Highlights
How remarkable is this?!
Over the weekend, our Year 12 student, Alana, and her team made history, taking out the 2024 Underwater Hockey Age Group World Championships, beating France 4/1!
To top off the win, the girls became the first Australian junior team to win a gold medal at this event. Now, their names will forever be engraved on this trophy; how incredible is that?!
Well done to you and your team, Alana; your St Mary's community could not be more excited for you all!
Congratulations To...
