Interschools Training Scholarships

This year, Snow Australia partnered with Interschools to offer training scholarships. Nine Oxley students applied and received a scholarship to attend a training day at the National Snowsports Training Centre in Jindabyne. Students took part in strength and conditioning sessions, acro training on the facility’s trampolines, and took part in a 2-hour session on the bag jumps. All students were grateful for the opportunity to learn from professional Snowsports athletes and found it to be a rewarding experience.

Congratulations to all Oxley Snowsports athletes on a wonderful season. We look forward to the return of Snowsports next year and hope to see many new faces from both the Junior and Senior School join the team in 2026.
