Southern SATIS Athletics Carnival

Congratulations, to those students that have been selected to represent St Virgil's College at the 2025 Southern SATIS Athletics Carnival at the Domain Athletics Centre next Tuesday 11 March.

Students are to make their own way to and from the Domain. Please arrive at 8.00 am (report to staff in the College tent) and stay for the duration of the carnival, including presentations. The final event is scheduled for 4.00 pm and presentations should be concluded by 4.30 pm.

All students should be dressed in full SVC Sports Uniform and bring appropriate food and drinks. Canteen and hot drink facilities are also available.

For those that don't already have one, Athletics Singlets can be purchased from the Uniform Shop for $46.00.  Students can wear sports uniform shorts whilst competing or multi-purpose shorts. Only white socks are permitted to be worn with runners/spikes. The College has a limited number of spikes that are available to use. These will be issued on the morning at the track.

Students should liaise directly with their teachers to ensure they make up any work that they miss out on whilst attending the carnival.

The team to compete at the State SATIS Carnival on Tuesday 25 March in Launceston, will be selected following the Southern SATIS carnival.

All School Rowing Championships

Team sVc has taken out the Aggregate Cup and Junior Shield at the 2025 All Schools Rowing Championships!

What a historic sporting day for the College. This marks the first time the College has won the cup since its inception in 1964 and a return to Senior School sport. sVc secured the Cup by one single point over The Hutchins School. 

The competition for the Cup came down to the final race of the day, one solitary point behind, sVc needed to finish ahead of The Hutchins School in the Year 10 Quad Scull to secure the historic victory. Thanks to an inspirational speech from Year 10 coach, and ex-Australian rower Ms Wrigley, the rowers put in a gritty performance and narrowly finished ahead of a fast-finishing Hutchins crew. 

Dominating the junior events, sVc walked away with an arm full of trophies, winning 7 of the 9 possible junior races, and finishing a close second in the remaining 2 events. 

Making history too was our Open 1st VIII, who participated with Years 11 and 12 students in the Open Boys VIII for the first time in 30 years. Finishing in 3rd, only half a second behind Grammar in second and 5 seconds behind Hutchins in first - all eyes will be on sVc at the Head of the River in three weeks. 

Congratulations to all involved and we look forward to the Head of the River on Saturday 15 March.
