Snowsports – Interschools Success
During the July school holidays 36 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 represented Oxley at the Interschools Northern NSW Regional Snowsports Championships held at Perisher. There were over 900 students competing from 137 schools and very challenging weather conditions with winds reaching up to 80km/h over the four days of competition.
The Oxley competitors all displayed courage, determination and resilience throughout their training and competition. The team consisted of students of varying abilities ranging from first timers – with just two days of lessons prior to competing, right through to seasoned competitors, but all were there to have fun and give their best.
The event was also a wonderful opportunity to build community, with families attending the Snowsports Team dinner in Jindabyne, catching up for hot chocolates and skiing together throughout the week. Thank you to our many wonderful parents that supported the event as course officials and team managers.
A special congratulations to the Division 1 Male Alpine Team (Harrison K, Jude O, Thomas C) and the Division 2 Male Alpine Team (Douglas S, Harrison S, Jake P), both achieving Bronze medals in their events.
An amazing 24 students qualified as part of a team or as individuals to compete at the NSW State Championships in August. Together with the Cross Country and Slopestyle competitors, they will make Team Oxley 44 strong, with many students competing across multiple disciplines.
