What an incredible HPE Week at Sacred Heart College Kyneton! This year’s HPE Week was officially our most attended HPE Week ever, with huge numbers of students getting involved, plenty of staff joining in, and even more students coming along to watch, cheer and enjoy the action.

The before-school activities were a fantastic way to start each day, with the Soccer Shootout, Bowl the Teacher (Cricket) and Downball proving to be massive hits. The highlight of the cricket was undoubtedly Archer Todd from 7B, who managed to bowl Mr G out with his very first ball! Archer’s celebration said it all – much to his delight, and perhaps not quite as much to Mr G’s!

The lunchtime activities kicked off with an extraordinary 200+ students heading down to Quambi for Downball. It was loud, energetic, competitive and, most importantly, full of great spirit. After the scores were level following the games, the Seniors managed to edge out the Juniors in the final 5 v 5 shootout, securing bragging rights… at least for now!

The lunchtime Soccer Tournament was equally intense, with heaps of goals scored, passes made, shots taken and some impressive saves keeping the games close. Player of the Day went to Sam H from 7D, who demonstrated excellent skill, sportsmanship and a genuine enjoyment of the game.

Overall, the week was simply amazing. A huge thank you to all the staff and students who participated, helped organise activities, cheered from the sidelines or simply came down to watch. Your enthusiasm, support and willingness to get involved made HPE Week such a memorable celebration of sport, participation and the SHC community.
