Congratulations to Year 9 student Georgia Lovett on achieving an amazing 1st place in the 13+ Jollettes Gymnastics State Championships at Loftus Recreation Centre, Leederville. Georgia competed in several events such as beam, floor, bars and trampet. We are extremely proud of her!
Friday the 19th of October saw a group of 31 students and 3 staff members represent Clarkson at the 2018 State School WA Inter-School Athletics competition. This gave our students a fantastic opportunity to test themselves against some very promising young talented athletes as well as shine a light onto our school. They achieved both admirably.
We ended the day in 4th place, which was our best placing in the last 3 years and, if not for some administrative errors, we could have cracked the top 3!
Congratulations to Clarkson student Trinity Miller for being selected to represent Western Australia in the 2015 State Touch Rugby Team!
On Wednesday the 13th of November 18 brave Year 9 students ventured north on a grueling trip to Butler College to challenge them in two epic volleyball matches.
After minimal warm-up time the Year 9 girls and boys were underway in their respective matches. The girls got off to a flyer and found themselves 10 points up in the early stages of the first set before Butler clicked into gear and brought the score back to a thrilling 26-24 first set, which fell the way of Clarkson. The teams then swapped sides and, with the help of a run of good serves, Butler managed to sew up the second set leaving the scores locked at 1-1. Finding themselves five points down early in the 3rd and final set, the Clarkson girls rallied together and found a way to win by 3 points (25-22).
Further testament to the success of the rugby league program at Clarkson Community High School is the selection of three more players to the State team.
Kawana Jones, Amos Manu and Damian Darlington have been selected for the Under 16 State rugby league squad. Congratulations, boys!
