Bayside Christian College
CSEN Volleyball Tournament
On the 12th of October, Bayside sent two teams to the CSEN State Volleyball Tournament at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) for the first time.
Bayside competed in the Senior (Years 10-12) boys’ and girls’ divisions, playing four short round-robin matches before progressing to the finals bracket. Both teams played well, getting stronger and more confident with each passing match. Similarly, both teams won their quarter-final matches to progress to the final four. After losing their respective semi-finals, both teams went on to compete in the bronze medal matches.
In the girls’ semi-final, the team put up a fight, winning a set against the team that would eventually claim the gold medal. In the bronze medal match, the girls continued to fight until the end and although they narrowly missed out on a medal, they demonstrated resilience and outstanding support for one another throughout the tournament.
In the boys bronze medal match, the team lost the first set in the best of three. The second set got off to a similar start, being five points down over half way through. The boys then managed to turn it around, winning the set and the tie breaking third set to secure the bronze medal in an amazing comeback effort!

SIS Junior Girls Indoor Cricket: Term 3 Champions!
Congratulations to the SIS Girls Indoor Cricket team on winning the Term 3 Championship! The girls displayed fantastic teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the competition, capping off a successful term with a well-deserved Grand Final victory! The girls bowled first, restricting their opponents to 124 runs. Bayside then took to the crease and chased down the target, finishing on an impressive 149 runs from their 16 overs!
It was a fantastic team performance, with amazing catches, sharp fielding and some outstanding cricket shots that would make any cricketer proud. The girls pulled off five catches off the net, three stumpings and countless stolen runs between the wickets! What a brilliant effort and a well-deserved win!
A huge well done to captain Chloe Hoffman and team members Kelsey Slater, Tessa Milicic, Bella Uulf, Lacey Bolden, Emilia Stancy, Chantelle Karto, Edlin Binu, Georgia Harris, Winter Nixon, Hannah Black and Reese Caneva. A special mention to substitutes Kaity Trotter and Grace Dowling for their support. Congratulations to all the girls on this fantastic achievement. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves! - Mr Klan
