Sandhurst Athletics Carnival
Unfortunately this year we did not have a whole school CSC Athletics carnival. This was due to the construction still being undertaken at Wesley Hill.
The CSC athletics Carnival will be back bigger and better in 2019!
In its place we held Sandhurst Athletics trials to create a team of students to compete in Bendigo. There was a great turnout of students trialling for these positions here at school.
From the Trials we formed a squad of 37 students who came to the Sandhurst Athletics on Friday 14th September. All students tried their best with many great results. We congratulate those students who won their events and will represent the school at the Loddon Mallee Finals early in term 4. It was also great to see four CSC students win the overall age group champions.

Shakira Williams – AFL - Indigenous All Nations Vic U 15 Football Squad
Shakira Williams was one of three in the Central Victorian AFL tryouts to accept and actively participate in the VICTORIA AFL Indigenous All National Under 15 Squad. This involved Shakira participating in a Kick Start AFL pathway program at Parkville, Melbourne. The training included fitness testing, ball handling, tackling and kicking skills.
At the end of the camp, Shakira played a game in the forward and defence exhibiting her skills in attacking the football, reading the play and staying on her opponent . Her team won 64 to 58.
Shakira met a diversity of young girls from Indigenous and multi -cultural backgrounds as well as learning and being recognised by AFL Kick Start program officials. It was a positive learning experience for Shakira that she will be able to share with her peers.
