3 Basketball matchup against Gleeson.

This pink award is not for the best player in a team; it is for the best teammate. The person in your team that you love to play with, because they give their team and teammates their all, they encourage and care for their teammates.

SSSA Statewide 9/10 Boys Basketball 🏀

On Monday, our Year 9/10 Basketball team competed in the School Sport SA Year 9/10 Boys KO Basketball competition at St John's Grammar.

The boys faced a tough draw, coming up against strong opponents in St John's Grammar and Immanuel College.

While the team didn't come away with a win, they enjoyed a fantastic day of basketball and displayed excellent teamwork, determination, and resilience throughout the day.

Thank you to Mr R and Mr Hudson for coaching and supporting the team!

SSSA 7-9 Indoor Cricket 🏏

On Monday, Woodcroft competed in Round 1 of the SSSA Year 7-9 Indoor Cricket competition against Seaford Secondary School.

Despite some late changes to the fixture, the team adapted well, showed great resilience, and delivered an outstanding performance to secure victory and a place in the State Championships.

Woodcroft finished on 147 runs, defeating Seaford Secondary School, who scored 65 runs.

Congratulations to all players on a fantastic team effort, and best of luck at the State Championships!

SSSA Statewide 7-9 Boys Netball 🏐

On Thursday last week, we hosted Sacred Heart College in Round 2 of the SSSA Year 7-9 Boys Knockout Netball competition.

It was great to welcome back our three students who recently represented South Australia at the SSSA 15 & Under Championships.

After a tightly contested opening, our boys found another gear, lifting their intensity and teamwork to pull away from Sacred Heart and secure an impressive victory.

The win sees the team advance to the State Championships at The Lights on 4 September. Congratulations to all the boys on a fantastic performance, and best of luck at the finals!

Thank you to Ben Ryan and Mrs Lawson for coaching and inspiring the team!

SSSA Statewide Open Volleyball 🏐

On Friday, our Open Boys and Open Girls Volleyball teams delivered outstanding performances at the School Sport SA Year 11-12 Knockout Volleyball Competition held at Aberfoyle Park High School.

Both teams were in fantastic form, claiming impressive victories over Willunga High School, Willunga Waldorf School, and Seaford Secondary College throughout the day.

Their remarkable efforts have earned them a place at the State Championships, which will be held at The Lights on Thursday 10 September. What an incredible achievement!

Congratulations to all players for their skill, teamwork, and determination. A special thank you also goes to our dedicated volleyball coaches, Mr Lee, Jake, and Georgia, whose guidance and support helped lead both teams to success.

Good luck at the State Championships! Go Woodcroft!

SSSA Statewide 10-12 Badminton 🏸

Last Tuesday, our Open Badminton teams travelled to St Peter’s Girls’ School to compete in Round 1 of the School Sport SA Open Boys & Girls Knockout Badminton Competition.

The girls’ team had a fantastic day on court, recording impressive wins against Hamilton Secondary College and Adelaide Botanic High School. They battled hard in their match against the host school, St Peter’s Girls’ School, but were unable to secure the win.

The boys’ team faced strong competition throughout the day, taking on Hamilton Secondary College, Adelaide Botanic High School and Unley High School. Despite their determined efforts and competitive play, they were unable to come away with a victory.

While neither team will progress to the next round, all players represented Woodcroft College with enthusiasm, commitment and outstanding sportsmanship. Congratulations to everyone involved on a great day of competition and for the way you represented the College.

Thank you to our badminton coaches Henry and Sam for their ongoing support to our badminton program.

SSSA Statewide 7/8 Boys Footy 🏉

Last Tuesday, our Year 7/8 Boys Knockout Football team competed against Aldinga Payinthi College, Reynella East College and Seaview High School in Round 1 of the School Sport SA Knockout Football competition.

After three convincing victories, the boys have successfully progressed through to Round 2. Congratulations to the entire team on an outstanding performance!

A special thank you to Mr Ryan and Old Scholar Lachie Martin for their excellent coaching and support throughout the day.

We look forward to seeing the boys continue their strong form in the next round. Well done!

We had two teams compete in the School Sport SA Year 9/10 Girls Basketball Day Carnival, against Reynella East College, Thomas More College and Goolwa High School. It was a fun day of basketball and high spirits.

For half of our players, this was their first real introduction to competitive basketball. Drawing on skills from netball, football and soccer, the girls adapted brilliantly and quickly transferred those abilities to the basketball court. They embraced the challenge, had plenty of fun and demonstrated impressive performances throughout the day.

Congratulations to both teams for their enthusiasm, sportsmanship and willingness to give something new a go. It was fantastic to see the girls enjoying the opportunity to represent the College and participate in such a positive sporting experience.

A big thank you to Jacqui, Hannah and Year 11 student, Bella for coaching and supporting the teams throughout the day.

A special thank you also goes to Year 11 student, Zahli for officiating the games and helping make the day a success.
