Year 8/9 EISM Sport

Congratulations to the following Year 8/9 EISM Summer Sports Teams, who qualified for the EISM Grand Finals after the Term 4 Home and Away Summer Season:

• Girls Soccer
• Girls Volleyball B
• Boys Volleyball B

Unfortunately, last Thursday was declared a “heat out” by the EISM due to the hot weather. Each team will now share the premiership with their opposition school. Each team will receive a premiership pennant early next year. Each school will also hold the premiership trophy at their school for six months. Well done to all Year 8/9 students involved in the premiership teams this term.    

Oakleigh Grammar Netball Club

Due to a high level of interest in the sport of Netball, Oakleigh Grammar formed the Oakleigh Grammar Netball Club in 2016. The club entered the local Carnegie District Netball Competition, played at Duncan MacKinnon Netball Courts on Saturday mornings.

In 2016, we started with one team ‘Oakleigh Grammar Thunder’ and by the end of the year the interest and the number of teams grew to three (1 x Under 15 team, and 2 x under 17 teams). All teams trained in the Sports Complex on Monday after school.   

Each season at least one team has participated in the semi-finals, and this year all three teams played in the semi-finals.

Oakleigh Grammar Lightning (U/17 team) reached the Grand Final where they played a high standard of Netball to finish as Runners-up.

The development of skill and team work between all the teams has proven to be an enlightening experience for all the girls.

Congratulations to all three netball teams this season. We are all looking forward to more success and another exciting netball season in 2018.

A huge thank you to Ms Lisa Anastopoulos for managing and training our netball teams, and to the parents who support each team on Saturday mornings.
