North Shore Schoolgirls Dominate on the Sporting Field
Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)
—Speaker, recently, the young women of the North Shore have been absolutely dominating the sporting arena. I want to congratulate all the girls involved in the following events; Loreto Kirribilli's Rowing Team delivered outstanding results at the 2024 Schoolgirl Head of the River. The team won the overall medal tally and the coveted Betty Deer Rosebowl for the Overall Pointscore. Congratulations girls. Star soccer player Maddie, a Loretto Kirribilli student who recently graduated, debuted for the Under 20 Young Matildas at the AFC Asian Cup earlier this year. Maddie's team took home bronze medals, which secured them a place in the FIFA Under 20 Women's World Cup in Columbia. Congratulations Maddie. Sally, from Queenwood, played exceptionally at the NSW All Schools National Championships for netball. Sally's team smashed the competition at the NSW CIS Netball Challenge Day with an undefeated record. Sally earned her spot as Co-Vice Captain of the UNSWCIS U15 Team. Congratulations Sally. Finally, the North Sydney Girls High School Chess team, Joy, Sarah, Iris, Ella, and Isobel, qualified for the national championships. They will represent NSW in the Secondary Girls' Division. Congratulations, girls.
