Senior Girls Cricket

Last Monday, the senior girls cricket team travelled to Craigieburn to play a match against Hume Grammar.

Though it was the first time playing competitive cricket for a majority of the team, we put in a strong effort fielding first highlighted by two wickets, including a very impressive one handed catch behind the stumps!

Chasing just over 100, we were unable to get the job done but remained enthusiastic throughout. The day was highlighted by the positive attitudes and supportive environment brought by every member of the team.

It was wonderful to see the progression of skills over the day, and the way in which everyone came closer together as members of the Year 12 cohort. Big thanks to Mr Morton and Ms Knight for your roles as coaches, scorers and supporters from the sidelines!

Senior Boys Cricket

Senior boys in Year 11 and 12 had a super enjoyable and memorable experience last week when they attended interschool cricket.  This was made more enjoyable as it was the last school cricket event for the Year 12s.  The boys won their pool comfortably winning game one, and in an absolute thriller in game two where they needed 'two off one' on the last ball, to chase down sixty four off six overs. 

With some superb efforts with the bat by Ethan Raynor, Luke Cameron and Henry Bobetic sealing the game with a four off the last ball, the boys set a great tally of eighty four off seven overs in the grand final with the bat. 

After six overs of bowling the boys were still hanging in there, with the opposition needing ten runs off the last over. The boys lost as the other team sealed the game with four leg byes off the second last ball needing only two runs. Overall, all the boys played some superb cricket and gave their all in what was for some of them their last time representing the College. Credit to all the boys who participated and demonstrated the school values so well.

Game 1 SH 2 for 90 d Mount Ridley 6 for 10
Game 2 SH 1 for 67 d Hume Grammar 1 – 64
Game 3 SH 0 for 88 lost to Edgars Creek 1for 89

Senior Volleyball

Our senior students enjoyed a fantastic day representing the College at the Senior Volleyball competition. For most of the students volleyball is not their primary sport, however they demonstrated great enthusiasm, competitiveness, and teamwork throughout the day.

The girls’ team won one match and lost two, showing determination and resilience in every game. Grace Mattocks was named Most Valuable Player. 

The boys’ team secured one win and one loss. Griffin Fox earned Most Valuable Player honours for his skill and contribution to the team.

All students embraced the opportunity to work together, support one another, and represent the College with pride.
