CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS

Diamond Valley College students braved the cold and the mud at the recent Regional and State Cross Country. At the end of term 2,  40 students represented DVC at the Northern Metropolitan Regional Cross Country held at the Kilmore Racetrack. 

Despite the inclement weather, our students worked hard producing many personal bests. Hard work paid off and we are proud to have 10 students qualify for State Cross Country.

State Cross Country saw better weather, but a lot more mud! 

Congratulations to all our runners who worked hard under difficult circumstances. 

Please see all of our place getters and State Finalists below:

Interschool Sport Term 2 Results

What a way to finish off the term!!

Term 2 saw many teams represent the school in AFL and AFLW, netball, soccer and badminton. It was fantastic to see everyone out, getting involved and having a go.

Our badminton teams trained weekly and put up a good competition, but were no match for some of the other teams we faced. Our soccer teams worked hard producing a mixed bag of wins,  losses and draws.

In AFL, our senior boys and intermediate teams fought hard, but were outmuscled by some of the other teams, while in netball our intermediate girls only lost one game for the day, while our senior boys missed out on progressing due to percentage!

Congratulations to our Junior AFLW team, Year 7 AFL, Year 8 AFL and our Senior and Year 7 netball teams that all progress through to regional finals in the near future.
