On 18 August, my horse 'Stetson Blue' aka ‘Slider’ and I, had the amazing opportunity to represent Sacred Heart College at the August Interschool Dressage Day at Boneo Park. We competed at the Novice level, riding two dressage tests each made up of a combination of movements judged for precision, rhythm, and partnership.
We came third in our first test and second in our second test, and our combined scores won us Reserved Champion. It was such an incredible result for our first time competing at a higher level together, and I’m so insanely proud of my boy!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way, Slider and I couldn’t have done it without you!
We’re so excited to represent Sacred Heart again at the October Interschool Dressage Day and at the Interschool Dressage Championships in January 2026.

We would like to congratulate Matthew Skewes on his achievements while representing SHC this year. Matthew competed in the Petstock Equestrian Victoria Interschool State Championships 2025, held at Boneo park Equestrian Centre in early April. Matthew proudly represented Sacred Heart College in Dressage and Show Horse events with horse ‘Veuve’ (Charlie) an off the track retired race horse. Together they were awarded the broad sash for Champion in the Dressage and Reserve Champion Show Horse.
Matthew was selected to represent Sacred Heart College and Victoria as a member of team Vic at the School Sport Australia Aquatic Games 2025. The National level event saw teams competing from all Australian states and Fiji. Competing in nine events, Matthew placed top 10 in all events managing to break five Victorian state records and one national record during the six day competition held in Brisbane.
Swimming Victoria’s Country Short Course Championships were recently held in Bendigo. Competitors from across the State came together to compete, with Matthew taking home Bronze in the 50m Butterfly and 50m Backstroke.

We done Matthew, what great achievements.
