Volleyball Week 3
On Saturday 2 November, Round 3 of the 2024 Santa Sabina Invitational Volleyball Competition was held. The weather wasn’t favourable but our teams achieved some great wins. Our Year 7 team got their first win of the season with a brave performance. The first two sets were decided by a couple of points, but our team held their nerve with amazing serving. Pymble 1 only gave up eight points across all three sets against Barker, which showed their focused mentality throughout the whole game. Pymble 3, Pymble 5, and Pymble 6 have continued their strong start to the season and remain undefeated.

Senior Firsts report from our Volleyball Captain – Chloe Gu (Year 11)
This week Pymble 1 had a successful victory against Barker College, taking the game 3 to 0, with outstanding set scores: 25 to 1, 25 to 2, and 25 to 5. Shout out to Isabella Chen (Year 11) for her consistent serves which were a crucial part of our victory.
We encountered a cloudy day with a few sprinkles of rain, but we adjusted well to the situation. There are a few aspects that we will need to work on and improve as we prepare for the upcoming Nationals. Taking ownership of the ball, minimising hesitation, and being consistent are crucial for developing our skills and winning the game.
Despite having the pressure to play at our best, Pymble 1 understand that playing Volleyball means having fun, and everyone cheered on the sidelines for our teammates playing on court, showing the true Pymble spirit.
