During the Term 1 School Holidays, the St James’ Anglican School girls’ and boys’ soccer teams travelled to the Gold Coast to compete in The Southport School Football Tournament.
After weeks of dedicated training outside school hours, both teams arrived ready to test themselves against schools from across Australia and New Zealand.
The girls’ team faced strong competition throughout the tournament. While results did not always go their way, the players showed great determination, resilience and team spirit in every match. They maintained a positive attitude, supported one another and embraced the opportunity to compete at a high level.
The boys’ team enjoyed an outstanding tournament, finishing as runners-up after a series of consistently strong performances. Their teamwork, commitment and skill were evident throughout the competition, earning them well-deserved recognition.

Beyond the results on the field, the tour was a valuable opportunity for students across year groups to connect. Through shared experiences, St James’ students strengthened friendships, formed new bonds and created plenty of lifelong memories.
