Term 3 has been another busy and successful term for Interschool Sport at Edgars Creek Secondary College.

As we draw to a close for the upcoming Term, Interschool Sport has provided many opportunities for students, teachers and teams to compete in their Divisional Round events and Regional Round events, with the determination to extend their run into the State Rounds.

Whilst the competition this term took itself to another level in the form of schools from other divisions, the students taking part in sport this term ensured that they held onto enjoyment, collaboration and values to rise to those same levels.
