Finding our way to State Orienteering Championships

On Tuesday, our Year 9 Outdoor Education students travelled to Mills Park, Beckenham, to compete in the WA State Orienteering Championships. Representing St George’s Anglican Grammar School in both the Under 15 Boys and Under 15 Girls Pair Divisions, students demonstrated excellent teamwork, resilience and navigation skills throughout the day.

The event featured more than 15 schools from across Western Australia, with competitors working in pairs to navigate the course, locate checkpoints and accumulate points. With 71 pairs competing in the Boys Division and 57 pairs in the Girls Division, the championships attracted over 250 participants, making for a highly competitive event.

Our students represented the school with pride, embracing the challenge and displaying outstanding sportsmanship. While we may not have claimed the overall title, we can proudly say we were among the fastest competitors on the course!

Congratulations to the following students:

We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they represented the school throughout the day.

ACC Hockey Carnival

St George’s proudly sent two teams to compete in the ACC Hockey Carnival during Week 9 of Term Two. The squads featured students from Years 7 to 12, providing a valuable opportunity for our younger players to gain experience and learn from their senior peers.

The leadership demonstrated by our Year 12 students throughout both days was outstanding. We extend our sincere thanks to Cate Williams, Alyssa Peake, Seb Munday, Elliot Notelaers, and Bryn Douglas for the exemplary leadership, encouragement, and support they provided to their teammates.

Held at the State Hockey Stadium, the carnival was a fantastic experience for all involved. Both teams competed with great determination, skill, and sportsmanship throughout the day, showcasing the depth of hockey talent within our school community.

Thank you to all students who participated and represented St George’s with pride. Your commitment and enthusiasm made the event a great success.
