Australian Cross Country Championships

Well done to our Year 8 student, Tyler Fynch, on representing Victoria at the Australian Cross Country National Championships held at Symmons Plains Raceway, Launceston, Tasmania, last Saturday.

The running conditions were very challenging with torrential rain, gail force winds and a muddy, slippery cross country course to navigate.

Tyler had a great run in the brutal conditions to finish fourth, and first Victorian across the line in the U15 4km.

Tyler also claimed bronze in the teams category for Victoria. Congratulations, Tyler, on your outstanding achievement!

Year 7 Girls Soccer

Having won the Mickleham Division, our year 7 Girls Soccer Team played in the Northern Metro Region playoffs, and put in a commendable performance. They defeated Wollert 2-0, with goals from Lucinda Bowen and Riley Smith, but narrowly lost to Thornbury 2-0. Their final match against Viewbank ended in a scoreless draw, despite some good chances. Isabelle Salinitri's impressive saves helped keep the team in the game. 

Overall, it was a solid effort from the team. Well done!

Year 8 Girls Basketball

On Monday 26 August, the Year 8 girls, coached by Tighe and Zara, competed in the Mickelham Division Year 8 Girls Basketball at Broadmeadows. The girls did really well all day, however, couldn’t quite make it through to the next round.

The team consisting of Arabella, Matilda, Nina, Lexie, Esme and Amelia achieved three wins and just one loss. Zara, the head coach commented: “Although the girls got off to a slow start, they showed a lot of improvement and had fun as the day continued. They fought hard all day

Esme noted: “I enjoyed the day a lot, and the coaches really helped the team and walked us through a lot of stuff we needed to know in the game. It was very fun watching other teams playing also.”

Matilda said: “It was a great day regardless of the end result, as we still went out had fun and tried our best. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without our coaches who impacted the way we played”.

The coaches and players would like to give a massive shout out to Ms White and Ms Chilton for making this day possible.

Year 8 Boys Basketball

The Year 8 boys had a good day out at Basketball in Broadmeadows on Monday. We started the day off strong with two consecutive wins against Edgar's Creek and Elevation Secondary College, making it all the way to finals! We unfortunately then lost to Wallan Secondary College in a tight match where the boys didn't stop fighting the whole match. 

Overall they played well and had fun and would definitely do it again.
