On Friday 17th May our Senior Boys and Girls Volleyball teams travelled to Melbourne to compete in the 2024 SSV State Volleyball Championships.

Both teams came up against some very impressive opponents who displayed some amazing volleyball skills.

Unfortunately, neither team was able to win a match during the day but they both had many long and exciting rallies against their opponents.
