BGSS Softball Success at the NQ Trials!
Over the past two days, BGSS proudly had 9 girls representing Townsville Green, Townsville Blue, and The Burdekin at the Girls U12 North Queensland Softball Trials.
The carnival was full of fantastic moments, tough competition and unforgettable memories for everyone involved. Our girls showed teamwork, resilience and outstanding sportsmanship throughout the weekend.
A special congratulations goes to Ava, Eliza and Mia, who progressed to the Possibles and Probables match after consistently strong performances across both days. The trio had the opportunity to face the current and still-selected NQ pitcher, who was bringing plenty of heat from the mound. All three girls showed incredible determination and grit at the plate and in the field.
Their efforts were rewarded with selection in the North Queensland team, earning the honour of wearing the blue and white. A fantastic achievement and a testament to their hard work and dedication.
A huge congratulations to all of our BGSS representatives for their hard work and sportsmanship throughout the weekend, and a special congratulations to Ava, Eliza, and Mia on this fantastic achievement!

QLD DAY☀️🌴🦞

What do you get when you hand a microphone to a bunch of North Queensland school students on Queensland Day?

A heartwarming, hilarious and unsurprisingly wise celebration of everything that makes Queensland great. 🎙️☀️

The senior students at Belgian Gardens State School caught up with Saturday Brekky host Jess Naunton to reveal their favourite Queenslanders and why they reckon there's no better place to live than the Sunshine State.

Their answers will make you proud to be a Queenslander. ❤️❤️

Today Mrs Pilcher took 2 teams to the NQ Netball Cup Gala Day, a mixed and a girls team. Both teams fought incredibly hard all day. They certainly showed BG spirit and cheer.

A massive thank you to Coach Kerin, Leah’s mum for coaching the mixed team. They were top of their pool and got knocked out in the semi-finals. They finished off in the top 4 out of 20 competitive mixed teams. This team were fierce and continued to chase being the best they could be out there today. Only 3 out of the 10 students play club netball, so fantastic results for them.

Our girls were remarkable winning 3 out of 5 games. They improved immensely every single game. They worked hard in attack and defence and never gave up.

All teams chose to chase excellence, not settling for anything but there best and always looking to improve.

Great team work today BG, GO BARRAS!!!

BGSS at the U12 Bill Nettle Carnival
What a fantastic day of rugby league for our BGSS U12 team!
With several key players unavailable due to injury, illness and representative commitments, the team embraced the challenge and stepped up when it mattered most. Throughout the day, students demonstrated resilience, teamwork and determination while competing in four tough matches.
Some highlights included:
Tries to Sebastian, Parker, Daniel, Claire, Huxley and Cooper
Powerful runs from Josh, Huxley, Claire, Jesiah, Jack and Hunter
Strong defensive efforts from Evie, Max and Huxley
Most importantly, our players showed great sportsmanship, tried new positions, supported their teammates and continued to battle through adversity across the day.
A big congratulations to all players for representing BGSS with pride. We now look forward to developing the U12s Les Stagg Knockout Competition team and building the U10s with the Blackhawks Carnival in Term 3!
