College day for athletic girls

Twenty students from each of the primary schools in the Brisbane Water Learning Community participated in a full day of athletics activities at the Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus on Wednesday, July 25.

"Girls were selected based on their athletic ability and so we had a variety of skills in the group ranging from netballers, soccer players and dancers," said campus technology and learning head teacher Ms Sheree Gilchrist.

"Students worked in small groups with Year 9 members from the Elite Girls Sports Academy, as well as Ms Spencer, an elite sports person herself, to better understand methods of fitness focusing on speed and agility," said Ms Gilchrist
