WestVic Sport Academy excursion
Recently our WestVic Academy students had the fantastic opportunity to take part in an exciting excursion to Federation University.
Students began the day with a tour of the university campus, before participating in a practical lesson and an engaging strength and conditioning session. They then visited the university laboratories, where they observed James undertaking a VO₂ Max test and learned about the science behind athletic performance and fitness testing.
Following our time at Federation University, the group travelled into Ballarat for a behind-the-scenes tour of Mars Stadium and the new Athletics Centre. Students gained an appreciation of the facilities, programs, and opportunities available within the sport and recreation industry.
It was a fantastic experience for all students, providing valuable learning opportunities and a glimpse into future study and career pathways. We thank Federation University, WestVic Academy, and our hosts throughout the day for making this memorable experience possible.
Applications for our 2027 WestVic Academy program are now open and interested students are encouraged to apply. Information, including the application form, have been emailed to families.
Year 7 State Volleyball
Congratulations to our Year 7 Volleyball team!
After an early start on Tuesday morning, the team arrived at the State Championships in Melbourne. They weren't sure what to expect but a few minutes into their first game they started to play with confidence. They played three games in their section against Parkdale College, Henderson College Mildura and Eltham High School. They came second in their pool which qualified them for the semi-finals, where they played against Heathdale College Melton. The team competed well but unfortunately were not able to get the win.
To make it to the semi-finals of a State Championship is an excellent result. They represented our College positively with their team work, behaviour and sportsmanship. They now know that they can compete at a high level and plan to continue training hard together next year to have another opportunity to compete at the State Championships.
