On the Sporting Field

Strong Starts and Splashing Success

Mr Luke  Bahramis, Head of Sport

The summer sport season has started in terrific fashion for Kilvington, with our EISM teams making a strong early statement across multiple competitions. Both our Year 8/9 teams, along with our senior squads, have produced some outstanding results over the last few rounds.

At this stage of the season, an impressive eight Kilvington teams sit on top of their respective ladders. These include the Year 8/9 Boys 5-a-side Soccer, Year 8/9 Girls 5-a-side Soccer, Senior Girls Soccer, Senior Girls Tennis, Senior Boys A Basketball, Senior Boys B Basketball, Senior Girls A Basketball, and Senior Girls B Basketball teams.

In addition to these ladder leaders, a further twelve Kilvington teams currently sit inside the top four of their competitions. This is a fantastic achievement so far and reflects the commitment, teamwork, and effort shown by our students and coaches across the program.

Turning back time to February, Kilvington’s Senior School House Swimming Carnival made a splash with students diving in for a day of spirited competition and strong house pride. Swimmers across all year levels gave their best in the pool, cheered on by enthusiastic supporters whose energy created a lively carnival atmosphere from start to finish.

In the overall house results, Fysh emerged as the day’s champions with 641 points, also claiming the Junior Cup. Burman secured the Senior Cup after a strong performance across the senior events, highlighting the depth of talent and teamwork across the houses.

Individual excellence was also recognised through the Age Group Championships. Liana N. and Evan L./Francis D. were named U13 champions, while Jasmine Z./Inara K. and Lucas W. took out the U14 titles. Miriam C. and Ayden N. were crowned U15 champions, with Nanami W./Maggie H. and Lachlan G. winning the U16 division. In the Open category, Addi S. and Ben H. were recognised as champions for their outstanding performances in the pool.

Looking ahead, preparations are well underway for several key events on the Kilvington Sporting Calendar. Fresh off of House swimming - training has been in full swing for our EISM Swimming Team, with students showing great commitment at the Monday and Thursday morning sessions. The squad is shaping up strongly as they prepare to compete in Division 1 of the EISM Swimming Championships on Monday 23 March. We wish all members of the team the very best as they represent Kilvington.

To round out the term, we are also looking forward to the Kilvington House Athletics Carnival, which will take place at Duncan McKinnon Reserve on Monday 30 March. This is always one of the highlights of the sporting calendar, with plenty of house spirit, great competition, and strong student participation across the day.

Action-Packed Day at District Round Robin

Ms Michelle Ryan, Health and Physical Education Teacher

On Tuesday 10th March, our Years 5 and 6 students competed in their first Balaclava District Round Robin of the year. In the lead-up, our students attended Wednesday after-school practices and Friday morning training sessions to develop their skills and teamwork.

Teams travelled to different venues across the district to compete against seven other schools in Hockey 7s, Basketball (two teams), Cricket (two teams) and Volley Stars. With beautiful weather and plenty of enthusiasm, it was a fantastic day of sport for both students and coaches.

Congratulations to our Hockey 7s team, who won their tournament and will now progress to the Beachside Division later this year.

Well done to all students and staff for their effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship!
