Boroondara Division Soccer Day

Students in Year 5/6 compete in three sports during our weekly Winter Interschool Sports Season. Our boys/mixed soccer team won every game and thus were the North Balwyn District Small School Premiers for 2024. This qualified them to enter the Boroondara Division Soccer Finals which was held on Wednesday 31st July at Hartwell Sports Ground. Of the five schools competing, we were comfortably the smallest in terms of students attending the school - so we were defintely up for a chal,enge.

Our first two games against Mont Albert PS and Canterbury PS were closely fought but a few late goals in both games resulted in 3-0 losses. Our third game was a see-sawing affair that ultimately resulted in a narrow 3-2 loss to Ashburton PS. Our final game against Kew PS, again saw us fall behind 2-1 at half time. An inspired final effort saw us slot home 3 goals in the second half for a 4-2 victory.

These results saw the team finish in fourth place out of five schools. The whole team should be proud that they took it right up to every team including the eventual winners Canterbury PS. Congratulations to all the students who represented OHR so enthusiastically and respectfully on the day as well as quite a few other students who played games of soccer for the team during Interschool Sport this season.
