With the weather gods finally coming to the party, it has been great to see our boys back on the grounds and courts doing what they love best.

SVC continues to provide opportunities across a wide range of sports and cocurricular activities.  Below is a summary of the Term 4 activities:

Cricket

Two Year 7-8  and one Year 9-10 teams playing in the SSATIS roster.  Halfway through the rosters, we care a great chance of playing finals.

The Year 9 Coyle Clingefeffer Cup is being played next Tuesday on Gunn Oval at Pontville.  We very much look forward to taking on St Patrick's College.

The 1st XI is training hard in preparation for the following matches and tournaments:

Volleyball

Following in the footsteps of the Badminton Army, Mr Aaron Tan has the Volleyball Development Squad of 30 boys up and about learning new skills.  The College has also entered the newly created SSATIS 9-10 roster for the first time with some very pleasing results.

Rugby 7s

Mr Sanderson has a small and dedicated group of boys participating in the inter school rugby on Friday nights at Rugby Park.

Sailing and Kayaking

The Marine Education Centre (MEC) is buzzing on Tuesday nights with a combination of sailors and kayak paddlers taking to the water.  New sailors are always welcome so why not give it a go.

Tennis

Mr Scanlon has charge of 7-8 team in the SSATIS roster, playing all our matches on our home courts at Austins.

International Futsal Tour 

Ethan Leary (Year 9) recently toured Greece representing Australia in a futsal tour. Under 15s and 16s played a number of games with positive results and all of the games. Players and supporters have visited Olympia Home of the ancient Olympic Games the world known wonder of the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill, went on a three-island cruise including Hydra Agean and Paros, and enjoyed Greek dancing and singing happening on the free island cruise. Highlights also watching Olympiakos training, shopping in Monasteraki and watching the local derbies in the football super league between Olympiakos and Lamia.
