Division Grand Finals

Last week, our Year 5/6 Boys Softball and Kanga Cricket teams competed in the Divisional Finals, following successful seasons in the District competition. Both teams performed to an exceptional level and came away victorious against some excellent competition. These teams have now qualified for Regional finals which will take place in the coming weeks. This is a fantastic result and we congratulate all involved in these teams.

We also acknowledge our Basketball Red Boys and Girls, Softball Blue Girls and Hot Shot Mixed Red teams, who enjoyed fantastic seasons and performed to a high level in their finals. While they did not progress beyond the District stage, their efforts throughout the season were outstanding. Well done to all our Year 5/6 Sport teams on a successful Divisional Finals day of competition. We look forward to you continuing your sporting journey next year.

VSAC Athletics

Overnewton students recently represented the College as part of the ACS squad at the VSAC Athletics competition, competing against some of Victoria’s leading school athletes.

The event provided a high standard of competition, bringing together talented athletes from across the state. Our students performed admirably throughout the competition, representing both Overnewton and the ACS with distinction.

Competing at this level also provided a valuable opportunity for students to experience the standard required at the highest levels of school athletics. It offered a clear insight into what elite school competition looks like and an opportunity to learn from competing alongside some of the state’s best athletes. Congratulations to the below students involved on their efforts and for representing the College so well.

Futsal

Our Under 12 and Under 14 Boys and Girls Futsal teams competed at the School Futsal Championships this week, with all four teams producing strong performances against quality opposition. The Under 12 Girls went undefeated throughout the group games before narrowly missing out on a place in the final after a tight semi-final defeat. Similarly, the Under 14 Girls faced a strong Western Heights team in their semi-final, pushing their opponents throughout the match before going down 6–3.

Both the Under 12 Boys and Under 14 Boys enjoyed successful days, progressing through the competition to reach their respective finals. Despite their efforts, both teams were narrowly defeated, finishing as runners-up after strong campaigns. Across all four squads, students continued to demonstrate improvement throughout the day, gaining valuable experience against competitive opposition. We look forward to building on these performances and continuing to develop our Futsal squads in the coming seasons.
