Southern SATIS Soccer Finals Gala

Congratulations to all members of Team sVc who participated in the Southern SATIS Soccer Finals Gala on Wednesday 25 September at Warrior Park.

There were some amazing skills and determination on show throughout the afternoon and into the evening, however, it wasn't our day, losing all three finals.

Year 7 Div 2 - MacKillop 1 defeated sVc Gold 0

Year 8 Div 1 - MacKillop Blue 1 defeated SVC Blue 0

Year 9 Div 1 - Friends' Blue 3 defeated SVC Blue 0

Thank you to Olympia F.C. Warriors for hosting the finals and to SATIS and all match officials.

Lastly, a big shout out to our dedicated staff who coached the boys throughout the term and turned up yesterday in numbers to support our students.

We now look forward to the first week of Term 4 when the Year 7 Div 1 final between SVC Blue and Hutchins Black will be played at Warrior Park. Details to be confirmed.

State SATIS Swimming

Well done to Team sVc at last week's State SATIS Swimming Carnival conducted in Hobart. All students gave their all and represented the College with pride.

With lots of close places across the board for students, the highlight of the day was Year 12 Student Athlete Samuel Nadler (in his last representative carnival for the College) taking out the win in the Open 50m Freestyle in a hotly contested race. Sam also finished 2nd in the 100m Free and 3rd in the 50m Fly. A great last meet for Sam.

The U16 4 x 50m Freestyle Relay including Riley Stocks, Oliver Byrne, Harry Costello and Charlie Cubit also took the win in a fantastic race.
