Congratulations to...

Congratulations to the six Tournament of Minds teams that represented Girton at the State Finals in Melbourne on Sunday 8 September. All of the students were amazing ambassadors for our school, with four teams receiving Honours (second) and our Secondary STEM team winning their division. The school is grateful to Mrs Viv Bath for her tireless dedication as MiC of this co-curricular, and to supporting teachers Dr Christopher Maslunka, Mrs Prue Milner, Mr David Ruddick and Mr Justin Leske. Girton would also like to thank Chelsea White, Karthi Balraj and Rick Bath for accompanying the teams. 

We wish Ruby Conti (12 Millward) all the best for the Aerobic Gymnastics World Championships, which will take place in Italy over the school holidays. 

In competing at this event, Ruby will be fulfilling a dream she has worked towards for many years. To read more about Ruby's journey, see the Girton website. 

Tate Cantwell (7 Aherne) is travelling to Chonburi in Thailand to represent Australia at the Eastern Seaboard Regatta being held at the Royal Varuna Yacht Club. 

Tate is part of a team called the Australian Optimist Development Squad that is representing Australia. 

Congratulations, Tate! 

Azia Fong-Sutton (8 Aherne) has been selected as a recipient of a Local Sporting Champions Grant. 

Azia was presented with a certificate from MP Lisa Chesters at an award ceremony. Well done, Azia! 

Arlo Speer (6 Frew) represented Girton Grammar in the final two races of the Victorian Schools MTB Series on Saturday in Castlemaine and Sunday in Bendigo. 

Arlo was awarded second overall in the whole series for the U13 Boys race class. It was very close, with two boys tying for first with 37 points, and Arlo in second with 36 points.
