Jake Beams

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Student Athlete Jake Beams on his remarkable selection for the National Futures Boys match, set to take place at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on AFL Grand Final Day.

This prestigious event represents an incredible opportunity for Jake to highlight his exceptional skills and athleticism on a national platform as he gears up for the AFL draft in 2027. His hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and we are excited to see him shine under the spotlight.

Year 9 Umpire Assistance 

Thank you to the incredible group of 14 Year 9 students who stepped up to serve as AFL umpires during last week's SPSSA Representative Winter Football Carnival held at Cadbury's Ovals.

The feedback the College received from players, coaches, and parents alike was overwhelmingly positive. Every member of this impressive team handled their responsibilities, whether as field, boundary, or goal umpires, with remarkable poise and professionalism. Their enthusiasm and commitment to the game truly shone through, making a significant impact on the event.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Garry Dunne from Umpire AFL Tasmania for the invaluable training he provided last term, as well as for his ongoing support and guidance throughout the day.

Well done, boys! Your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.
