Touch Football
Over the last few weeks of Term 3, the Years 5 and 6 students have been engaged in Touch Football coaching clinics facilitated by Touch Football Australia. These coaching clinics culminated in a Touch Football round-robin during unit sport. The sessions provided fantastic opportunities for skill development. A team of 12 students has been selected from these sessions to represent Newman College at an Interschool Carnival during Term 4.
ACC Athletics Carnival Results
The Athletics Team achieved a very pleasing result to finish top 5 and remain in A Division. In real terms, that means we finished 5th out of 64 schools as there are 8 Divisions in the ACC. Click here to access all the results from the A Division Athletics Carnival.
ACC A Division competition is at the elite level. Congratulations to all students for backing yourselves in and performing with determination and pride. We were only three points off 4th and 33 points off 3rd. We now know we can match it with the best and look forward to the challenge of further improvement in 2020.
It has taken a lot of work to get to this point and recognition must go to all of the staff and coaches who have put a great deal of time and energy into best preparing our teams.
Special thank you to the following students who put the ‘Team First’ and competed up an age group. This takes selflessness and courage, but this is what creates great teams and earns respect.
Cody Tana, Isabella O’Rourke, Eloise Wensley, Amalyn Chapman, Ariana Mason, Monique Faraone, Nicholas Pereira and Tahlia Peou.

Senior Girls Water Polo Competition
The Year 9/10 Senior Girls Water Polo team competed in the School Sports WA championship this week at HBF Stadium. The girls started the day with a solid win over John XXIII College and carried their form right through the day to enter the grand final against Melville undefeated.
The team got off to a slow start but came together to take out the championship 11 – 6. A big thank you to the Newman Water Polo Club for providing coach, Nathan Carbone (Class of 2014) who supported the girls all day. This is the second year in a row Newman has claimed the title and we are looking forward to 2020.

Newman Sports Association News & Reports
Marist Football
In the space of a week, Marist 18’s celebrated Grand Final victory in the Northern Conference and a District State Premiership.
True grit, skill and courage has seen the Marist 18’s take out two grand finals in a week, with Newman College students making up almost half of the playing group.
The team was coached by Matt Angus, who recently guided Newman’s 1st XVIII to grand final victory, and last year coached the 2018 Marist Year 11/12 team that took out the premiership.
The Marist 18’s arguably saved their best game for their premiership push against Quinns Bulls at Claremont Oval on Sunday 15 September, displaying high quality skills and tough team orientated play.
Marist defeated Quinns Bulls 10.5-65 to 2.6-18. Four out of the six best players are Newman students. The best players are as follows : J. Van Rooyen, J.Ciminata, A. Aves (Newman), E. McCallum (Newman), M. Romano (Newman), J. Walsh-Dwyer (Newman).
In a first, the team played a second grand final against fellow District winner Morley Bulldogs to determine the State District title. Both teams were extremely competitive but, despite only playing a week earlier, Marist dominated 10.9-69 to 4.6-30.
Newman Knights
The Newman Knights Hockey Club wound up their 2019 season in the best possible way with a thrilling Grand Final win for the J11/12 Boys last Friday.
Having taken out the Minor Premiership with only one loss all season to opponents Southern River, the game was locked at 1-1 after extra time. Penalty strokes decided the outcome with all five boys converting to win the game 6-5. Goal scorers were Connor Whelan, Tom Ariti, Morgan Keet, Max Hinch and Dominick Elliot.
All teams had lots of fun and showed great sportsmanship throughout a very busy season. The Mini Knights had 65 participants in 2019 ranging in age from Pre Primary – Year 4, and we held Hookin2hockey sessions in Terms 1 & 2 at Newman College and Term 3 at St Dominics, Innaloo, with each program running for 6 weeks.
The J1/2’s to J11/12’s had 115 participants with teams in each age group, some playing together for the first time. Boys and girls play together in the younger age groups and we also had two mixed teams in both J5/6 and J7/8 age groups, as well as a J5/6 girls, J9/10 boys and the two J11/12 teams. Several teams had new players who joined in 2019 and our existing players quickly embraced these players to their team providing support and encouragement at every game.
Following their back to back B Grade Premiership wins in 2017 & 2018, our J11/12 Girls played in the higher Promotion A grade, which was a tough competition. Most of the girls also played in Senior teams all year with seven of the girls in Year 12 – their last year as Juniors. We also saw several of our J11/12 Boys playing Senior hockey with Tom Ariti ending the season as Runner Up Fairest and Best in our Men’s Promotion 1 team.
Congratulations to all our players, coaches, umpires and managers on a great season. 2020 will see us expand our six week Mini Knights program to include students in Years 5 & 6 wanting to try hockey for the first time before joining a team. The first Mini Knights will be in Term 1, 2020 at Newman College, kicking off with a come and try clinic on 10th Feb!
