State Surfing Champions
A massive congratulations to the Dromana College Surf Team who won the the Mixed Tag Teams State Titles at Phillip Island on Friday 10th May. Winning a State Title in surfing has been rare for us and has only happened for the third time in the past 25 years or so. In very challenging conditions it was a great effort from the team and the victory was especially satisfying for our two year 12 students (their last opportunity to win a State Title), Jett Dickinson and Charlie Lucas, who led the way with exceptional surfing. The girls team did a fantastic job also, finishing third in the final.

On the 7th May 2019, 120 students went off to compete at Ballam Park in Frankston at the Southern Peninsula District Athletics Competition. Dromana College won the championship by 100 points. Going through the record book, it’s the first time Dromana has EVER won a major carnival at district level. All thanks to the amazing kids, and all the hard work they have put in. Well-done to all competitors and congratulations to the 65 students who have progressed onto the regional finals which will be held in October. Good luck, we are so incredibly proud of you all.
Aerobics
Congratulations to Dromana College students Ruby Armstrong and Millie Spargo for their fantastic aerobic performance!
These girls competed against the state in an aerobics competition “FISAF Australia Super Series – Victoria” on the 11th May in Hampton Park and won 1st place.
They were entered in the Elementary stream where they were taught the majority of a routine and worked hard together to choreograph their own beginning and ending. They were competing against other secondary schools and specialised aerobics clubs. They have been training hard for months leading up to this competition, including at school and in their own time on weekends. We are wishing them all the best for their future competitions. A massive thank you to Hayley Silvester who has been so dedicated to training all of these athletes and ensuring their routines are amazing.
Their next competition is on the 15th of June, where all of our Dromana College Aerobic Enhancement students will also be competing. If successful in this, the athletes will qualify for nationals, where they will compete against all of Australia.
And a big thank you to all the parents that have been transporting their children to and from school for the early mornings and late afternoon rehearsals.
Well done and good luck!
