Elite Volleyball Program

Queensland Beach Schools Cup

State Championship Success

The Elite Volleyball Program delivered an outstanding performance at the Queensland Beach Schools Cup in Coolangatta, with 20 of our 54 teams progressing to finals and securing 14 medals across multiple divisions. These results allowed us to place 2nd overall in Queensland out of 67 teams who participated.

Medal Highlights:

Year 8 Boys (4s) claimed gold, while our Year 9 Boys dominated the pairs division with gold and two silver medals. Year 10 athletes were particularly impressive, with gold in Girls 4s and Boys Pairs, alongside silver and bronze in Girls Pairs and bronze in Boys 4s. Our senior students continued the success with Year 11 Girls Pairs bronze, and Year 12 Boys securing bronze in 4s plus silver medals in both Division 1 and 2 for Pairs. 

Beyond the competitive results, our students demonstrated exceptional character throughout the weekend by volunteering for event duties, supporting teammates, and stepping up to coach and mentor junior teams. The number of finalists and medal winners highlights both our continued growth and increasing competitiveness at the state level.

ABVSC National Championships: 3rd Best School in Australia

Our athletes excelled at the Australian Beach Schools Cup, with The Gap State High School finishing as the 3rd ranked school in Australia.

ABVSC Medal Results: 

Year 10 Boys Pairs (silver), Year 9 Boys Pairs (gold and 4th), Year 10 Girls Pairs (silver and bronze), Year 12 Boys 4s (gold and 4th), Year 9/10 Boys 4s (silver, bronze, and 4th), Year 7/8 Boys 4s (silver and 4th), Year 7/8 Girls 4s (bronze and 4th), Year 11 Girls Pairs (4th) and Year 9 girls pairs (4th).

Our students were recognised by parents and coaches from other schools for their kindness and politeness which is a testament to the culture we've built within the EVP. These results reflect not just athletic excellence but the character and values our athletes demonstrate on the national stage.

Student Leadership in Action

We are excited to watch our senior students embrace leadership opportunities in the coming weeks. Our Year 10s are having their first experience leading training sessions and will soon visit local primary schools to teach volleyball to young students. Meanwhile, our Year 11 and 12 athletes are exploring event management by hosting competitions that bring different year levels together, providing valuable development in culture building and cross-cohort engagement. These leadership experiences are essential to developing well-rounded sports professionals and strengthening the legacy within our program.

Thank you!
