Dear Parents and Guardians,
A huge thank you to our 1st XVIII team and the entire Cranbrook community for an unforgettable Friday night of AFL. It was incredible to see so many supporters braving the cold — especially our boarding community, who showed up in full voice, and the parents who made the effort to be there and cheer on the boys. Your energy from the sidelines helped lift the team and made the win all the more special. Moments like these remind us of what school spirit is all about.
Congratulations also to Edward N, Noah D, Spencer M, and Peter T, who represented the CAS 1st AFL team against GPS on Monday, securing a strong 80–33 win!
I’d also like to thank all the students and supporters who came out to cheer on our home games against Trinity on Hordern Oval on Saturday. The school was buzzing with energy, with the Boarding Parents’ Weekend, three Old Boys’ reunions, and both the Rugby and Football Supporters’ Groups running a busy canteen.
We enjoyed some fantastic results across the day, with standout performances from our 2nds, 3rds, and 16A and 16B rugby teams, Mr Lewis’s Junior A AFL and 1sts AFL teams. A special mention must go to the 2nds and 16As, who both turned around previous defeats under Friday Night Lights to score impressive wins. The 16As, in particular, flipped a 30-point loss into a 31–7 victory — a result their coach, Mr Pyle, described as: “As good as it gets”
Thank you again to everyone who helped create such a spirited and successful day for the Cranbrook community.
Looking forward to House Football Day tomorrow. We wish everyone the best of luck, then have a wonderful holiday break. Thank you for another great term of Cranbrook sport.
