Hills Zone Sports Association | Week 7 Results

AICES Secondary Cross Country

Our HZSA Cross Country team returned to the Sydney International Equestrian Centre this week, this time for the AICES Cross Country Championships, where more than 700 runners from NSW co‑educational independent schools competed for a coveted place at the CIS Carnival. Despite the cold conditions making the course even more challenging, our students delivered outstanding performances and helped secure Hills Zone’s 3rd place overall.

We are proud to acknowledge the following Top 10 results:

Abbey Lincoln — 4th, Girls 13 Years (3000m)

Jalen Karbon — 2nd, Boys 13 Years (3000m)

Savannah Prime — 3rd, Girls 14 Years (4000m)

Holly Wilson — 6th, Girls 15 Years (4000m)

These athletes have now qualified for the AICES team and will represent our school at the CIS Cross Country Championships on 25 June. We congratulate them on their determination and wish them all the best as they take on the next level of competition.

HZSA Semester One Finals

Our Senior Girls Netball team entered their HZSA Final as strong favourites after an impressive regular season of seven wins and just one loss, and they delivered a performance that reflected that form. From the opening possession, the girls set the tone with confident ball movement, accurate shooting, and disciplined defensive pressure that limited the opposition’s scoring opportunities.

Their teamwork and composure were evident throughout the match, with clean transitions through the mid‑court and several well‑timed intercepts helping them maintain control. As the game progressed, the girls continued to build momentum, eventually pulling away to secure a 23–12 victory and claim the title of HZSA Champions. A fantastic achievement, well done, girls. Congratulations also to Alumni student Katie Bull who coached the team this season.

Our Intermediate Girls Netball GOLD team competed in the HZSA Division A Final this week, taking on an undefeated opponent who had previously beaten them convincingly earlier in the season. Determined to show their improvement, the girls produced a strong, disciplined performance, matching their opponent’s goal for goal through the opening stages and heading towards half‑time with the scores locked.

Their defensive pressure, clean ball movement, and accurate shooting kept the match tight right into the final quarter. Although the opposition found a late run to take the win 31–27, our girls earned the title of HZSA Runners Up, a result that reflects their growth, teamwork, and resilience across the season. A fantastic effort and one they should be proud of. A big thank you also goes to Ms O’Hagan who coached the team this season.

Representative Success

Congratulations to Year 8 student Flynn Islaub, who proudly represented NSW CIS at the NSW All Schools 14 Years & Under Australian Football Championships held earlier this week in Albury. It was a demanding tournament, with the CIS side facing strong opposition from across the state. After a tough opening day that saw two narrow losses, the team regrouped impressively, responding with two convincing wins to finish 2nd overall.

In speaking with Flynn, he shared how grateful he was for the opportunity to represent CIS and how much he enjoyed competing against talented players from both the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges and the NSW Combined High Schools. His commitment, positive attitude, and willingness to embrace the challenge reflect the qualities we value in our student athletes.

Well done, Flynn on an outstanding achievement and a memorable experience.

Our Junior Boys Football team will take the field next week in the HZSA Grand Final, capping off a season built on consistency, teamwork, and steady improvement. We wish them good luck as they prepare for this match.

On Wednesday, we held our Junior School Celebration of Cultures Day. It was wonderful to see and learn about some of the things that are unique to the many cultures represented in the Junior School.

This year we were again fortunate to have parents who generously gave up their time to share their culture so passionately and professionally with our students on the day. They also spent numerous hours planning and organising the activity beforehand. Thank you to all these parents who presented and those who supported their children in preparing beautiful cultural displays for the day.

I also thank the students who performed with incredible talent at the various cultural activities and assemblies. It was beautiful to see the enthusiasm of our students and their friends as they learnt from one another.

In the book of Revelation, John describes the remarkable picture of those gathered around the throne of God in this way:

“ After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”(Revelation 7:9)

Pictured here are people from all nations, tribes, people groups and languages who have come to follow Jesus and are worshipping Him around His throne. Our Celebration of Cultures Day was a joyful glimpse of that promised hope to come.

We thank God for the wonderful weather we had and the joyous time celebrating together.

Kindly note: The Junior School Lost Property is now in H Quad area in a box for parents to regularly check.

Hills Zone Sports Association | Round 11 Results and Final Placings

Combine Independent Schools (CIS) Touch Football Gala Day.

Congratulations to the Cohen I and Hudson T who played at CIS Primary Touch Football Championships this week.

It was the first Primary Hills Zone Sporting Association (HZSA) Team in this sport and the boys had an excellent day with lots of close games and wins against NCIS and the Barbarians side, as well as, a draw with CASA to finish 5th overall.

Well done to Cohen who made it to the possible / probable trial game.

Hills Zone Afternoon Sport.

Last week, we wrapped up the Stage 2 and Stage 3 HZSA Afternoon Sport Competition, marking the end of a fantastic semester of sport. Congratulations to all students who participated, it was a pleasure to watch you take to the field/court each week and compete against other Hills Zone schools with enthusiasm and pride.

Throughout the season, it was wonderful to see the growth in each team. Students developed not only their skills, but also their understanding of teamwork. Week by week, we saw confidence build with players supporting one another, celebrating successes, and learning from games that didn’t go our way.

Although the final round brought some challenging results, it was inspiring to see how positively students reflected on their performances. The smiles at the end of the day said it all.

A big thank you must also go to our Senior School students, who gave their time each week to referee and umpire. Your commitment, leadership and willingness to serve are deeply appreciated. These competitions simply would not run without your support and it is clear how much our younger students value your encouragement and presence.

Well done to everyone involved in what has been a rewarding and enjoyable season!

RHAC Spring Fair 2026!

The countdown is on! We are excited to announce that the RHAC Spring Fair will be returning on Saturday, 12 September 2026, from 11:00am to 4:00pm. Hosted by the RHAC P&F, the Spring Fair is one of the most anticipated events on our College calendar, bringing together students, families, staff, alumni and the wider community for a fantastic day of fun and connection.

With carnival rides, live entertainment, delicious food, market stalls, games and activities for all ages, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. We are expecting another wonderful community turnout and can't wait to celebrate together.

As we begin planning for this exciting event, we are seeking preliminary expressions of interest from RHAC parents and carers who may be willing to lend a hand. Whether you can assist in the lead-up to the Fair, help with planning and preparation, volunteer for a shift on the day, or simply support where needed, we would love to hear from you.

The Spring Fair's success is made possible by the incredible support of our parent community, and volunteering is a wonderful way to meet other families, contribute to the College, and be part of a memorable event for our students.

If you think you may be interested in helping, please complete the form below and register your expression of interest. There is no commitment at this stage - we are simply looking to gauge interest and will be in touch closer to the event with more information about volunteer opportunities.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned for more exciting Spring Fair updates in the
