Year 3 - 6 District Athletics

We wish all students in from  Year 3 to Year 6 all the very best at the District Athletics on Wednesday. We know how hard they have been training under the direction of Mrs King before school and at lunchtimes on Thursdays and Fridays to prepare for their events. Thanks to Marjie King for running the training each week to make sure our students are ready. Thanks to all the staff who will be attending to support our students on the day. It is a wonderful opportunity for our students to compete against other schools in our district at the many and varied athletics events to build their skills. 

Parents you are most welcome to attend on the day at Doncaster Athletics Track, Rieschiecks Reserve, George St, Doncaster. Please arrive 30 minutes before your child's scheduled event to ensure you see them participating. 

Snowsports Report

Victorian Interschool Snowsports Competition

Last week, two of our students traveled to Mt Buller to compete in the Skiing and Snowboarding events at the Victorian Interschool Snowsports Competition—St Roch’s first-ever snowsports team, and both Louis Zhang and Tommy Phillips’ debut.

With over 190 schools competing across Victoria this event sees thousands of primary and senior school students competing for their school.

Louis Zhang (Grade 2) achieved an impressive 8th place in Ski Cross, earning him a spot in the Nationals (2025 Australian Interschool  Snowsports Championships) and 31st in Giant Slalom.

Tommy Phillips (Grade 4) competed in both Snowboarding Slalom, where he finished 18th, and Snowboard Cross, where he placed 16th. These results secured Tommy a place in the Nationals for both events. 

This will see them competing against students from across Australia who have qualified for the event during this week! Best wishes to Louis and Tommy!
