Flourishing students 07 Nov 2025 San Sisto College, Carina host this year's BCE Minecraft Esports Gala Day ©Brisbane Catholic Education (2025). 34 Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) student teams were ready and rearing to Capture the Flag at this year’s BCE Minecraft Esports Gala Day, hosted by San Sisto College, Carina (Thursday 6 to 7 November). Using Minecraft Education, students used pure brain power in a world that is all blocks, to capture as many flags as possible before their time is up! The FUSE Cup ran this year’s competition, taking the games to the next level. San Sisto College, Carina Year 11 student Caitlain said, “BCE’s Esport competition appealed to me because I love to play games”. “It was an opportunity for me to represent my school, and do it in a way that was fun,” she said. “I got to learn new things and compete against real people.” BCE’s Senior Advisor Learning and Experience Ange Barton said, the game is a full-on player versus player tournament where strategy is key to victory. “Students have been practicing and strategising their game plan for months,” she said. “From leadership to strategic direction, BCE students have the opportunity to explore their talents in what has become a booming global industry.” Ange adds, “at BCE, we acknowledge that our 77,000 students have different interests”. “BCE students have the opportunity to take part in whole of system competitions like Rugby 7’s, and STEM MAD, so why not Esports?” she said. “Esports is so much more than just a game, it allows students the opportunity to bring their personal strengths to the table and learn new skills. “From building future focused skills in strategy, problem-solving, negotiation, and teamwork, Esports prepares students for our ever-changing world.” Ange said, a large part of the competition this year was the promotion of healthy gaming habits. “What sets BCE’s Esport competition apart is that students are in competition against other gamers who are in the same room as them, not just someone online,” Ange said. “Our competition is safe, structured, supervised, supportive, social, inclusive and values focused.” FUSE Cup Chief Operating Officer Dan Martinez said, “FUSE is extremely proud to be delivering The BCE Minecraft competition this year”. “Our competition is designed to be safe, structured, supervised, supportive, social, inclusive and values focused,” he said.
