Cricket Success
As the cricket finishes up (it goes into recess during the AFL season) our successful girls teams have once again achieved some outstanding success. Our year 9/10 girls team narrowly missed out getting into the State quarter finals, coming runners-up in the Southern Zone.
Our year 8 girls were finalists at regional level which was also a terrific result.

Congratulations to Bonnie Salt from Year 8. She won two gold medals at the National Karate Championships in Launceston, Tasmania. Bonnie has trained with the Victorian State Karate Team for the last three years as well as with her dojo at Peter Hollowood Martial Arts in Mornington. Her hard work, determination and good sportsmanship has paid off. Bonnie won her individual division in the 12/13-year-old girls, and the team event in her age group. Congratulations Bonnie! A fantastic achievement.
