Across the weekend of 15/16 February, four of our students represented the Macedon Ranges playing in the U18 MRBA team, competing in Division 1 of the Junior Country Championships held in Bendigo.
The team played with great heart all weekend showcasing their talent, determination, and teamwork. After five hard fought matches the team made it to the Grand Final which went into a nail-biting overtime, only to see them miss out on the win by just 4 points against the Ballarat team. The Junior Country Championships are a prestigious event on the country tournament calendar, hosted by Basketball Victoria. We congratulate the MRBA team, in particular our SHC boys on this fantastic achievement.
Year 10 student, Luke Cameron, has had a fantastic summer of cricket. Luke who plays in the 15&U Coburg team captained them to great success during the recent JG Craig Shield competition. Luke has also recently been invited to try out for the State 15&U cricket team.
Luke was listed in the top 30 of the best performers in the Herald Sun ‘s coverage of the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association - 2025 JG Craig Shield competition. Luke is predominantly a batsman but proved himself as an allrounder with his stunning hat trick ending the match. His listing in the top 30 reads: “Luke Cameron, Coburg – Enjoyed a stunning run with bat and ball. Hit two half-centuries and won a game with a hat-trick.” Herald Sun 15 January 2025.
Congratulations Luke, we look forward to following your sporting achievements.
Our students, brother and sister Tyler and Piper Fynch, won gold at the Victorian Country Championships held at Lar Birpa Athletics track in Bendigo on the Australia day long weekend.

The event was a great shakedown before the upcoming Victorian track and field championships held later this month at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park.
