There was story time and robotics, along with computer classes and colouring.

Read the full storyAfter a much-needed rest day, the wounded Gilroy squad faced Good Shepherd Mt Isa in a determined clash. Gilroy started strong, heading into halftime locked at 12-all. Mt Isa regained control early in the second half, maintaining a narrow lead until a promising line break by Shaun Devietti appeared likely to swing momentum back in Gilroy’s favour. However, a final pass to Jack Butcher was ruled forward by touch judge Jaidyn Spina, halting the comeback. Gilroy were unable to recover, eventually going down 20–12.
The final game of the carnival saw Gilroy face Chisholm Catholic College in a rematch of last year’s fixture. With only 14 players available, Gilroy were up against it from the start. Despite this, captain Shaun Devietti led by example, scoring two impressive tries. In the dying moments of the game, Nick Coco powered over the line to secure an 18–12 victory, ending the carnival on a high and doing the school’s Year 12 veterans proud.
Gilroy concluded the carnival with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The coaching staff expressed immense pride in the team's grit and determination, noting the players’ respectful conduct both on and off the field. Sincere thanks were also extended to the parents and supporters for their encouragement throughout the week.
In other sporting success, the Gilroy MTB Team delivered an outstanding performance at the Cycle de Vie Rockwheelers Interschool Mountain Bike Race in Townsville. The team of seven riders — Josh, Hayden, Hudson, Jessy, Rhys, Lucas and Justin — tackled their first-ever competition with impressive results, finishing 8th out of 27 schools and 213 riders.
Competing across enduro, downhill and trail events, the team demonstrated strong spirit, resilience, and teamwork throughout. Their dedication and unity stood out as they supported one another from start to finish. A big thank you goes to #KnightsMuscleTShirtPrintingIngham for providing the bold team shirts that helped the riders look as strong as they performed.
The teams now look ahead to their next challenges, fired up and ready!
