Well done boys and we look forward to Team sVc taking on the state’s best at the Tasmanian Secondary All School Cross Country Championships at Symmons Plains on Tuesday 20 June.

SSATIS Football

Unfortunately, our 2nds team has narrowly missed making the SSATIS Final, going down to The Hutchins School in the final round in atrocious conditions at Geilston Bay. It has generally been a fantastic experience for Team sVc as they took on much older and experienced players. We now look forward to the Year 9-10 roster in Term 3.

Our Year 7-8 teams still have another two rounds to go before finals. Currently sVc Blue is top of the table with sVc Gold 4th and sVc Green 5th. We very much look forward to the pointy end of the competition.

Thank you to many staff who put so much time into managing our sports teams, and sometimes in extreme weather conditions.

Water Polo

It has been a great start to the Water Polo roster with both our teams doing well.

Year 7-8 Blue is currently sitting in 3rd on the ladder and Year 9-10 Blue 4th after the first four games.

Thank you to our dedicated staff and parents who are assisting with coaching, supervision, and manager duties, along with the weekly bench duties.
