Shooting – Ryan has displayed brilliant calmness under pressure to score an amazing 96/100 and was leading the event.

Zone Hockey – Our teams dominated the evening schedule and came out winners in all of their matches. There was an abundance of team play, with great goals and defending in equal measure. Their play has been complimented by the professional coaches.

Archery – Students have certainly shown they have the eye for a bullseye! All students have constantly hit the target on numerous occasions.

There has been such a fantastic attitude and team spirit displayed by our students. They have all represented Victoria with pride.

Well done to every one of our fantastic sporting students!
