She will be competing for our state, Victoria at the The School Sport Australia (SSA) 12 Years and Under Hockey Championship in New Town, Tasmania.
We wish Aarya the utmost success at these Championships. We look forward to sharing her story as she journey through this development elite athletic platform.

COMMUNITY SPORTING ACHIEVEMENT
Recently, one of our Year 6 boys, Jacob Taylor, who is part of the Eastern Athletics representative baseball team participated in the Victorian State Baseball Championships.
His team was very successful and won their grand final which advances them to the Australian Little League Championships in Sydney this week. This high level of competition will be a challenge for Jacob and his team and we wish him the best of luck this week as he strives to be victorious. Hopefully their efforts progress them to the international level with the World Little League Series.
St Simon Athletics Team
The Rowville District Athletics Competition will be on Friday 11th August in Term 3. Our St Simon’s District Athletics team will be announced shortly.
Selection within this team is based not only on the times and distances collected from our Year 3-6 Athletic Day but through tracks and field skills and measurements obtained within the Physical Education program. In addition, previous times and results from last year’s District Athletics competition will be taken into consideration during the selection.
We ask parents to keep an eye out for the Operoo permission form stating your child’s selection into the St Simon Athletics team.
