Junior girls soccer team go down in heroic effort
Last Wednesday the junior girls soccer team played their semi-final match against Dubbo South High School at the STO. Against a school with over 1000 students, the girls always knew they would be in for a tough match. After the first 10 minutes, it was evident that Dubbo were a very strong and well-disciplined team. They were camped out in front of our goal, but with determination and some luck, we were able to hold out. The game then changed slightly and we became a more fluent unit, getting our passes together and defending strongly. The girls were putting together a number of attacking raids down the left side and almost scored twice with only the keeper to beat. However, the inevitable occurred and Dubbo scored late in the first half to lead 1-0 at the break. The talk at half-time was positive and with a renewed vigour, the girls attacked the 2nd half strongly. We were now matching the Dubbo team, and although they were slightly more skilful our team led by Molly Statham were now beginning to win the 50/50 challenges with strong, physical soccer. It was no surprise when shortly thereafter, Emily Thomas scored a great goal for CHS. Despite chances for both teams, the score remained 1 all at full-time. Extra time followed with ‘Golden Goal’ being the decider. However, the extra challenge was after 5 minutes intervals, each team would lose a player. A tired bunch of girls would have to dig deep to keep going. Their efforts were outstanding. Great defense was followed by awesome attacking raids in which both teams had chances. After losing 4 players to the 5 minute intervals, Dubbo, on the back of a 5 minute non-stop attack finally blasted a great goal past our brilliant keeper Hailey Williams. Despite losing, our girls kept their chins up and were very happy with their efforts against the taller, older and more experienced opposition. This unit will continue to develop as they get older, and they should evolve into a very formidable team in the next year or so. Congratulations to a great bunch of lion-hearted girls.
A proud coach (Mr Jones)

Congratulations to our fantastic squash team – Bill, Lucas, Ryan and Sammy who have successfully moved to the State Finals after a great day in Parkes last week. These four have done a great job in representing our school. A massive well done also to our two soccer teams who last week gave their all in two every different games. The students did an amazing job on the field and were a true credit to our school. Last Wednesday night we had another break-in into the GA shed and TAS Timber and Metalwork rooms. Police attended and so have the forensic team who have been able to get some prints. Although it was great to get all the gear back on Friday the school will continue to install a security system as well as some security gates in the Timber and Metal area and look at ways to better secure the equipment inside in case of future visits.

Cabonne Council Visit
On Tuesday 25th May, Student Representative Council (SRC) representatives Rory Boland and Jackson Stacey attended the annual Youth Forum at Cabonne Council chambers in Molong. This event was an opportunity for students to raise issues of importance for the consideration of Council. Jackson and Rory did a fantastic job representing Canowindra High School, where they proposed that the local library be revamped to improve study facilities and provide an inviting space for students and the local community, as well as visitors to the town. The address was also livestreamed to the Council’s YouTube channel (so go check it out!) and all three schools spoke incredibly well. Well done Jackson and Rory, and thank you to the SRC for helping them to
select their focus.

Western Champions
Last Friday, Sammy Austin, Lucas Ellis, Ryan Ellis and Bill Harrison travelled to Parkes to participate in the Western Area Open Boys squash finals. They were prepared for a big day of squash knowing they had to play three teams coming from Gulgong, Parkes and Cowra. The boys started their campaign well de-feating Gulgong 3 matches to 1. Parkes were the next team in their line of fire and some fantastic squash saw them win again, 3 matches to 1. Cowra High were the last team for the boys to challenge, with Canowindra High taking the full round of wins 4-0. They are now in the NSW knockout looking to re enact their fantastic success from 2019. Two more knock-out wins will see them head to Wollongong to challenge in the state finals. Well done and Goodluck.
