Girls Sport Coordinator: Anne-Marie Champion
With Round 3 of the 2020/2021 BWPI Water Polo season played last weekend I had the pleasure of watching three of our teams work hard in the pool for St Peters. Amongst the storms and the heavy rain, the girls came away with some great results. I enjoyed meeting many future students who will be joining us at the College next year.
The Junior Softball season is underway with the wet, stormy weather cancelling day two of competition. A big well done to all Junior Softball girls who have competed well on the two days of competition so far.
The girls are enjoying the fun atmosphere while learning the game of Softball, a big thank you to our Coordinator Ms Natalie Holman and our team of coaches who do a great job.
Congratulations to our amazing athletes who competed in the 2020 Queensland All School Championships on the weekend.

BWPI WATER POLO
Coordinators: Mrs Elaine Ripamonti & Mrs Tracey Bruce – waterpolo@stpeters.qld.edu.au
Water Polo is well and truly underway, and the girls have approached the season with gusto and are quickly developing and acquiring new skills with the exposure and expertise of our new and returning coaches. With storm season upon us, Water Polo training is always going to be up for negotiation on the night, so it is important that all parents have downloaded the St Peters App as this is the quickest and most efficient way to communicate with parents for last minute cancellations to training. If it is raining training will go ahead however in the event of lightening or a storm it will be cancelled. We will communicate to parents when and if training is cancelled in the event this should occur.
Thank you to the Team Managers who have also taken on these duties this year. With COVID restrictions at pool venues it has added another layer of responsibility to all coaches, managers and parents to ensure our girls keep playing Water Polo. We appreciate all parents continued support during these challenging times.
