Year 8 Boys Cricket – Regional Final Bound!
The sun was shining bright on Monday, 19 October, and so were our Year 8 boys cricket team!
The boys had a fantastic day on the pitch, winning both of their matches against Hazelglen and Thornbury. Their hard work and determination paid off, securing their place in the Regional Final in November!
Congratulations to the whole team on this outstanding achievement. We wish the boys all the best as they prepare for the next stage of the competition!
Bring on the regionals!
Year 8/9 Girls Softball
On Wednesday, our Year 8/9 girls headed to Mill Park to compete in the softball round-robin competition. Although the girls lost both games, they showed fantastic sportsmanship, supported one another and remained encouraging and positive throughout the day.
Well done, girls! We are proud of the way you represented the school and demonstrated great teamwork and encouragement.
Baseball
Intermediate Baseball team won both their games today against Eltham and Greensborough to make it through to the next round.
The team put in a super effort and were supportive and encouraging of each other.
Special mention to Evangelynn who made a run in each of her innings, Jacob and Ben for pitching, Josh and Miles for catching and Evangelynn, Miles and Karsten for big hits and scoring home runs!
Thanks also to Jake for assisting and coaching on the day.
Table Tennis
Table Tennis for intermediate girls proved to be a day of increasing challenges. What started as a solid round robin to build confidence resulted in a progression into the final at the NMR level. The team, comprising of Sophie M, Helen L, Lucy L, Taylor S and Sahana S consistently stepped up and had a swing. Not ones to back away from a challenge, they stoically faced their opposition and after some hard fought rallies, where the power of their shots was measured in the beads of sweat dripping from their bat, they came out on top to win the blue ribbon. They now progress to state later in the term, once more into the breach.
Intermediate Girls Volleyball (2027)
Our Intermediate Girls Volleyball teams had a fantastic day on the court!
A Team: The girls battled hard, losing two games in nail-biting three-set matches before finishing on a high with a win in their third game!
B Team: The girls won two out of three games and finished the day as runners-up overall after winning their grand final! Although they won’t progress to the next round, they should be incredibly proud of their efforts.
Congratulations to both teams on a great day of volleyball! Your determination, teamwork and never-give-up attitude were fantastic to see. Well done, girls!
Year 8/9 Boys Volleyball
Our two expertly coached Year 8/9 boys volleyball teams had a fantastic day, going undefeated throughout their pool games!

Regional Intermediate Mixed Hockey
Our Intermediate Mixed Hockey team had a great day at the regional competition, winning two matches and losing one!
The team was well led by Miles P. and Chlo W., who did a fantastic job throughout the day. It was also great to see some first-time hockey players give it a go, work hard and improve their skills as the day progressed.
A special shout-out to Luke B. for his excellent work in goals in the heat, and to Hamish D., who bravely took a ball to the shin!
A big thank you to Josh Nelson for coaching the team, and well done to all the players for stepping up, giving it their best and supporting one another.
