The following teams had success and now move through to the Regionals which are to be played in October - Intermediate Girls and Boys Basketball, Year 8 Boys and Girls Basketball, Intermediate Boys Table Tennis, Year 8 Boys Table Tennis and Year 7 Boys Basketball. 

Thank you to Ms Tudhope, Mr Sullivan, Ms Lester, Mr Ponsford and Mr Hore for coaching the sides, also a big thank you to all of our Student Coaches.

State Soccer

Our Year 7 Boys Soccer Team competed in the State Final at Kingston Heath on September 2nd.  In our first match the boys fought hard against Wodonga but unfortunately couldn’t come away with a win losing 2-1, Goal Scorer Nick Pappas. In our next match we had a loss against Bendigo 6-0. Our boys finished the day on a high easily defeating Warrnambool 9-2 Goal scorers for this match are 2 to Lucas Makridis and Ethan Hindson and 1 each to Eamon Coates, Tom Proctor-Parkin, Alex Gust, Marius Turlea, and Nick Gevaux. Thank you Mr Thompson and our student coach Jon Pappas for coaching the side.

On Thursday September 8 our year 8 Girls played in the State Final. The girls came out strong in their first match defeating Wondonga 6-0 – (3 goals each were scored by Celine Hussein Blanco and Rosie Thyer)  The girls continued their winning streak defeating Bendigo 4-3 (Goals Franco, Rosie Thyer, Jamie Spangher, Celine Hussein Blanco) and then finished off on top of their pool by defeating Mount Clear 5 – 2  (Goals Rosie Thyer 2, and 1 each to Giulia Galatas, Jamie Spangher, Molly Uwland).  Having 3 wins on the board qualified our Girls to play in the Final against Brighton Secondary College. At half time of this match the scores were level but unfortunately in the second half Brighton dominated using the strong wind to their advantage defeating our girls 6-1 (Goal Rosie Thyer).  A big thank you to Ms Young for coaching the girls up to the Regionals then handing the reigns over to Leesa Langley who held 2 special training sessions and coached the girls on the day. Well done Girls, State Runners Up, what an amazing achievement!

Congratulations to both of our Soccer teams, throughout each tournament they have played and each training session they have shown teamwork, sportsmanship and dedication.  They have respected their coaches, team mates and referees.  They are a credit to our school and their families.  They are definitely 2 teams to watch in the future.

Athletics

We attended the regional athletics competition on Thursday 8th Sept. The sun was shining and so were the medals many of our students won. Each athlete gave their all on the day with some also qualifying for state. Official results will feature in the next newsletter.
