Volleyball Schools' Cup
Northcote win Gold at the Volleyball Schools' Cup
The Three-Day Schools Cup volleyball tournament was so fun! All the NHS teams played very well and improved so much over the three days.
The Year 8 Girls won GOLD, against Tintern Grammer! This is Northcote’s first gold medal in two years!
The Year 7 Girls won a bronze medal, which is very exciting and an amazing effort. The Year 7 Girls also played Tintern Grammer. Even though the Year 7/8 and Year 9 boys didn’t make finals, everyone played well and tried their best. They all put a lot of effort into their games and supported each other, on and off the court.
The Year 9 Girls also played amazing volleyball. They played for a bronze medal against Upwey but unfortunately lost. Even though they didn’t walk away with a medal they had some great hits and fantastic blocks. Overall, this was one of the best tournaments ever with everyone loving it!
