2011_Country_Week

Ninety Margaret River Senior High School competitors and eight coaches enjoyed Country Week during the last week of term two. The team celebrated two division wins and was Division A runner-up.

Students thanked ever-reliable bus driver Lance and Country Week co-ordinator Stuart Kupfer-Hollis for a safe and perfectly-organised week.

MRSHS results were:

AFL Boys: C Division winners. MRSHS won all seven games. The team showed some outstanding play and defeated Karratha SHS by six goals in the grand final.

Dance: B Division winners. The MRSHS girls put together an outstanding performance. After three days of gruelling workshops at WAAPA, the group showed their superior skills in the final performance.

Netball: A Division 8th. The team placed 8th out of 37, the girls encountered some narrow losses but secured A Division status with a convincing win against Australind SHS.

Soccer, Boys: B Division 4th. The squad started with three wins but lost two of their six group games. The boys lost the third-place play-off three goals to nil against Geraldton.

Soccer, Girls: B Division 5th. The girls played some good football and were unlucky not to take away a point in their division matches. The team was eliminated despite a two-all draw in their qualification final.

Volleyball, Boys. A Division 8th. The boys won one and lost six of their group games. Despite losing the 7th place play-off and being placed last in A Division, the squad left 26 schools behind them in the final ranking.

Volleyball, Girls: A Division runners-up. After a demolition in their first game to the eventual winners, Newton Moore SHS, the girls won all other group games forcefully to qualify for the grand final.
