Track and Field

SCHOOL SPORT VICTORIA

Sandringham College sent 20 students to the Southern Metropolitan Region Track & Field finals on Thursday 10th October. We would like to congratulate all students who made it to this level. They had to win at both our carnival and the Kingston carnival to get this far.

All of those who placed 1st at the SMR finals made it through to the Victorian championships which were held in Albert Park on 21/10/24.

Elliott Meaney - placed 7th in Triple Jump

Tai Halliday - placed 4th in High Jump

Archie Mattsson - placed 3rd in 800m

Milena, Jade, Isla & Klara - placed 6th in 4x100m relay

To place in the top 8 of the state is a huge accomplishment and we are so proud of each of them!

ATHLETICS VICTORIA

The Victorian All Schools competition for Track and Field runs over two weekend in October and November. This competition is separate to the School Sport Victoria championships where the students enter themselves into events but represent the college.  Sandringham College has the below students in this competition.

Hockey

The year 8 girls hockey team is on fire and we can't wait to see them compete at the STATE FINALS on Friday 15th November! This team has been coached each Thursday before school by Erin Carter with support of Tom from Bayside Hockey Club. Jan Robinson has taken the girls to both of their tournaments so far with student coaches Mila-Mae Linstrom and Klara Punt of year 9.

The college would like to thank Bayside Hocky Club for this support of all of our hockey teams in term 3. 

Basketball

The year 7 boys basketball team have been working hard since their Kingston Divison win at the end of term 3. They are off to the Southern Metropolitan finals on Friday 1st November. The team has been coached by year 10, Robbie Sheedy. Robbie is a part of our Chase basketball program and has flourished in the opportunity to work with these students.

Speak Share fun run

In December you'll see some of our Physical Education staff running in the Speak Share fun run. While some of our staff are keen runners, others are taking the opportunity to put themselves in uncomfortable positions and train for the run. Speak Share is an Australian foundation which work with schools and sport groups to de-sensitise the mental health stigma, and to normalise starting the conversation with our mates, team members, fellow employees or the wider community.
