Snowsports

The Oxley College Snowsports Team recently participated in the 2023 Subaru NSW/ACT/QLD State Championships, held at Perisher, and they produced some wonderful results. 30 students ranging from Year 3 to Year 12 travelled to the competition and took part in Alpine, Skier Cross, Moguls, Cross Country Classics and Cross Country Relay events. The Junior School Oxley Team came second in cross country and sixth overall in the co-educational school competition. The Senior School Oxley Team came first in cross country and fifth overall in the co-educational school competition.

21 students in total, across all five divisions, qualified and were selected to compete at the Australian Interschools Championships, held at Mt Buller, Victoria. Unfortunately, due to insufficient snow, the Australian Championships were cancelled. Despite this disappointment, the team are looking forward to competing once again next year and encourage other skiers and snowboarders to take part in the Regional Championships, held in July next year.

Congratulations to:
