Netball
Netball is a fun, fast-paced team sport that can be enjoyed at any age and across all levels of competition. It has a proud history at Good Shepherd, being one of the first sports played competitively at the College, with teams participating in the Noosa / Tewantin Netball Association Saturday morning competition for many years.
Today, girls and boys can compete in a range of local competitions as well as State Championships. Netball remains one of the College’s most popular sports, with more than 180 students involved each year.
Coaching/Player Development
Good Shepherd is proud to offer a strong netball pathway led by experienced and inspiring coaches. Our netball program is coordinated by Tamara Gabarrin, who has many years’ experience coaching netball and holds an Intermediate Coaching qualification, while Head Coach Miller Page brings elite-level experience as a current member of the Australian Under 20 Netball Squad and Training Partner with Sunshine Coast Lightning.
We currently offer several training and development programs across the many levels of netball played at Good Shepherd, ensuring students are supported in building their skills, confidence and game understanding. Our wider program is also strengthened by a dedicated network of parent volunteers who assist as coaches and managers in Saturday competitions.
Students have the opportunity to trial for District teams, providing pathways to Regional and State representation. Good Shepherd has a proud history of developing talented athletes, including past players Emma Tickner (NSW Swifts) and Keirra Trompf (Queensland Firebirds). More recent graduates continuing their netball journey include Jada Delaney, now a Training Partner with Sunshine Coast Lightning, and Ellie Brice, a member of the Futures Brisbane Firebirds team, and of course our coach Miller Page as mentioned above.
