SENIOR INTERSCHOOL SPORT 

On Monday, February 19th we had four teams represent the school in baseball and volleyball, in the Monash Interschool sport competition.   The baseball team lost their first match 8-1, but improved in their next match, losing a close and competitive contest 4-3.  Our two girls volleyball teams tried hard, but came up against some strong opposition. They did however win some matches across the day.   The boys volleyball competition was extremely tight, with many entertaining matches finishing 1-set all and being decided by total points. At the end of the competition our record was 3 wins and 1 loss, to finish 2nd.   Well done to all participants for their effort in training and on the day of competition.
