Northern Peninsula Division Swimming Carnival
A rainy March day saw 35 of our best swimmers from across all year levels represent the College at Division level with great success. We had students compete in almost all events with many students placing within the top three which was a fantastic effort. The most pleasing thing I take away from days such as Division Swimming is the genuine interest and support for all our competitors which comes from all our students who attended. We had senior students cheering our junior school competitors, Year 10 and Year 7 boys chatting about their events and even year 7 and 8 boys swimming in 17, 18 and 20 year old events just to ensure we had a PRSC representative in all races. A fantastic effort by everyone. PRSC ended the day in 3rd place for our division behind Frankston High and EMC with seven students progressing through to Southern Region on March 29th at MSAC as shown below.

Year 7 Girls Cricket
The Year 7 Girls Cricket team competed in the Super 8s competition at Ballam Park against Mt Erin and Frankston High School. Our State cricketer, Rhys McKenna led the team beautifully throughout the day and almost single handedly won both games. The rest of the team was on a steep learning curve and steadily improved throughout the day. Unfortunately, two games was not enough to get us into finals. I have no doubt with a couple more games under our belt we may have given the competition a shake. Well done girls. Ms. Allan.
Year 7 Boys Baseball
The Year 7 Boys Baseball team competed at Mornington Baseball Club against McClelland College and Frankston High School. The boys had a great day showing an improvement in skills with both bat and glove throughout the day.
Our match against McClelland College was a fantastic start to the day with a huge win with the boys scoring 11 home runs to McClelland's 7.
This brought up to a playoff game against Frankston High who has won earlier in the day quite easily versus McClelland College. It was fair to say the boys met their match as we found ourselves down 14-0 after two innings. We were able to rally late and comeback to 14-5 before the match was timed out giving Frankston the win and the championship. A great effort all day by a number of our students making for exciting times ahead for these boys.

Year 7 Girls Softball
The Year 7 girls should be congratulated on their highly competitive performances at the Year 7 sports softball round robin at CB Wilson Reserve, Mornington.
Some of the girls had never played a competitive game before. The first game saw them learn the technicalities of the game very quickly.
They were guided by their capable captain for the day- Kasey Smith who was also their team pitcher.
She was supported well by Samantha Scheffer who played catcher. All girls managed to hit and field well on the day.
One of the highlights of the day was Kasey's amazing triple play (3 out in less than 30 seconds!)
Team members:
Alyssa Cowley, Jade Love, Bridie Davies, Kitana Gallus, Olivia Love, Jenna Low, Roisin Martin, Samantha Scheffer, Kasey Smith and Dalani Whata.
