The students were:

Year 7 – Lara Talevski, Brianna Serrao and Paige Corbo

Year 9 – Jade Talevski, Anastasia Bebonis, Mya Kazzi, Altea Manigsaca and Jaytita Sawatdipruksa

Year 11 – Mikayla Kazzi

Junior Division

Lara Talevski played in the Junior Singles Division and made it to the Semi-Finals, losing a tight contest to OLSH Kensington. 

She won every match up until that stage, with victories over Mount St Joseph Milperra, Bethlehem Ashfield, Monte North Sydney, Santa Sabina Strathfield and Marist Sisters Woolwich.

Jade had previously won the Junior Division in both 2018 and 2019.

Mya Kazzi and Anastasia Bebonis represented the College in the Intermediate Doubles Division and defeated Trinity Auburn, with close losses to Marist Sisters Woolwich and Loreto Kirribilli.

Senior Division

Mikayla Kazzi played in the Senior Singles Division and finished equal second in the competition on a first-past-the-post basis, as both Senior pools were merged to accommodate seven schools.

Altea Manigsaca and Jaytita  Sawatdipruksa represented the College in the Senior Doubles Division, even though they are both only in Year 9, and they won some and lost some of their matches against Monte Sant’Angelo North Sydney, Santa Sabina Strathfield, Marist Sisters Woolwich, Loreto Kirribilli, St Clare’s Waverley and Bethlehem Ashfield.
