Presentation Dinners

We have had a very busy start to Term 4 with Presentation Dinners for Rugby, Basketball and Soccer.

 

Rugby

 

The Rugby presentation dinner was held on Tuesday, 10 October. Mr Leigh McKee was the MC of the evening and did a terrific job pulling it all together. The Rugby boys were treated to a beautiful two-course meal. Our special guest for the evening was newly appointed Rugby Victoria CEO Marcus Reynolds. He gave us a great insight into the current state of Rugby in Victoria, as well as some of his plans for the future. Special thanks to all of the coaches and managers that helped with all three of our rugby teams.

Basketball Presentation Dinner

On Tuesday, 15 October we had our annual basketball presentation dinner. The evening was a cocktail format with families able to celebrate the outstanding efforts of all of the boys that represented the school in basketball this year. Basketball continues to thrive at SPC thanks to the great work of our Head of Basketball Mr Josh Ebbels. In 2024 we saw a record number of teams represent the College.

 

On behalf of SPC, I would like to thank the coaches and managers that expertly coached and supported our boys. Special thanks to Haymish Buscher for his videography during the season and his organisation of the presentation. Thanks to Mr Eric Hayes and Jarrod Fryar for their elite level coaching. Biggest of all thanks go to Mr Josh Ebbels for his organisation of the evening.
