Year 8 Sports Day 

On Wednesday the 24th of June, our Year 8 students went to Casey Stadium for their annual Year 8 Sports Day. Students got to participate in a range of different sports, including Netball, Soccer, Basketball and Volleyball.

The day was run by our Unit 1&2 Sport and Recreation students, who took on important leadership roles including umpiring, scoring and timekeeping throughout the event. 

A special thank you goes to our Darrabi boys, who assisted in coaching the teams. They did an outstanding job encouraging students to get involved, support one another, and compete with enthusiasm. Their leadership and positive attitude helped make the day a great success and fun for all.

Interschool sports

In Term 2, Kambrya College students proudly represented the school across a wide range of Interschool Sports, including AFL, Netball, Soccer, Basketball and Badminton. Our students achieved outstanding success, with Kambrya winning 15 different events across these sports.

In addition to our team sports, students also competed in several pathway and carnival events, including Division Cross Country, Regional Cross Country and State Swimming. These events provided students with opportunities to challenge themselves against some of the best athletes in the region and state.

We are incredibly proud of all students who represented Kambrya throughout the term. Their commitment, sportsmanship and determination were evident at every event, and they continue to be excellent ambassadors for our college.

VET Sport Aquatics & Recreation 

Richmond Institute Excursion 

Our Unit 3&4 students recently had the opportunity to visit the Richmond Football Club facility, where they gained valuable insight into career pathways within the sport and recreation industry. 

Students attended presentations on the Richmond Institute Dual Diploma Program and explored the range of opportunities available after they graduate. They also participated in a practical strength and conditioning session run by current Richmond Institute students, providing a firsthand experience of what it is like to be part of the program.

Athlete Development Program

Term 2 has been a busy one for students in the Athlete Development Program. Throughout the term, students participated in a number of incursions and excursions, giving them the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and experience different aspects of athlete development.

Students also received their ADP student packs, which included a personalised ADP t-shirt and bag. It has been fantastic to see students proudly representing the program both within the College and out in the community.

St Kilda Player Appearance Incursion 

On Thursday the 11th of June, the ADP students were fortunate to have Liam O’Connell and Tricia Cowan from St Kilda Football Club come to Kambrya for an engaging and inspiring session.

Liam, a 23-year-old AFL defender for St Kilda, shared his unique sporting journey from Ireland to Australia. After excelling in Gaelic football, Liam was recruited by St Kilda as a Category B Rookie in 2023 and is now at the beginning of his AFL career. During the Q&A session, students gained valuable insights into life as an elite athlete, the challenges of moving overseas to pursue a sporting dream, and the dedication required to compete at the highest level.

Students also had the opportunity to take part in a practical football session led by St Kilda VFLW player Tricia Cowan. Tricia ran an exciting 30-minute skills clinic, allowing students to develop their football skills while learning from a high-level athlete.

Elite ADP Air Locker Excursion 

On Monday the 22nd of June and Thursday the 25th of June, our Elite ADP students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a high-altitude training session at Air Locker Cranbourne.

Students took part in a specialised training experience designed to simulate the effects of training at altitude. The session provided valuable insight into how elite athletes use different training methods to enhance their aerobic capacity, cardiovascular fitness, and overall athletic performance.

Throughout the session, students learned about the science behind altitude training and experienced firsthand the physical demands associated with exercising in a reduced-oxygen environment. This unique opportunity allowed students to broaden their understanding of advanced training techniques commonly used by high-performance athletes across a range of sports.

Student Sporting Achievements

Grace Bocor was selected as part of the Victorian team competing at the Little Athletics Australia Championships in Brisbane in April. This was her first selection for a national competition and she finished 11th overall in Australia. She also set a new Cranbourne Little Athletics Centre record of 1.43m in March, a week after jumping 1.40m at the State Championships. What a fantastic achievement! 

Shaelee Kinsella, Sophie Cargill and Cataleya Taripo represented Casey at the Netball Victoria Central East Zone Association Championships. They had a huge day of netball in the rain and went undefeated all day, taking out the grand final against Chelsea NA. 

They then progressed to the Finals Day, competing against the other zone champions on the 21st of June. The girls ended up winning the grand final, making them the State Champions! This is a huge achievement; we are incredibly proud of the girls!
