Golden Circle Fun Run
Fraser Coast Anglican College's Runaway Success
On Friday August 10th 2007, 400 students and staff from Fraser Coast Anglican College held a Golden Circle Fun Run and raised $1511.10 in vital funds for their school.
Students pounded the pavements seeking sponsorship from family, friends and members of the local community in order to raise money for Fraser Coast Anglican College. Thanks to their enthusiasm and hard work, extra funds are now available to provide new resources at the school.
Fraser Coast Anglican College's highest fundraiser was Kurtis Lawson who put in a fantastic effort and raised $112.90 for the school.
Fun Run organiser Tony Tregaskis is extremely proud of the way the students rallied behind the fundraiser. Tregaskis encouraged and motivated the students to ensure a fun filled day with profitable results.
Rebbecca Kent from Golden Circle School Fun
Runs said "The students at Fraser Coast Anglican College have made a tremendous effort to support their school."
Fraser Coast Anglican College benefits from the fundraising event by retaining 50% of all funds raised and an additional 30% which provides incentive prizes for the students. Each student raising $10 or more recieved a prize of their choice. This ensures students are rewarded for their effort and support.
Every student will receive a refreshing and yummy Golden Circle Juicy Ice Stick for their fantastic effort!
The Golden Circle School Fun Run program provides an avenue for schools and community groups to raise money and at the same time encourages students to participate in healthy outdoor activities - so thank you to all who made this event a huge success.
Congratulations Fraser Coast Anglican College!

Fraser District Cross Country Trials
On Tuesday 15th May over 100 students from ages 13 to Opens represented Fraser Coast Anglican College at the Fraser District Cross Country trials at the Wide Bay TAFE College.
A good day for a run, the weather was perfect, without being too hot considering some age groups were to run in the middle of the day. The track was slightly soft underfoot, not too boggy, after a few days of local rain.
This year we had a strong contingent from the 13 year old Year 7’s. This can be quite a daunting prospect for these students to mix it with the “big kids”, but they well and truly held their own and were strong contributors to the overall team effort, with some bringing in very commendable placings.
Some Yr 9 students sacrificed a morning at camp and came back to Hervey Bay especially for the event. Thanks to Mr Bob Wicks for transporting the students and helping the team.
The big challenge this year was to defend our reigning title of District Champions for the sixth consecutive year and to gain back the Senior Championship from Urangan High School. Tough competition, traditionally from Urangan, however this year Xavier College was an unknown and Maryborough SHS appeared to be placing consistently in various age groups.
Placegetters in 2007 were Declan Wharton 3rd, Kia Middleton 1st, Deziree Roos 4th, Rebecca Taylor 6th (13yrs); Nicholas Williams 10th, Bonnie Barr 3rd, Rachael Wicks 8th, Megan Edwards 10th (14yrs); Ben Andrews 4th, Kyle Murphy 6th, Brenton Wagstaff 10th, Nerida Karlen 2nd, Samantha Fitzgerald 4th, Dannii Martin 5th (15yrs); Nikki Rudd 4th, Georgina Baumann 5th, Amy De Jong 7th, Bonnie Williams 9th (16yrs); Tyson Martin 2nd, Carl Hoffman 3rd, Tom Pitts 6th, David McCawley 7th, Kelly Daly 2nd, Elyza Codner 6th, Rachael Davie 9th (Open).
Seventeen FCAC students qualified to represent Fraser District in the upcoming Wide Bay Trials to be held in Murgon on 29th May.
Final scores found FCAC Champions in all Divisions, Junior, Senior, Percentage and Overall Champions with a clear margin of nearly 300 points. Congratulations to all team members for all their work on the day and in the weeks leading up to the trial. Special thanks and well done to coaches Tony Tregaskis and Glen Walker for their dedication in running the twice weekly early morning training sessions. There was a fantastic sight for the whole school when the victorious team arrived back on to the front lawn of the College to give a rousing “War Cry” and to proudly show off their trophies.
Lastly in good tradition the 2007 GUTS (Giving Utmost Talent and Skill) awards, given to those who go above and beyond the call, this years winners: Declan Wharton, Sharon Davies, Nicholas Williams, Rachael Wicks, Matt Peacock, Dannii Martin, Kurtis Mitchell, Nikki Rudd, Bonnie Williams, Carl Hoffman and Rachael Davie.
Well done TEAM. IGNITE THE SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!

Hervey Bay Zone Cross Country
On Thursday 10th May, 36 students ranging from Year 3 through to Year 7 represented Fraser Coast Anglican College at the Hervey Bay Primary Zone Cross Country Trials. The trials were hosted at FCAC and the Primary House Captains as well as some of the 13 year old students worked extremely hard on the day helping to set up the course and man the water stations. All of the schools within Hervey Bay as well as a team from the Isis District attended the trials. Depending on the students age they ran distances of either 1.5km, 2.0km or 2.5km. All of the FCAC students representing their College put in a tremondous effort and should be very proud of themselves and their achievements. The following students placed in the top five and will be attending the Wide Bay Trials later this month in Murgon.
Lachlan Baldwin (9yo boys) 1st. Lachlan will have to wait until next year for Wide Bay, as trials begin at age 10.
Blake Baldwin (10yo boys) 3rd.
Amber Maxwell (11yo girls) 3rd.

Inter House Cross Country 2007
On what turned out to be very hot and trying conditions, over 300 secondary and some primary students competed in the Inter House Cross Country on Friday 20th April.
Can Orion defend their 2006 title or once again will another house be able to wrench a championship from the mighty Orion?
Congratulations to all participating students for getting out and having a go. Both the 3 and 4 km courses were challenging on the day in the hot conditions. House spirit was strong with resounding war-cry’s throughout the morning and students and staff alike cheering their competitors over the line.
Celebrity runners this year showed that “seniority’” is no barrier. Mark Shields gave the 13 year old group a 2 minute head start and had a great battle down the finishing straight to be narrowly beaten by Lachlan McNeven into 6th position. Glen Walker had to wait one long minute before taking on the 14 and 15 year old boys and 14 year old girls. He managed to rein in almost all of the field finishing in 7th place. In the 16 years and Open boys past student Adam Van den Born and FCAC Principal Tony Wood took up the challenge. Students and celebrities started together and after one lap of the course Tony Wood was in second position, chasing down a fast running Tyson Martin. Tony did well to hold off a number of challenges but succumbed to David McCawley in the final lap to finish a commendable third. Adam finished strongly in 4th position. Our thanks go to these celebrity runners for their effort and spirit in joining in. The challenge to the students is to beat the celebrity runner home for bonus house points.
Students that finished in the top 10 have been selected in the school cross country team to
help defend our title as District Champions at the Fraser District Secondary Cross Country Championships.

Matthew Flinders Anglican College Sport Exchange
On Friday 23rd February Fraser Coast Anglican College travelled to Buderim on the Sunshine Coast to participate in what is hopefully to become an annual sport exchange. Matthew Flinders visited FCAC last year.
Just over 100 FCAC students participated in this event competing in Boys Hockey, U15 and Open Rugby union, U15 and Open Netball (2 teams), Girls and Boys Touch and Tennis.
Matthew Flinders proved to once again be a tough contender in all sports with narrow losses for all teams with the exception of Hockey, which drew. All our students did well with many having to play at a standard much higher than what we are used to, bringing out the best in all. MFAC are nearly double our size in numbers (and height for some sports!!) and are always going to be a force to contend with.
Most Valuable Players Awards were given to the following students:
Tennis - Brenton Wagstaff
Hockey - Boma Dede
Netball - U15 - Yasmeen Chou Lee
Netball Open A - Nikki Rudd
Netball Open B - Laura Braun
Touch - Girls - Christie Verbruggen
Touch - Boys - David Parry
Rugby Union - U15 - Kyle Murphy
Rugby Union Open - Peter Richardson
Overall a successful exchange and one we hope to continue in the future with Matthew Flinders visting FCAC again in 2008. Many thanks to Adam Ridgewell from MFAC for his organisation and hospitality and to the Sport Staff of FCAC for their support.
