THE Trish Buckley Volleyball Competition concluded on Friday, June 6, with the Year 7 Boys playing off in the Gold Medal match.
The Year 7 Boys were dominant throughout the four-week competition, dropping only a single set—against Caloundra 1 in a tight game in round 2.
In the Grand Final, they faced Caloundra again and delivered a composed, high-quality performance to claim the gold medal.
Their win marks only the third time a GCC team has taken out gold in the Year 7 division, a testament to their hard work and the excellent coaching of Tina Drews and Carrie Shaw, who have supported the team’s development since Year 6.
A special mention goes to Ryder Shaw for finishing as the MVP of the tournament.
In the overall standings, Glasshouse Christian College finished 3rd, behind Caloundra SHS (1st) and Burnside SHS (2nd), and ahead of Mountain Creek SHS (4th).
Final Results for GCC Teams:
Year 7 Girls GCC1 – 5th place
Year 7 Girls GCC2 – 4th place
Year 7 Boys – 1st place (Gold)
Year 8 Girls – 3rd place
Year 9 Girls – 7th place

Congratulations to all GCC teams on their outstanding efforts and excellent sportsmanship.
