The Victorian Interschools system operates a little differently from that in New South Wales, as does Mt Buller to NSW resorts, so there is always an element of mild trepidation when we venture south of the border. At least from my impression and retrospection on the week, the experience was exceptional on all levels. Mt Buller is an absolutely stunning environment to ski and snowboard in; the race rules, while different, do make sense and allow for measured scheduling; the people staffing and enjoying the mountain seemed so genuinely happy and always ready to assist; our team parents revelled in the experience of watching their sons race and compete; and the boys, as usual, represented the School outstandingly in competition and in leisure at all times. It truly was a marvellous week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-swr-span-all\">Please see below for a summary of National Rankings by day and event.

Rankings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-swr-span-all\">\n<li>Prep School: 9th out of 11 boys&#8217; schools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Senior School: equal 4th in Australia out of 11 boys&#8217; schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-swr-span-all\">It is pertinent to point out that, of the three schools that placed above us in the Secondary Male Pointscore \u2013 The Scots College (Scots) (198 points), Melbourne Grammar (161) and The King\u2019s School (King\u2019s) (110), we know that Scots and King\u2019s have extensive programmes for Snowsports. From Melbourne Grammar\u2019s results we might assume the same. Our team continues to contend exceptionally well amongst the ranks of some very fine competitors. We have ranked 4th overall in the past three National competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-swr-span-all\">Many thanks for the incredible effort that the parents put into supporting their son\u2019s skiing and snowboarding, and for their assistance in managing teams and volunteering on courses. Many thanks also to the School for its ongoing support of Snowsports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-swr-span-all\">It is never easy to leave the mountains, and an especially complex set of emotions always presents when one travels back from Nationals. It is the anticipation of the 2026 Race Season that pushes us on now. Well done to all boys who competed across the three events this season and GO SHORE!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-swr-span-all\"><strong>Mr Warwick Payne<\/strong><br>MIC Snowsports<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29244,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[24],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-29243","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/29243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=29243"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=29243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
