GOLD COAST TITANS ALL SCHOOLS COMPETITION

Last week students from Gordonvale SHS travelled to the Gold Coast to compete at the Gold Coast Titans All Schools competition. The students played extremely well showing true skill and sportsmanship when coming up against some big schools. They won 5 out of 6 of their round games with scores of 12-0, 5-4, 7-8, 9-3, 11-2 and 5-1.
This impressive score tally took them too the Round of 16 finals as they placed 11th out of the 76 schools in their category.
Unfortunately, the team narrowly lost their round of finals 2-5 which had them out of the competition.

The students showed incredible respect and sportsmanship to each other, the officials and other teams showing true Gordonvale SHS values. An extra congratulations to Cooper who won player’s player for the games (voted by the team) for his can-do attitude and unfaltering positivity towards his fellow players, and Tyler who won coach’s player for his performance and positive attitude on and off the field.

A big thank you to Miss Gammie, Mr Sperring and Miss Goggin who accompanied the team which took a lot of organisation and dedication of time over the weekend.

This wraps up this team’s touch football journey for 2026 as the school says goodbye to long term participants of our touch team who are graduating this year and we wait to see where they will go in 2027.
