Southern SATIS Soccer Final

Congratulations to Team sVc, winners of the Year 7 Div 1 SSATIS Soccer Competition on Wednesday, defeating The Hutchins School 4-1 in a pulsating final. The level of skill and teamwork on display from both sides was nothing short of outstanding. The future of sVc Football (Soccer) is certainly in good hands.

Well done boys and thank you to Olympia F.C. Warriors for hosting the final and to the match officials.

Tennis

Congratulations to Year 8 Student Athlete Charlie Marsden who just finished up a solid week of Tournament play in Burnie over the holidays, competing in the Burnie Open and Rafa Nadal Tour events.

Some great results for Charlie in making the final of the Rafa Nadal Tour U14 Boys comp, going down 6-4, 6-4 against a much higher ranked opponent from the mainland (and narrowly missing a chance to play in Melbourne leading up to the Australian Open in January).

Well done Charlie. Keep reaching for the stars!

Touch Football

Congratulations to the St Virgil's College students who participated in the Touch Football Tasmania National Championships in Coffs Harbour over the holiday break.

Triathlon

Congratulations to Year 7 Student Athlete Finlay Child who has been selected in the Tasmanian Team for the AusTriathlon State Pathway.

In January, Finlay will head to a training camp in Bridport, with other Tasmanian State Pathway Members, before heading to the Gold Coast for the Australian Youth and Junior Super Sprint Championships.

Being part of this pathway will allow Finlay to not only race at a National level and improve and develop his skills but will learn about nutrition and good sportsmanship.

Finlay will also be representing the College at the High Schools Triathlon Challenge at Bellerive next month.

Best of luck Finlay!

And we wish all of the 29 sVc students that have been nominated to participate in the High Schools Triathlon Challenge at Bellerive Beach on Thursday 28 November.
