Mr Kristian Gropel

Junior School Weekly Sport

During term 1 the year 7 and 8 students participated in a Weekly Interschool Sport Program against other schools in our division pool. These included, Parkdale, Brighton, Bentleigh and McKinnon. They proved to be great opponents and gave us some great matches across 3 different sports.

Our Baseball and Tennis teams fought well, gaining great points throughout all of their matches. Despite our efforts the other schools were victorious, however students should be proud in our efforts to learn new sports and compete at such a competitive level.

Our volleyball teams had more success on the scoreboard this term. Both the year 7 & 8 teams gained 2 victories but fell just short of winning the third. Unfortunately this means we narrowly miss out on finals.

Senior Round Robin Day

The senior volleyball tournament started with excitement and nervousness, but ended in tension and celebration. Both boys and girls’ teams from all Secondary College competed against schools around the South-East region; Bentleigh, Sandringham, Parkdale and Mordialloc. All schools were great competitors on the day, however it ended with the Westall boys team versus. Mordialloc for regionals. Westall were victorious and made it to regionals! The girls A team were close in their tournaments against the other schools, however, they missed by a few points to make it to regionals. Great job girls!

Overall the day was filled with initiative, teamwork, laughter from all students and overall, everyone had a great time.
