Matt Grice, Director of Sport K – 12
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the support from of all students, parents, care givers and staff that has been provided during the summer sport season. The dedication and hard work has made a significant difference in ensuring a successful and enjoyable season.
Saturday saw the 1sts Cricket team receive the Archer Sheild for the 5th successive time from Mr Meakin after finishing the season undefeated. They have also extended their unbeaten streak to 18 CAS games. The dedication and hard work put in by each team member, coupled with the guidance and support from Mr Banes and Mr Staunton, have been instrumental in this remarkable achievement. This undefeated cricket season has not only brought immense joy and pride to our team, but it has also united us as a tight-knit family, forging lifelong friendships and memories. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to watch such a phenomenal season and look forward to carrying this winning spirit into the future.
Well done also to the 10ths Basketball (below) and the other undefeated teams this season. Amazing effort and a big congratulations to all!
Rowing held a very successful training camp in Berry, NSW over the weekend as they prepare for Nationals. A huge thank you to Mr Carroll and his team for facilitating this fantastic initiative.
A big thank you to Mr Pardey who took our Mountain Bike team to the Australian Mountain Bike Interschools Championships in Thredbo last week. The competition has a great atmosphere with competitors supporting and encouraging each other; this is reflective of the current direction of adventure sport and physical recreation for the masses. There is rivalry in the race but frequent stops in practice to chat, assist and cheer on riders from other schools. It was great to see so many students from around Australia exercising and competing in the Australian Alpine Region.
A reminder there is a sport free weekend this Saturday for the Senior School. An excellent chance for all to take a breath before the Winter season starts in full next week. A schedule of the Winter Season training and Co-Curricular Activities can be found here.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
Kind regards
Matt Grice
Director of Sport
