Senior Soccer – Cate Mahony Year 12

On Thursday 7 May a group of Year 11 and 12 girls and boys went excitedly off to school soccer. With a cold start at both Craigieburn and Greenvale, both groups pushed through their two games with ripper plays, supportive talk and lots of laughs.

A word to describe the day from Max Lenan (Year 12), who played in the boys team was: “exhilarating"! And a quote that encapsulates the day from Elena (Year 11), who played in the girls team is, “We dropped them like flies!”

Some highlights from the girls games was Isla playing a whole half without shoes, Cate’s near miss of a broken nose and our ‘1, 2, 3. S, H, C!’ chant. Overall, the day was a nice break from the pressure of Year 11 and 12, and being able to come together with friends and teammates to play some solid soccer games was heaps of fun.

Although we didn’t move to the next round, the enthusiasm was still there – well done everyone!

Senior AFL - Lewis Bond Year 12

A massive start to the senior footy season with two dominant wins on the same day which see us move into Round 2 full of confidence.

First up against Mt Ridley, the boys set the tone early with a huge 66–6 win. The pressure around the contest, clean ball movement and teamwork across the ground proved too much to handle as we controlled the game from start to finish.

We backed it up against Craigieburn with another outstanding performance, running away 55–7 winners. Even without our two best players, the whole squad stepped up and showed the depth and determination within the group. Every player played their role and the intensity stayed high all day.

A special mention to Val Smith, who was named overall 'best on ground’ after an elite performance across both games. His effort and impact on the wing and around the footy were outstanding and helped lead the side to a perfect day.

Two games, two big wins onto Round 2.

Year 7 NMR Tennis

A terrific day was had by the students with some excellent tennis being played by both the boys & girls.

Some close matches throughout the day made the competition tense. In the end the girls managed to win their final and take their place in the State competition in November. The boys battled bravely and only fell short to qualify for the final.
