Term 4 Sports

Term 4 was an exciting and highly successful term for Warrandyte High School in interschool sports. Our students shone in the regional finals, with Year 8 teams competing strongly in Hockey, Volleyball, and Athletics regional finals.

In addition, all Year 7 and 8 students had the opportunity to take part in a Gala Day. This special event introduced them to a variety of sports they might not usually experience, encouraging new skills, teamwork, and a love for physical activity.

Year 7 & 8 Gala Day

The recent Gala Sports Day was a resounding success for our Year 7 and 8 students, showcasing Warrandyte High School's talent, teamwork, and sportsmanship in every event.

Warrandyte entered an impressive seven teams in the handball competition, with three teams emerging as grand final champions - The year 8 Boys, Year 8 Girls (with an outstanding performance with an average winning margin of 27 points and a dominant 34-point victory in the grand final!) and the Year 7 Girls.

Every team gave their all, encouraging one another and demonstrating the perfect balance of competitiveness and respect. The Year 7 and 8 Frisbee teams also had an incredible day. For many, it was their first competitive experience in the sport, but their rapid improvement, teamwork, and enthusiasm were truly inspiring. Congratulations to all our Year 7 and 8 students for their hard work, positive attitudes, and sportsmanship. You have made Warrandyte High School proud!
