Confraternity Shield Rugby League and QISSN Netball
QISSRL / QISSN Netball and Rugby League Tour
Congratulations to all players involved with the Confraternity Shield Rugby League and QISSN Netball Carnival held on the first week of the school holidays. The Netball team again played in Division 5/6 for the Pool Games and ended up finishing 5th in Division 6. The Rugby League team went to the carnival low on numbers and were extremely grateful to acquire three students from Dalby Christian College and five from Mary MacKillop Highfields. The team finished 7th in Division 3. Lana O’Callaghan, Mia Smith and Karlie Falvey played Rugby League with St Joseph’s College and won the Division Two Final. Thanks to all parents, staff, supporters and sponsors for their commitment to these teams in 2025. Preparations have already begun for the 2026 Carnivals in Brisbane.
