Smash Hits at the Interschool Badminton Competition!

Our Year 8 badminton squads served up an absolute masterclass at the recent interschool competition, walking away with an incredible haul of victories and showcasing phenomenal sportsmanship.

 

It was a near-clean sweep for our teams across the board:

 

  • Boys A (Champions & Regional Bound!): In a stunning display of skill and teamwork, the Boys A team dominated their division to claim the overall championship title. With this win, they have officially qualified for the Regional finals.

     

  • Boys B & Girls B (Champions): Both of our B squads put on clinical performances, outplaying the competition to win their respective tournaments. Their depth and determination were fantastic to watch.

     

  • Girls A (Runners-Up): Our Girls A team fought hard all day, making it all the way to the grand final. In a tense, high-stakes deciding match, they finished as incredibly proud runners-up after a narrow loss to Glen Waverley.
