District Athletics

On Tuesday September 5, 20 students represented the college at the Knox Division Athletics Carnival held at Proclamation Park in Ringwood. The weather was not kind to us throughout that day with students having to battle head winds, rain and hail at times as them competed. Our students represented the College with pride as they completed in a range of track and field events, with many students placing in one or more of the events in which they competed; a comprehensive list can be seen below.

What an exciting day! 

Thursday 31 August saw our Year 7 boys Basketball team participate in the interschool sport day at Dandenong Stadium. They won two of out of three games and qualified for the finals. They then won the semi-final in their division and went on to play Fairhills, unfortunately they lost. 

It was great to see the camaraderie displayed by these students as well as their determination to do their absolute best.  They were exemplary ambassadors for our school. Thanks to David Grace for his excellent coaching on the day.

Congratulations to the team who attended training sessions Thursday lunchtimes prior to the day ably coached by Year 11 students, Anthony Calkin and David Grace.
