Intermediate Girls A Team - Our Year 9/10 netball day was a big success, with our team winning every game. We beat Wallan 10–4 and Mount Ridley by 4 goals, and played strongly against Mickleham and Elevation, where Isla showed great sportsmanship. Everyone played their role well—Isla M led strongly in Centre, Isla W shot accurately in GA, and Isla E defended well in GD. Asha and Mila worked hard through the midcourt, Annabelle was reliable in GS as well as the mid court and Emma showed great versatility in GA/GS. Milla was impressive in both GD and GS with her courageous intercepts. Overall, it was a great effort from everyone and we can’t wait until the next round! Isla M and Isla W
Senior Boys Team - The Year 12 Boys Netball Team has made our school incredibly proud with their outstanding performance at the interschool tournament, finishing as champions in a cruisey 9-1 win against Kyneton Secondary College, after a series of impressive matches.
From the very first game, the team demonstrated exceptional teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship. Their communication on the court and ability to adapt under pressure set them apart from the competition, culminating in a well-deserved victory in the final. A special mention must go to Sam Haslett and Finn Collins who were both standout players throughout the tournament. Everyone on the team played an essential role to the team’s success, whether it was William Mcleans intercepts, Valentine Smiths hustle or Lewis Bonds passing everybody played a role.
Congratulations to all members of the team for their commitment and effort, as well as our coach Ms Vandenham. This achievement is a testament to the hard work put in by everybody involved. Well done, boys! - Ben and Ruben

Senior Girls B Team - On Monday 30 March a group of Year 12s attended the Mickleham Senior Division Netball. Across the day we had varied success winning one game but unfortunately losing two. Our team built connections on the court across the day and played very well in the heat. Apart from not progressing to the next round, we are very proud of our performance, efforts and the improvements we made across the day. Charli
