Congratulations UC SSC Lake Ginninderra students.

LakeG girls take out South Coast Futsal Title. Congratulations to Stella, Emma, Elke, Chloe, Lily & Sally for demonstrating wonderful skills and teamwork while remaining undefeated over 6 high quality matches. Thanks also to Olivia Gurney for driving down to coach. They have now qualified for the NSW state finals later in the year. Our 3 other teams all won matches, with our top boys team unluckily losing to the eventual winners in the quarter finals. Staff were really impressed and are looking forward to the inter-college competition in Term 2 where LakeG are looking to defend their boys & girls 2018 titles.
