Dear Parents and Guardians,
Saturday saw the majority of our summer season teams in trials and practice for CAS Round 6 starting this week. The Water Polo community were straight into it though, as they started the combined CAS/GPS competition. Due to our fantastic results in Term 4 all our teams have made it into the top tier competition for the 1st time in Cranbrook’s history! A tremendous achievement for our Water Polo community. Our 1sts and 2nds had narrow defeats against Knox, while our 3rds, 15Bs, 14As and 14Bs all had strong wins.
Our rowers have been working hard over the weekend and holidays in preparation for this week’s state championships at Penrith. We wish them all the best and look forward to another successful campaign.
It was fantastic to see our new Year 7 students dive into their first Saturday sport experience over the weekend! This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for them. Over the next six years, these students will not only develop their skills but also form strong friendships with their teammates. They’ll create countless memories filled with fun, laughter, and teamwork, and we hope to see them achieving great success along the way.
We’re excited to support the class of 2030’s ongoing growth as athletes and look forward to seeing all they will achieve in the year ahead and beyond.
(Year 7 first week of Cranbrook Sport.)

Looking forward to seeing everyone around the grounds this weekend.
