One final hurrah coming up to tick the legs over at our upcoming track & field events!

SENIOR ROUND ROBIN

Table Tennis

It was wonderful to see the seniors play table tennis on Friday. Many matches were drawn 2 all after the singles game, so the doubles were important. The boys played fairly and with a lot of skill but unfortunately, we didn’t get the overall win for the day. Special mention to Max G who didn’t lose a singles match all day. We hope they continue to get a lot of joy out of table tennis for many years now that their high school careers have concluded. 

Basketball

Girls

Our A team for senior girls basketball has progressed through to the EMR finals which will be held next Friday 31/7 at Dandenong Basketball Stadium! Congratulations to both the A and B team for winning our Division competition. Well done!

Girls Hockey

The senior girls hockey team had a fantastic day out of competition at Division. They also competed at the EMR finals on Wednesday. Stay tuned for a write up in the next newsletter edition!

EMR Finals

Senior Boys Soccer

The Vermont Secondary College Senior Boys soccer team progressed to the regional competition and delivered strong performances throughout the tournament. The team opened with an impressive 2–0 victory over Lilydale High School, followed by a hard-fought 2–1 win against Ringwood. In their final match, they put in a determined effort but were narrowly defeated 2–1 by a strong Brentwood Secondary College side. Although the team did not progress to the grand final, spirits remained high, and our Year 11’s (soon to be Year 12’s) look to compete again next year.
