The Australian Under-21 Korfball Team gave it their all at the IKF U21 World Korfball Championship 2024 recently in Kemer, Turkey.

While the Australian team did not make it to the final, our past Aberfoyle Park High School students represented their country with pride and skill. 

They included:

Caitlin Brown, Tom Brown, Dane Moore, Dominic Priest and Ned Spurr 

Their dedication and sportsmanship deserve applause. Well done, team

Baseball

Congratulations to Ben P who was selected to compete in a team of SA and Victorian kids in the Perfect Game 14U World Wood Bat Championship in Hoover, Alabama, USA.

There were approximately 150 teams competing in this championship.  Having the opportunity to play against American kids that live and breathe baseball was something they’ll never forget.  They also had the opportunity to play on Rickwood Field, the oldest baseball field in the world. 

Mia’s Journey to Brisbane 2032: Aiming High

Exciting news from the shooting range. Mia F. one of our year 9 students, has taken a significant step towards her Olympic dreams. During the April school holidays, she showcased her sharpshooting skills at SASI and caught the eyes of talent scouts.

Mia is now part of an elite Talent Identification Program, preparing for the Air Rifle shooting event at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Training under the watchful eyes of Carrie Quigley, the National Coach and Commonwealth medalist, and Emma Adams, the State Coach, Mia is on track to hit the bullseye. 

With sessions twice a week, she’s following in the footsteps of Jack Rossiter, who also honed his skills at SASI before making it to Paris. Mia’s excitement is palpable, and we can’t wait to see her represent us on the world stage. Let’s cheer her on as she sets her sights on gold!
