BAS Road Relay
Thursday, July 18, saw the commencement of the BAS Cross Country Season with the Road Relays at Victoria Park. The Road Relays consist of four runners running 1500m each. It was pleasing to see 66 students brave the cold conditions and compete against our fellow BAS schools. A number of students ran up an age division, which is a superb effort. Overall, our times across the Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions were very competitive, well done to all. We now turn our attention to the Cross country, which is at Ballarat High School on Wednesday, August 7.
Intermediate Boys Football
On Tuesday, July 23, the Intermediate Boys Football team played St. Pat’s, with the winner progressing onto the Semi-Final of the Herald Sun Shield. Our boys were very competitive but eventually were well beaten by a much stronger opponent. Mr. Hamish Walsh and Mr. Hamish McCrum need to be thanked for all their work over the course of the season. It will be great to see the Year 10’s move into the senior ranks next year.

Damascus Sport Uniform
Students need to ensure they are in the correct uniform to participate. Students should check with their coach as to what is required and bring your own drink bottle.
I wish all students and coaches the best for Term 3 Sport. Always play the game in the right spirit, wear the correct uniform, respect the umpires, staff in charge and the facilities. You all have an opportunity to add to your school experience by being the best you can be, both in and out of the classroom.
Please do not hesitate to contact myself (g.webb@damascus.vic.edu.au) or Sport and PE Administrator, Patty Dillon (p.dillon@damascus.vic.edu.au) at the College with any questions.

Gavin Webb
