Regional Athletics

On Thursday, 13 of our Year 5 and 6 students represented the College at the SSV Regional Athletics Championship, showcasing the strength of athletics talent across our school. Competing against students from across the region, they competed to a high level against some extremely talented athletes. 

A special congratulations goes to Ramiro V, who has qualified for the State Championships this week in the 200m. This is an excellent achievement and a great opportunity to compete against some of the best school-aged athletes in Victoria.

Archie B - Basketball

Congratulations to Archie B (Year 5) has enjoyed an exciting period in his basketball development, earning selection in the SSV Under 12 Basketball Squad as a bottom-age player. This is a significant achievement, particularly given he is competing against players who are a year older. Archie has been training regularly with the squad, embracing the high level of intensity and the opportunity to further develop his skills against talented players. His commitment to these sessions is an important part of his ongoing development and provides valuable experience at a representative level.

Adding to an exciting period for Archie, he has also recently been selected for Basketball Victoria's Future Development Program. This provides another opportunity to continue refining his game and build on the foundations he is establishing through school and representative basketball.Archie was also a key member of our Years 5/6 Basketball team, which recently competed in the Divisional Final, narrowly missing out on progressing through to Regionals. 

It has been fantastic to see him contribute to the College's basketball program while continuing to progress through representative pathways. It will be exciting to watch Archie's basketball journey continue to unfold, and we look forward to following his development in the years ahead.

Cheer 

Our Overnewton cheer teams enjoyed another successful competition at All Star Battles over the weekend, with strong performances across all divisions.The Angels were once again excellent, taking out the Primary School Division, while the Royals delivered a dominant performance to win the Secondary School Division before being crowned Grand Champions. The Rays also competed strongly, finishing fourth in their division.

Congratulations to all three teams on their performances and the hard work that has gone into their preparation throughout the season.

With Nationals approaching at the end of the month, our teams will now turn their attention to their final preparations as they look to build on their success.
