Intermediate Regional Basketball Tournament

Our outstanding Intermediate Basketball Team competed in the Regional Tournament at Dandenong Stadium on Thursday, 24th October. This team have been a stand-out throughout 2024, with their tremendous spirit, their teamwork and exemplary behaviour demonstrated both on and off the court. They have really shown what great sportspeople they are throughout the year and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful in their games (losing one of them by a single point), but they are all most definitely a credit to Pakenham Secondary College and we can’t wait to see them in action in 2025.

Under 14 Boys Rugby

On Thursday, 24th October, our Under 14 Boys Rugby Team played in the Robbie Kearns Under 14’s South NRL Gala Event in brand new uniforms, kindly donated by our very own local Pakenham Eels Rugby League Club.

The students had a fantastic time in their first tournament against far more experienced players. When some of them thought they couldn't play against some of the bigger boys, they gave it their all and scored a few tries. We saw great potential rugby players for the future. Their determination excelled - it was a fantastic effort from our team. We would once again like to thank the Pakenham Eels Rugby club for their support and also for the support from the club on the day - thank you Lisa Nelson.

Our students were full of energy and ecstatic on their return in the afternoon to the College. A few were asked what their favourite part of the day was:

Casein: "We got to verse so many schools and had a fun time"

David: "Even the biggest players were really nice after they body slammed you. They were really polite and apologised"

Archie: "My favourite part of the day was getting ‘bodied’ and jumped on!"

The students are very enthusiastic about rugby and are looking forward to continuing this great sport in the future!

Here are some photos from the day, as well as photos from Monday and Wednesday's training sessions on our oval.
