Individual Achievements

Netball - 2021 School Captain, Melissa Oloamanu, and Yr 12 student Kahlan Tanoi  both represented Victoria at the Australian Netball Championships recently. Melissa in the u/19 and Kahlan in the 16yrs. Both girls played in defence and both played very well. Kahlan came home with a runners up medal and Melissa’s team placed 3rd.

Cycling – Adam Lees, Yr 11, recently represented Victoria at the Australian Junior cycling titles in Brisbane. His sprint team finished 4th and he performed very well in the Individual Pursuit reaching the quarter final stage to officially finish 6th.

Team Sports

Volleyball Region level 

Senior Boys - We defeated Essendon comfortably, and lost a really tight game against VU 18/20, 23/23 when time ran out (came back from 11-19 match point to get the drawn set), and lost to a highly skilled Maribyrnong after giving them a good match and a bit of an early fright.

Intermediate Boys came 2nd in their pool today defeating Essendon East Keilor and Maribyrnong but lost to a very strong Gilson College.

Intermediate girls started well defeating Rosehill, but lost a very close game to Copperfield and then lost to Maribyrnong.

NRL 9's – Senior Regional qualifying

Senior boys - def Craigieburn, Tarneit and Staughton but lost a close one to Point Cook. At days end, we finished on top of the pool on countback to qualify for the State final.

Senior girls - def both Point Cook and Tarneit to go through to the State final undefeated.

Well done everyone on continuing our excellent performances and results on the rugby field.
