On Monday 31 August the Senior Boys Netball Team travelled to Glen Waverly to compete in the state competition. Unfortunately, we arrived 10 minutes late to the first game, so we had to make a massive comeback to get the win. We managed to pull it off really well, with Sam, Ben, Peter and Will showing off their skills and helping us secure the victory.
In the second game we were up against Castlemaine Secondary where a well fought out game came to a loss with Jono, Angus, Fin all proving their abilities to give a good close game.
Lastly was the toughest matchup against Berwick College where everyone battled well taking another close loss. Massive thank you to the support of Ms Vandenham and Ms Brennan who came along, helped coach and drove the team to compete at such a high level. - Archer Cook
Regional basketball was heaps of fun as always! Huge thanks to School Sport Victoria for running such a great day. We fell just short of a perfect run, going 2–3 overall after a nail-biter loss to SEDA College. Super proud of the team for digging deep, especially since we only had a 6-player rotation. Thanks to everyone who supported us on the day! - Sam Haslett
