Student Achievements

Congratulations to the following students 

Lily McDermott (Year 8), who recently represented Tasmania in the Youth National Championships for Sports Climbing in Ballina, New South Wales. Her hard work in training paid off, with Lily achieving personal bests in both Lead and Bouldering. She finished the competitions ranked 10th in Australia in Lead and 2nd in Australia in Bouldering, bringing home a well-earned silver medal. What a phenomenal achievement, Lily – we’re so proud of your dedication and success! Keep scaling those walls and chasing new heights.
