Swimming Carnival 2024

I’d like to firstly say a huge thank you to all the staff and students who assisted on the day. Your help was greatly appreciated and without it, our swimming day would not have been so successful.

Also a big shout out to the sport, house and school captains who went above and beyond in rejuvenating the carnival. Special mention to Emily D and Larni F for putting in a huge amount of work into the day! A quick comparison shows that we had more than double the number of students compete in a race than in 2023 which is a great outcome! I announced the winner on Monday afternoon.

Baseball Report from Middle School Students

Westall played super baseball to second spot on points at the Kingston District Intermediate Sports. We played at Kingston Park, opposite Moorabbin DFO at the Cheltenham baseball club. Our initial goal was to work together inside the diamond and defend well. Yulan was our start up pitcher, with Gavinn as our catcher. Kristian played first base. The boys played really well and we defeated Sandringham College. 

The team was happy, and we achieved our goal.

Unfortunately, in our second match, McKinnon was too strong. 6 of their players played at club level. They pitched very fast and straight, and we took some time to adjust.

Our match against Bentleigh was very close, with a final score of 10 to 9.  During that match Sameer, Jackson and Yulan pitched.   The later being the best player on the field. Other highlights were from Zagawan, who scored twice in two matches.  His friends in the dugout were going wild with excitement, calling him ‘Zaggy’ you’re a legend. Another player who gained in confidence match by match was Sukhraj, who was a solid fielder at third 

base. He helped to tag the runners trying to touch and those trying to score at home. He was our Captain.

Overall, we had a great day on the field and the boys learnt a great deal about the game and they developed a lot of character.  They all thanked Isabelle our year 12 assistant coach for helping, supporting the team and coaching from third base.
