Snowsports

Over the recent school holidays, nine girls and I competed in numerous competitions, with the highlight being the 2025 Interschools Regionals Competition in Thredbo. The event brought students from schools in the Greater Sydney area to compete in a variety of events across skiing and snowboarding. Our 2025 Snowsports Season started off with a bang with Arielle McBrien (Year 6) winning the Bronze Medal in the Scots Race and Elise Shen (Year 3) winning the Bronze Medal in the Redlands Cup. Followed by a team dinner, which was an amazing opportunity to bond as a team and get excited for the week ahead. Despite some less than ideal weather, the week was full of determined racers and support from all team members. Across the week, we excitedly raced in various events with all of us having extremely successful outcomes. Some significant achievements include: 

  • Elise Shen (Year 3) and Marina Chen (Year 4), finishing 2nd in Ski Cross as a team
  • Elise Shen (Year 3) placing 1st in Moguls
  • Arielle McBrien (Year 6) placed 4th in Moguls

In addition, seven girls placed in the Top 15 advancing through to the Interschools State Competition in August. 

This season was exceptional, made possible from the support of our parents. Mr Maling and Ms Stephenson. Thank you for giving up part of your holidays to support and encourage us. Congratulations to all the girls who competed and good luck to those competing in the State Championships.

This 2025 Snowsports Season was a great year. While we didn’t have many on our team, we were still a strong and supportive crew. We kicked off the week with a team dinner where we all worked together to make signs and get excited for the days ahead. Throughout the week we gave it our all in different races, with many of us qualifying for State. It was fun and memorable and I’m looking forward to cross country and States coming up – and doing it all again next year. 

Big thank you to Zaz, our amazing Snowsports Captain for bringing the team together and making this season so special.
