Extracurricular Excellence

We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students who have been excelling in their extracurricular pursuits. These dedicated individuals have demonstrated exceptional talent, passion, and commitment outside the classroom over the past semester. 

    Their accomplishments are a source of pride for the Carey community, and they inspire their peers to explore and excel in their interests.

    Shoot … and score!

    Last season, Luke, Harrison, and Kobi (Year 5) finished on top of the ladder in under-12s basketball at Lakeside, with the Rebounders winning the Division 2 Championship!

    Coach Jason said, “I was super proud of how hard they worked throughout the season and developed their game.”

    Well done, boys!

    Virtuosos play Government House

    Year 5 students Ha Yoon and Nathaniel were invited to play at the Winners’ Concert at Government House in May after demonstrating their incredible musical talents at this year’s Fremantle Eisteddfod.

    Nathaniel came first in the under-13s Guitar section with his skills on the ukulele!

    Congratulations!

    Malaysia International Athletics Tour

    After his performance at the WA State Track and Field Championships earlier this year, Year 8 student Deshaun was selected to represent WA in the International Tour in Kuala Lumpur held in July. He competed with 32 other WA athletes alongside competitors from the Singapore Sports School Council and Ministry of Education Malaysia at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

    Deshaun performed exceptionally well under pressure, and despite Malaysia’s high temperatures and extreme humidity:

    • 4 x 100m Relay: Bronze medal
    • 1500m: 5th
    • 800m: 7th
    • High Jump: 8th (PB 1.60m)
    • Triple Jump: 8th (PB 10.36m)
    • Discus: 8th

    Deshaun relished the opportunity to interact with athletes from different countries and says that swapping a competition shirt with a fellow 1500m runner from Singapore was a definite highlight!

    Congratulations, Deshaun!
