SPORT REPORT

Term 3 sport at Dromana started off with a bang! On the first Thursday back, our cross-country team headed to the Yarra Valley Racing club for the State Championships. Our team of eight consisted of Imogen Baker, Isabel Bayliss, Tahli Browne, Charlie Kyberd, Skye Spicer, Mia Spicer, and Hunter Wheeler. Our whole team should be very proud of themselves as it is no easy feat to make it to this level and they were an exceptional representation of the College.  I would like to further congratulate Imogen Baker and Charlie Kyberd for both finishing third in their event!

During term 3 we saw many teams across the year levels represent the school in the next level of school sports, the Southern Metropolitan Region (SMR). Dromana had a total of 13 teams competing against the best schools in the region for the following sports: soccer, hockey, football, table tennis, badminton, basketball and netball. From these teams, our year 8 badminton team were named the runners up for the SMR division, congratulations to Jack Galli, Charles Hollow, Noah King, Owen Knaggs and Thomas Walkington.

I always enjoy reflecting and looking back on the sporting term. Yet again, our participation rate has been very impressive, and I am very proud of all students who represented our school. It is great to constantly see our school values represented through our students.
