State Senior Hockey – Footscray Hockey Complex

Given it was their second year in a row competing in the 'Big Smoke', this very competitive team were laser focused last Friday 22nd August. Playing 3 qualifying games against Kew HS, Mordialloc College and Maribyrnong College, they started with a sound win of 3-2.

Our wings were quickly clipped in the 2nd game going down to Mordialloc 1-3 - they would eventually go on to win the State final. The 3rd game gave our team a chance to regroup and focus on redemption. They played with confidence and smarts to notch up another win 1-0, placing 2nd in the section A. Congratulations Senior Hockey Team and Staff on such a strong performance, our school stands a little taller with your efforts.

Interschools Victorian Ski and Snowboard Championships – Mt Buller

Year 8 student, Fletcher, represented BSC in both Ski Cross and Snowboard Cross divisions last week. He did a great job at the Interschools competition, giving it his all against the state’s best. It was good and bad weather throughout the event, adding to the complexity of competing in the high country. Well done Fletcher (and Mum), for dedicating yourself to represent the school at such a prestigious event.
