On Friday 2 August the Intermediate Girls Netball Team went to Macleod for the second round of the competition. Our first game was very tough and we went down by 10 against Hazel Glen College. Despite the score, all the girls persevered and played their hardest. The second game was challenging again, and we unfortunately lost by 9 against Preston College. After playing two games, we came together as a team and formed some great connections. The 3rd and final game was an amazing game to play. The game finished with a draw (20-20) against Macleod College. Despite being very tired, everyone put in 100% and played so well. It was a great day and we all had a lot of fun, even if we didn’t win. It was a great experience playing against some amazing players and teams.

On Wednesday 31 July I accompanied the Year 7 girls on a trip to Broadmeadows Basketball Stadium. Eager and ready, the girls played their first game. Three of our games were successful but unfortunately the one game we had to win to get to the grand final, we lost by 6 points!
It was disappointing, but the girls played such an amazing game and they all tried their absolute hardest. All the girls played really well together and listened to any advice on plays I gave them. Overall it was a great day!

On Monday 5 August the Senior Girls Soccer Team attended the Northern Metropolitan Regional Finals in Thornbury. The team played with a lot of heart, and won two of their three games. Sian Hooppell was a standout, scoring 6 goals for the day. Many of our team are in Year 11 so we are looking forward to what we can achieve in 2025

The Year 7 Boys Basketball Team had a blast playing in the Mickleham Division competition at Broadmeadows Basketball Stadium last Wednesday 31 July. They played four games and were coached by Year 10 students Ruben Hewitt and Jordan Baldwin. The Year 7 boys played amazingly and put on a stella performance, winning two games, and drawing two. The boys tried their hardest but sadly didn’t make it through to the next level of competition. Better luck next time.
