Women's Football in February

Starting early in the new year, and with some classy additions to the open girls’ team, we headed to Port Macquarie to play SCAS. With an emphasis on trying to maintain our structure, passing, and movement. The girls got off to a perfect start with a couple of early goals.

The girls kept the tempo high and across the paddock were outplaying SCAS. Our defensive line let nothing through leaving our keeper without much to do. The midfield played some lovely triangles through the center with their players running around in circles. And our top strikers were deadly accurate.

We went in at halftime 4-0 up, and early in the second half, we were up to 6-0. Moving players around a bit after this to cover for injuries and try out a different structure, we saw a couple of goals go in and the match finished at 6-2.

Well done to all the girls, especially our newcomers, and good luck for the next game, bring it on!

This year, our first group of students will complete a series of 30km Endurance events known as the Brisbane Kokoda Challenge. During our Kaizen Elective, ‘Perseverance Prove it’, we have 20 students physically and mentally preparing for a long-distance event in June that honours and remembers the Kokoda Spirit. This challenge will help the students understand Kokoda’s core values of courage, endurance, mateship, and sacrifice. It will help them feel adversity and discover the challenges which may seem impossible can be achieved through preparation, hard work, and perseverance. 

To participate in this event, we need to not only train our bodies but raise funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s life-changing Youth Programs. 

The Kokoda Youth Foundation is a Gold Coast charity that runs experiential Youth Programs, inspiring young Aussies to reach their full potential. The foundation takes kids from all walks of life and provides them with free programs that have life-changing capabilities. These kids are fondly known as the Kokoda Kids.

You can support our BDC teams in The Kokoda Challenge and Kokoda Youth Foundation in their mission to change lives by making a tax-deductible donation today!

Primary Rugby 7s - 6th March, 2023

Under blue skies and a bright, hot, Autumn sun, the BDC Primary Rugby Sevens teams arrived at Rex Hardaker Oval ready for action. Both teams, BDC Red and BDC Blue completed their warm-ups with purpose and precision. The early matches saw some strong attacks and determined defense, with the Red Team winning their first two matches.

As the day wore on, the heat began to take its toll. Players from all teams had to dig deep to find the reserves of energy needed. The Red Team progressed through to the Cup Finals, while the Blue Team placed in the Bowl Finals. Both teams came up against tough, powerful opponents and well-drilled, cohesive teams. Falling just short of making the grand finals for their divisions, all players kept playing hard for themselves and for each other, right up until the final hooter.

MVP for Team Red was Liam Martin, while MVP for Team Blue was Will Parmenter. Congratulations to all our players for the way you conducted yourselves, tried your best and supported each other.

Mr. Haynes & Mr. Hollindale
