NORTHERN METROPOLITAN REGION TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Wednesday 15th October, 11 students proudly represented Greenhills at the Northern Metropolitan Region Track & Field Championships, held at Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium. This is the third — and one of the most challenging — levels of competition in the SSV Track & Field calendar.

Congratulations to our amazing athletes:

Jayla B	5ND
Charlie B	5SM
Arlo C	5ND
Ryan D	6JH
Jackson H	5ND
Tyra K	5SM
Annabelle M	6LB
Sophie M	6JH
Grace P	5SM
Emma T	6JH
Chris W	5ND

Just qualifying for this level places them in the top 100 in Victoria for their age group and event — a fantastic achievement in itself! On the day, personal bests were broken and, incredibly, a Region Record was smashed by the Boys 11 Relay team too!

A special shout-out to Charlie, Arlo, Jackson, Sophie and Chris, who placed 1st or 2nd in their events and will now compete at the State Championships in the coming weeks — good luck!

COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

Awesome to see the next generation of Greenhills basketball stars hitting the court this Aussie Hoops season! Shoutout to Harper S (3MH), Leila C (3JC), Soren D (2TS), Phoenix W (PSB), Sonny S (PSB), Adam C (PSB), Ethan D (PSB), and Riley C (PSB).

Keep shooting for the stars and, most importantly, keep having fun! 💪🏼

Huge congratulations to Gemma M (5SM), who was awarded Best & Fairest for the Montmorency JFC U12 Girls White team!

Keep kicking goals, Gemma — a future AFLW star in the making! 💪🏼

Congratulations to Asher P (5RB) on her first ever full dressage competition!

Despite some nerves in the first round, Asher placed 6th (and scored a ribbon). In the second, more challenging test, she found her stride and claimed 2nd place! Her combined results saw her finish 4th overall — an incredible effort for her debut.

Well done, Asher! 💪🏼

If your child achieves something special (grand final win, most valuable player award, best and fairest etc.), please email me (jordan.daley@education.vic.gov.au) through photos and an overview of the achievement to post in Contact. It is important to celebrate and recognise such successes with the school community.
