An amazing year of sport

Futsal Champions

We have continue to fill our trophy cabinet right up to the last activity. Both the year 7 boys and girls futsal teams completed in the futsal finals on Thursday 30th November at Reservoir High School. Both teams brought home the gold! Well done to all involved.

Thank You

What another amazing year 2017 has been for NHS sport. We have had many teams achieving success at both Divisional and Regional Level with some moving through and conquering State Level. Fulfilling the role of Sports Coordinator for the second year has been an extremely rewarding experience. Our students have continued to demonstrate our team spirit in each event that we have participated in, win or lose. I am extremely proud of all that have been a part of the sport teams and individual events this year. Staff and students have also dedicated a large amount of time to what has been a very busy training schedule. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank our staff and student coaches who had given up their time to support the sport program over the past year. I hope you all have a relaxing holiday.

Looking Ahead 2018

2018 brings more opportunities for our young people to participate in sport. Early in term 1 students will be able to complete the sport sign up survey for any sport that they would like to try out for that year. In addition, we have exciting camps taking place as well as an opportunity for students to join our very successful Volleyball and Cheerleading Program.

NHS Volleyball at the Australian Volleyball School's Cup

This year 3 teams represented Northcote at the National School’s tournament. Over 500 teams compete at this event, from across the country as well as from New Zealand, Fiji and Hong Kong. The games are held at MSAC and Dandenong Sports Stadium over 6 days.

Our teams represented the school brilliantly, playing all of their games with enthusiasm and displaying excellent sportsmanship.

The Year 8s in their first year of volleyball finished 8th in their division. They learnt a lot more about volleyball over the week, including how to serve under pressure, work as a team and referee matches.

The Year 10s finished the tournament with lots of enthusiasm despite finishing 18th in their division. They also learnt a lot about persistence and resilience over the week. After all, it isn’t about winning because they still had lots of fun and showed great team spirit!

They Year 9s advanced to Division 2 this year, playing exceptionally well over the week, with only 3 losses. They ended up placing 7th out of 20 teams, finishing as the top Victorian school for their division. Since beginning volleyball in Year 7 in 2014, these girls have shown great dedication and commitment to their team, developing their skills and improving significantly over the last 2 years.
