On Friday 7 March, Simon, Eamon, Jacob, Angus, and Jordan traveled to Hume Tennis Club to compete against schools from across the region.
The boys had a fantastic day, playing some great matches. They played really well throughout the day, with many close games, and made it to the final, where they just missed out on the win by the slightest of margins. Congratulations to them all on a great effort!

The girls also travelled to Craigieburn on 7 March to play in the Intermediate Girls School Tennis Tournament. It was a hot day but there was a great atmosphere and all the schools were friendly and great to play against.
We won all of our matches despite having to forfeit sets due to not having a fourth player. We are now through to the next round!

The Girls Cricket Team participated in an interschool competition against Kyneton High School. Even though we unfortunately lost, we all played well, as some of the girls were new to cricket. It was fun to play with friends and enjoy the day off school. We were grateful for the opportunity to participate, and it was good to see lots of people involved. Rosie was the star with one wicket and Freya and Rosie made 46 runs together!

The Year 8 Boys Cricket Team had an eventful day, showcasing their skills and determination across two challenging matches. They achieved a mixed set of results that ultimately led to a third-place finish in their group.
Game 1 vs Hume Grammar - Scores: Hume Grammar 3/36, Sacred Heart 4/30
In the first match, Hume Grammar batted first, posting a score of 36 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Sacred Heart then batted and posted a score of 30 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Despite Lucas Zylan's impressive batting, Sacred Heart's run chase proved to be insufficient, and Hume Grammar won the game. This was a hard-fought game, but the result went to Hume Grammar.
Game 2 vs Mount Ridley - Scores: Sacred Heart 1/44, Mount Ridley 6/23
The team responded strongly in their second game against Mount Ridley. This time, the batting performance was very impressive, with Sacred Heart scoring 44 runs for the loss of only 1 wicket. The bowlers then delivered an excellent performance, restricting Mount Ridley to just 23 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. This dominant display secured a well-deserved victory for the team.

The girls travelled to Epping and play three matches. We won our first 2 games by two sets. Unfortunately, we lost the last game to Mickleham. Overall, all the girls had a great day. Special thanks to Ms Hardham and Mr G for supporting the day.

The Year 8 boys participated in the interschool volleyball tournament at Epping Recreation Centre. They played three games throughout the day. The first game they played was against Kyneton Secondary College, where they were able to secure victory. The other two games were against Mickleham and Elevation College and despite giving it their best they were unable to prevail. Overall it was an enjoyable day and a great opportunity to represent our College.
