Inter-House Tennis

Congratulations to Docker who are once again the Inter-House Tennis Champions.

Equestrian

A big congratulations to Hannah Doolan (Year 10) who competed at the annual Australian Show Jumping Championships with her horse Tulara Lady Zirocca. Hannah had a very successful competition over several days to make the final which she won! Hannah is now the Australian Junior (18 and Under) Showjumping Champion!

This was very well deserved after a lot of hard work training and competing throughout 2024. Hannah has competed extensively throughout Australia, Spain, the Netherlands and Qatar at various Grand Prix and World Cup events, in addition to the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Hockey

Congratulations to Jessica Weatherall who has been called up into the NSW U21 Indoor Hockey Team. She will compete at the Australian U’21 Indoor Hockey Championships to be held in December. 

Volleyball

Term 4 has seen the introduction of lunchtime social volleyball on Tuesdays which is proving to be very popular. Year 7 have been working on their skills and have improved rapidly over the past 3 weeks. From never playing or knowing how to serve, many girls are now starting to serve and play some shots.

We welcome everyone from Years 7-11 who would like to come and try volleyball. Play starts at 1.15pm each Tuesday. A reminder that no food is allowed to be consumed in the Sports Hall.

Final Sporting Fixtures

Please note that the final round of matches for Easts Touch, IGSA Water Polo, IGSA Tennis, IPSHA Basketball and Year 3 Football will take place on Saturday November 30. The final day of term is on December 2 (Speech Night) so we will be training and competing right up to the final Saturday. All players are expected to honour their commitment to their teams.
