We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the success of our recently awarded 2019 Sportspersons of the Year in this final year as Footscray City College. The following students were presented at the recent whole school awards night at Moonee Ponds:

YEAR 7 GIRLS: KIRRA McCLENAHAN

YEAR 7 BOYS: NEYLAN BALBONTIN

YEAR 8 GIRLS: EDDY CWIKOWSKI

YEAR 8 BOYS: HENRY LOVELL

YEAR 9 GIRLS: JADE LEWICKI

YEAR 9 BOYS: JOE PERRY

YEAR 10 GIRLS: NATALIE CHRISTIE

YEAR 10 BOYS: TOM GLOVER

In 2019 we also had over 20 teams win the local inter-school sport competitions and progress to Regional Finals. This success took place in a huge variety of sports such as Baseball, Cricket, Softball, Tennis, Soccer, Netball, AFL Footy, Hockey, Basketball and Table Tennis. It was our most successful year for many years.

Finally, this will be Mark’s last year as Sport Coordinator after more than 20 years in the role here at Footscray City and 30+ years doing this job in the western suburbs. He would like to say thanks again to all the wonderful PE staff as well as other classroom teachers who have put their hands up to coach and take students away to interschool competitions over many years. We are very fortunate to have had such a great PE & Sport staff here at Footscray City College. Hopefully, this will continue and sport remains a school focus as we move into the next phase as Footscray High School.
