Great Sporting Achievements

Mid way through Term 2 saw the return of the Warners Bay NBA - our lunch time basketball competition.

This year we have 26 teams playing, with representation from every year, the teachers and the support unit.

The competition has already seen some big crowds supporting and a few surprising results.

Every team plays three games in the group stages with the top 14 teams qualifying for the playoffs. Group games continue next week.

After starting with 26 teams, the Warners Bay NBA is down to the final 8.

Quarterfinals and semifinals will continue into next week with the grandfinal being played on Friday.

Thank you to Taylor Hedley Property who have once again sponsored the finals series, providing prizes for our winners.

In a quarterfinal that was worthy of a grandfinal, last year's winners the Kings beat the teachers 30-29.

After over four weeks of daily basketball, 26 teams and over 200 players, the grand final was the 55th game of the competition.

It was a very close contest between last year's winners the Kings (Yr 11) playing the Pelicans (Yr 12). Click here to watch the highlights.

Congratulations to the Pelicans and to all students who were part of the competition: players, referees, scorers and spectators.

It was certainly an entertaining four weeks!

Congratulations to the U15’s Rugby League team who played in the Country cup semi finals at Baddeley Park in Cessnock on Thursday 30th May 2024.

They came out on top taking out the win and will move forward into the Newcastle Knights Hunter Premiership Grand Finals for 2024 held at McDonald Jones Stadium.

For the second year running the U14’s Rugby League team took out the Buckley Shield. The team made the trip to Baddeley Park in Cessnock to take on Great Lakes College in the semi-final. WBHS took out a convincing victory to the tune of 26-8, to move onto the Grand Final held later that day.

Warners Bay met Rutherford Technology High School in the Grand Final; a game that went down to the wire. In the dying stages of the match, Warners Bay crossed to seal the game, 14-12.

Congratulations to Sophie H who came away with the Gold Medal and NSW All Schools Champion in the 50m and 100m Backstroke as well as the Bronze Medal in the 200m Backstroke.

Congratulations also to Jordan G and Nick G!

Jordan G earned a Bronze Medal in the 200m and 400m Individual Medleys and placed 4th in the 200m Breaststroke.

Nick G placed 5th in the 100m Backstroke and 7th in the 200m Individual Medley.

Our boys volleyball team competed in the Hunter Championships last week.

All players represented our school with distinction, playing exceptionally well to defeat Glendale, Swansea and Hunter River High Schools.

We played against HSPA in the quarter finals losing the deciding set 25-23 in a tense and exciting game.

We look forward to the opportunity to return the same team in 2025.

Congratulations to Ella S, who spent some time last week in cold Griffith at the NSWCHS Netball championship umpiring.

Ella has been selected as a NSWCHS umpire.

Well done Ella!

Well done to all students who competed at the Eastlakes Zone Athletics carnival earlier this term. Warners Bay High was well represented with students participating in many events throughout the day. The students not only achieved some great results but were all extremely well behaved throughout the day.

Warners Bay High ranked second on the overall points tally by the day’s end, thanks to our boys placing first overall and our girls second within the Zone.

A special mention goes to Kye P and Jackson C who were crowned age champions, along with the following students who finished top 2 in their event and have qualified for Regional Athletics which will be held on 31st July:

Evie F, Tahlia F, Riley M, Tory J, Flynn J, Charlee P, Demi M, Zavier S, Max K, Zachary A, Max B, Monique C, Jackson S, Jemma G, Grace M, Erika E, Cayless O, Flynn M, Jett D, Mahika R, Faith W, Alyssa H, Amelia R, Lachlan S, Tighe C, Cambell C, Sophie H, Maddison H, Jett S, Noah B, Alazar A, Kengo C, Eli A, William S, Tanner B, Tom M, Cameron G, Flynn K, Mikaela M, Claudia T, Layla K, Gemma E and Heidi A.

Our Open Girls Hockey team competed in the CHS Knockout.

The girls began the day with a great win over Toronto 7-0. Goals to Evie F, Jemma G and Bridget P. The girls then took on a very skilled and well drilled Hunter Sports High. Unfortunately the girls went down 5-1 with our goal being an extremely well played team goal finished off by Lucy M.

For a number of girls this was there first taste of hockey and they played with enthusiasm and plenty of spirit. 

A massive thanks to Mrs Kerri Ford who helped out with girls and a big shout out to Max R and Luke H for acting as our Umpires for the day.
