Student Achievement
Noorat Shoot Report
28 August
On Thursday August 22nd, four students from Damascus College made to trip to Noorat to represent the College in the South West Zone Regional Schools Clay Target Championship. The event attracted schools from across regional Victoria with a total of 260 students competing. The event required students to shoot in a Down the Line (DTL) clay target discipline, students where required to shoot in 2 rounds at 10 targets using single barrel.
The students represented the college in a competitive and sportsman like manner. On the day, the best shooters from the College were a tie between Bella Mahar and Casey Leonard both managing 9 targets each, closely followed by Darcy Smits and Denny Mahar.
Students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to compete at clay target shooting, the event finished with the overall championship and awarding of medals presentation from Paris Olympic bronze medallist in clay target shooting Penny Smith. Penny won this event in 2011 and spoke about the opportunities this sport offers students and encouraging females in the sport.
I would like to thank the support of parents and Brent Evans (Maintenance Staff) who assisted with supervision and encouraging of students throughout the day.
