Soccer at St Andrews

St Andrews would love to take this opportunity to thank Andrew Farmer who is creating a great community of soccer stars every Tuesday! If you see him around the College please don’t hesitate to thank him in person. 

Congratulations to both the boys’ and girls’ Year 5/6 Soccer teams that made it through to the Knox Division Soccer finals at start of Term 3. On Monday July 23rd the Year 5/6 girls and boys team competed in these Knox Divisional finals - the best of 50 primary schools in the division. 

The boys team won a game, drew a game and lost a game and finished 5th out of 8 boys teams. The girls team drew two games and lost one game and also finished 5th out of 8 teams. These are the best finishing positions by a St Andrews Team at this level of the competition! Fantastic effort by our two teams!

On Friday 25 May the Year 4 students were involved in producing a soccer skills video to be shown by Football Federation Australia to primary school teachers and soccer coaches. We were professionally filmed and the clips will be available through the FFA website. 

At the end of Term 2 the 7/8 girls’ soccer team competed in the final against Lighthouse CC. Although they lost 4-2, it was a very worthy effort from all the players!

On Wednesday 8 August the Year 9/10 boys soccer team took on Belgrave Height Christian School at Egan Lea Reserve and won 4-2. It was St Andrews’ first senior Soccer match at home at Egan Lea Reserve as we have not been able to host matches previously. The game was covered by God’s promise with a beautiful rainbow right before it bucketed down with rain!

The Soccer revolution is gathering pace and results at St Andrews! Thanks for support!
