Strength, Teamwork and Resilience: Sport teams continue to thrive
Soccer Competition
Tough conditions for winter sport but our teams continue their success
Boys Netball
On Friday 28th July our Junior and Intermediate Boys Netball teams competed in the Northern Metropolitan Regional finals. Thank you to Luke Williams who coached both teams during the many training sessions at school and on the day. Thanks also to Mr Price who went out with the team.
Junior Girls and Intermediate Girls Netball
On Monday 31st July our Year 8 and Intermediate teams competed in the Netball Schools Championship Cup. It was a great day with the girls competing against schools from across Victoria. I think that the girls would agree that it was a great experience of playing quality competitive netball all day. Thank you to our parent helper Susie Stafford who helped out with scoring and cheering for both teams.
Regional Finals
Well done to our Intermediate, Year 8 and Year 7 Football Teams and our Intermediate Soccer team, who in Week 3 competed in the Regional Finals. All teams played competitive matches in cold, wet and windy conditions. Thank you to our student and staff coaches and students who put in many early morning training sessions. See the match report attached from Year 10 student Jonathon Zapantis for a description of the action!
Intermediate Girls Soccer
In cold and wet conditions our Intermediate Girls Soccer team competed in the Regional Finals on August 3rd at Ross Straw Fields. The girls combined well together to have 3 wins in their pool against Gladstone Park, St Helena and Lalor. This put the girls through to the final to play against the winner of Pool A – University High School. Our girls put up a tough fight but Uni High was too strong on the day. Well done girls!
Senior Boys Basketball
Congratulations to our Senior Boys Basketball team who competed in and won the Regional Competition yesterday. The boys got off to a slow start with a tough match in the beginning against before they got their momentum the boys ended up with straight wins in their pool the boys then played off against Greensborough in the Final where they had an easy win to become Northern Metro Regional Champions. They now move through to the State Final at MSAC on September 19. Thank you to Mr MacIndoe for coaching the boys and Mr O’Shea for going out with them on the day.
Year 7 Girls Soccer
A big congratulations also goes out to our Yr 7 Girls Soccer team, who sailed straight through the Divisional Competition without having to a play game. Coming to the Regionals and never having played together may have seemed daunting, but the girls took it in their stride and formed together beautifully to come away with straight wins through to the final. In the final they were up against NHS rivals Melbourne Girls College. Once again our girls came out strong, and continued to do so throughout the match to come away with a 3-0 win and the title of Northern Metropolitan Champions. The girls now move through to the State Final at Kingston Heath on September 15. The girls should be commended on their teamwork and sporting attitude throughout the day. Thank you to Holly Frances and Ella Baxter for coaching the girls along the way and for Rosie Thyer and Sarah Coffey for coaching the girls on the day.
