Staff versus Students - Students do it again with volleyball win

After their 13–7 basketball victory in Term 2, the Year 12 students have done it again, this time taking out the win in the latest Staff vs Students Volleyball match.

On Thursday 31st July, the College gym was full of excitement as the Staff vs Students Volleyball match took place. These competitions happen each term and are a fun tradition that brings together our Year 12 students and staff for a thrilling and friendly game.

Both teams brought plenty of enthusiasm and skill to the court, but the students came out on top once again. With sharp reflexes, quick teamwork and some absolutely standout plays, they managed to outplay a determined staff team and secure another well-earned win.

Congratulations to the students for back-to-back victories and a big thank you to everyone who played or came along to support.

Pakenham Warriors Basketball Development Program returns in Term 4 for Year 7 students

Our Pakenham Warriors Basketball Program will pause during Term 3 and return at the beginning of Term 4 as a Year 7 only program. It will run on Wednesday mornings from 7:45am to 8:30am in the College gym and is completely FREE.

The program will be led by an experienced coach, who is also a championship player, from the Pakenham Warriors Basketball team. Students simply need to bring runners and a water bottle to participate.

Sign ups for the program will open later this month. A notice will be sent out via social media and in the Compass Newsfeed to all Year 7 families.

Year 7 Netball program

Our popular Year 7 Netball program continues this term every Thursday from 7:30am until 8:30am in the gym. The sessions are led by highly respected coach David Sollberger from the Pakenham Lions Netball club, with support from Ms Rhodes-Anderson, who has years of experience in Netball competitions.

The program is open to all Year 7 students and newcomers are welcome to join at any time, whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please feel free to contact Carolyn Fulgoni at: carolyn.fulgoni@education.vic.gov.au or students can speak directly with our Sports Coordinator, Ms Morrow, Ms Rhodes-Anderson.
