NCIS Tennis 

A group of BDC students from primary and secondary played in the first NCIS competition for 2023. This was a tennis competition in Grafton on 9th February. All students displayed excellent sportsmanship. Nitish Gulgulia and Finn Mcnicol both came 3rd in their pools. Josh Burns made it to the semi-finals playing an impressive match and came 4th.

Finn Kahler was outstanding and played in the final against a player from Emmanual College who is 4th in the state. Finn came 2nd - a fantastic achievement.

Well done to all the players and thanks to Mrs Ceasar and Ms Titcume for the assistance they gave on the day.
