HOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
Our House Athletics Carnival was held on Tuesday, 23rd of July and we were very fortunate to have a sunny day. It was pleasing to see the large number of students participating in track & field events, novelty events and house chants throughout the day. With so many events taking place simultaneously, combined with student supervision and food preparation and provision, I'd like to thank all staff and students who assisted.
At the conclusion of all events, Grevillea were this year's House winners.
1. Grevillea 1055
2. Acacia 986
3. Banksia 714
4. Waratah 592
Here is a breakdown of results and placings for individual events. Students who won each event have qualified for the upcoming Monash Division Athletics Carnival on Thursday, 5th of September.
THREE-DAY VOLLEYBALL SCHOOLS CUP
We entered one team into the three-day Volleyball Schools Cup, opting to compete in the higher Division 1 competition for this event. Despite being competitive in our preliminary matches, we were drawn in a three -team pool against the two teams who ended up playing off in the final and didn’t qualify for the finals matches. The team played an additional three matches, and played at a high level in patches, but struggled for consistency.
At the conclusion of the event, Eli Franzke was recognised as the MVP in the entire Division 1 competition. This will be the last time Eli represents the school in Volleyball, and it is worth acknowledging the significant contribution he has made as both a player and in coaching his peers. We wish him all the best as he continues to train hard and excel in this sport.

CONGRATULATIONS CAMPBELL BROWN
Congratulations to Year 10 student Campbell Brown who was recently selected to represent the Australian Under 17 Netball competition. This is an outstanding achievement by Campbell to be recognised as one of the best players in the country for his age group.
YEAR 10 BOYS REGIONAL NETBALL COMPETITION
On Monday 29th of July, our Year 10 team participated in the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Netball competition.
After being dominate in the Monash Division competition, we unfortunately suffered injuries to two of our best players in the week before the competition, preventing us from ‘putting our best foot forward’.
Whilst the boys still competed hard, they came away without a win from their three games. They will now look forward to the Gala Day in a couple of weeks and hope to have their full team available.
