Each student gave their best effort, showcasing great determination and sportsmanship.

 

Congratulations to Ryan Lu, Year 5, for securing 2nd place in freestyle and to Mengyao Zhang, Year 5, for finishing 3rd. Well done to all participants!

What a fantastic fortnight of sport we’ve had at Kilvington! 

 

YEARS 8 AND 9

Our Years 8 and 9 and Senior teams have wrapped up Round 5 with some outstanding performances against strong competition from Bialik, Huntingtower, Kingswood and Oakleigh Grammar. 

With eight teams currently sitting in the top two on the ladder and many more positioned in the top four, the race for finals is heating up! The dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship on display have been exceptional — keep up the great work, Kilvington athletes!

YEAR 7

Meanwhile, our Year 7 students have had their first taste of EISM sport, with trials and training kicking off before the long weekend. It’s been fantastic to see their enthusiasm and commitment as they start their journey into interschool competition. Best of luck to all our Year 7 teams and coaches as they come together and prepare for the season ahead.

House Captains and Heads of Houses have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get their teams ready, and we can’t wait to see the action unfold. Personally, I always love watching the high jump and 100m sprint—such a thrill! Families are welcome to attend and cheer on the competitors as they go for gold!

With so much happening, there’s never been a better time to get involved in sport at Kilvington. Keep training hard, support your teammates, and most importantly—enjoy the journey. Go Kilvington!
