SunSmart Singles Tennis Competition
On Tuesday 15 May, nine of our students (Jessie Andrikis, Nicola Agnew, Isabella Bain, Lucinda Bain, Karuna Henderson, Niki Johnson, Georgie Koundouris, Brooke Newham and Ellen Sanderson) participated in the SunSmart Singles Tennis Competition at the Empower Dome, Fadden. The students showed great sportsmanship and supported each other through the whole competition. Two of these students Isabella Bain and Georgie Koundouris, made it through to the finals held on Thursday 17 May at the National Tennis Centre, Lyneham. I would like to thank Jenny Sanderson for managing and supporting the team on the day and for providing us with some images of the students.

ACT Secondary Schools Singles Tennis Tournament
On 26 February 2007 six aspiring tennis stars represented CGGS at the ACT Secondary Schools Singles Tennis Tournament. Students from secondary schools and colleges all over the ACT came together for three days of green and white (and brown in the case of the clay courts). Tess Aungles, Carley Willis, Angharad Llewellyn, Nicole White, Candace Kwong and Jennifer Walsh were models of good sportsmanship and matched the competition in a pool of skilled tennis practitioners.
Angharad Llewellyn and Nicole White played valiant first round matches but were, unfortunately, knocked out early in the day. Progressing through to the second and third rounds with relative ease, Tess Aungles, Carley Willis, Jennifer Walsh and Candace Kwong played some brilliant tennis to stay in the competition. CGGS dominated in the quarter finals; three of the eight quarter finalists were Grammarians. Carley Willis played a tough first-to-nine-games set, losing 9-3. Jennifer Walsh breezed through her quarter final match 9-0, and Candace Kwong - our sole Year 7 representative - put on a similarly impressive show also winning 9-0. The day ended with semi final matches, and while both Jennifer and Candace played some more fantastic tennis, the semi finals saw both our remaining players knocked out. Jennifer and Candace both showed tremendous focus and determination in their semi final matches. The girls supported and encouraged each other during each of their matches, and displayed a high level of sportsmanship throughout the entirety of the day. Well done to all of the girls, and keep up the training for next year’s tournament!
