After a successful working bee on Saturday, parents and students turned up again on Sunday for the Interschool Sports Day against ASSG. while BTC had some wins and some losses, the games were great to watch and were played in the spirit of the game. all games had a good crowd of onlookers to cheer on the teams.
Netball results saw 13's, 14's and 15's go down to ASSG, while the 2nds had a good win  15-5 and in a great game the 1sts won 20-14.
 Rugby League results  had BTC claiming a good win in the 14yrs but going down in the 2nds and 1sts games.  The 1sts had a tough competition  and were unlucky in a few of their try attempts.

BTC Girls at Waterpolo Championships

Sally Carrington and Madi Smith travelled to Noosa as part of the North Qld Waterpolo Team to compete at the State Championships.  The team, which included players from Ayr, Ingham, Whitsundays , Charters Towers and Townsville played strongly and improved with every game they played. While it was hard against the Brisbane teams who train and play together regularly, the team was evenly matched against other regional teams from Darling Downs, Capricornia and the Gold Coast.  Year 12, Sally Carrington, played well and enjoyed her 2nd but final year playing in the Northern team. Madi Smith, who played strongly in defensive centre back position, was named as the Northern team's Player of the Tournament.
