State Snowsports Interschools Report 2023

In an exhilarating competition last week, Cranbrook Junior School’s Snowsports legends achieved outstanding results! 19 students from Kindergarten to Year 6 were invited to compete at the State Interschool competition at Perisher, 18 of whom were able to attend. This is an incredible feat, especially to have 6 students represent the School from K-2! Our Junior divisions threw themselves into every race, qualifying for Nationals in almost every single race! We are so proud of our Junior competitors: Rhys A, Steven H, Oliver K, Charlie R, Julian R, Sam S, James C, Hugo C, Xavier F, Imanol P, Cohen S, Sebastian S, Wynn A, Oscar C, Sam C, Orlando F, Ryan S and William Z.

Special congratulations go out to Charlie R who earned an individual BRONZE in Cross Country Classic. Our Junior teams also achieved podium finishes in:

Division 4 Alpine – Team BRONZE (Charlie R, Oli K, Rhys A, Steven H)

Division 5 Moguls – Team SILVER (Hugo C, James C, Sebastian S)

Division 4 Cross Country Classic – Individual BRONZE – Charlie R

Division 5 Cross Country Classic – Team SILVER (Hugo C, Xavier F, Sebastian S)

In a spectacular result across the lower divisions, the Junior School team nabbed 2^nd place overall in Primary point scores out of all of the Schools that attended. This is a fantastic achievement for our youngest athletes! The future looks bright, as our Junior School students achieved an impressive 9 Team qualifications and 13 Individual invitations to the National Australian Championship event.

Unfortunately, the season has concluded earlier than anticipated, and they have had to cancel Nationals due to lack of snow at Mt Buller. But the focus remains on our collective achievements and growth. Please join us in congratulating all of our youngest Snowsports athletes on a spectacular season.

Snowsports Captains: William Roberts, Joel Droga

IPSHA Athletics Carnival

A group of 31 students were selected to represent Cranbrook at the IPSHA Athletics Carnival on Wednesday, 31 August. It was an a very successful day at the carnival with 9 boys qualifying for the CIS Carnival based on their performances. The boys’ exceptional teamwork and commitment at training translated into numerous personal bests and Cranbrook’s best ever finish at the IPSHA Carnival. This achievement is a testament to the collective dedication of the students, coaches, and parents, all of whom played important roles in this season’s accomplishments. We congratulate all the boys who competed and wish all the best to those who made it through to the CIS Carnival.
