Western Region Athletics
Our results were excellent. As a school, we finished a fabulous 4th overall (out of 58 competing schools) behind Maribyrnong, Buckley Park and Belmont. Individually the large majority achieved personal bests. Trinity Skenderis, a massive PB, to win her 400 after being headed then fought back to win. Harvey Green, enormous PB of 10cm in high jump to win. 14yrs girls relay team - Trinity Skenderis, Gloria Win, Beatrice Dawo and Paskazia Muhindo - sensational win in the relay - More than a dozen others finished in the placings, including individual multiple placings. Some field event loses by only a cm or two. Really positive work by all the team. Well done. Off to the State final now, early next term.

School Sport Victoria Important Announcement
School Sport Victoria will provide both single and mixed gender, sporting competition opportunities in all their sports for all schools to enter. Effective immediately will be the replacement of Boys events, to now read Boys/Mixed in all sports for most age groups.
Please note School Sport Victoria place paramount consideration on safety for all students in all of these opportunities. Therefore, community sport rules put in place for the safety of participation for both genders will be adhered to. This will mean girls will be able to participate in Boys/Mixed competition for all sports across all age groups with the exception of the following sports where restrictions will apply:
Australian Football – Boys/Mixed for Years 7 and 8 competition single gender competition thereafter
Netball – Boys/Mixed for Years 7 and 8 competition single gender competition thereafter.
Please Note: the intent of this rule change is to either;
- ensure girls get an opportunity to participate when a school can’t enter a girls only event, or
- to ensure when limited numbers of boys available, that the boys can now participate in a boys/mixed event.
It is not the intention to limit boys participation or for schools to ‘load’ one team at the expense of boys participation and should only be a mixed team when addressing the above stated conditions.
