On Monday 5 May our girls competed in netball at Boardman Stadium in Sunbury. Our Seniors B team won two games and drew one, while our A team won all six games! Two teams of Intermediate Year 9 & 10 girls also competed, with the B team winning all but one game, showing great teamwork. The A team won all games, including a final, and will now progress to the next round! Our girls had great energy on and off the court, supporting one another and providing opportunities for everyone to showcase their talents. We are all so grateful to have so many amazing netballers representing the College, and can’t wait cheer on our two A grade teams when they compete at the next level!

A terrific all round performance by the Senior Boys AFL Team saw them win all three games comfortably and only concede 11 points over the three games in their recent SSV Senior Sport Day. Is it to difficult to single out any specific players, as three great team efforts resulted in convincing wins.
Game 1 SHC 5.3.33 d Mt Ridley 1.5.11
Game 2 SHC 19.5.111 d Elevation 0.0.0
Game 3 SHC 11.11.77 d Craigieburn 0.0.0
The boys now turn their attention to the NMR round on Monday 30 June.
On Thursday 8 May, our Senior Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer Teams travelled to Epping to compete in an inter school tournament. The girls put on a strong performance, winning their only match by a single goal and securing a spot in the next round - well done! The boys played exceptionally well throughout the day, making it to a thrilling grand final. Despite their efforts, they narrowly missed out on the win. It was an exciting and proud day for our school, and we thank all of the staff involved.
The Sacred Heart College Girls' Soccer Team has been in action, showcasing their determination and teamwork across their recent matches.
Their first game resulted in a 0-2 loss, but the team quickly bounced back with an impressive 3-0 victory in their second match. Goal scorers across all games were Sian, Tessa, Sierra, and Charlotte, each finding the back of the net. The winning streak continued into their third game, where they secured another clean sheet with a 2-0 win.
Their most recent game ended in a hard-fought 2-2 draw, demonstrating their resilience and competitive spirit. The girls' team has shown great potential. Well done, girls!
The Sacred Heart College Boys' Soccer Team has had a mixed start to their season. They began with a fantastic display, achieving a resounding 6-0 victory in their opening game! The team displayed impressive teamwork and skill throughout the match.
Star performances came from our goal scorers in that first game: Tony, who had an outstanding game scoring a hat-trick with three goals, Dylan who added a fantastic goal, and Rhys who contributed two goals to secure the win.
Unfortunately, the boys faced a tougher challenge in their second game, resulting in a loss. Despite this setback, their strong start was enough to secure them second place in their pool!
Congratulations to the team and coaches.
