The team of 11, consisting of Charli Nicol, Charlotte Murray, Lily Stanesby, Ane Smith, Cate Simpson, Zoe Dixon, Jamison Camilleri, Emily Green, Anna Hewitt, Tylah Foley and Charlotte Middleton came up against major sporting schools from across the state including the likes of Maribyrnong College, Ballarat Grammar and The Scot’s School, Albury.

After playing 9 games of consistently strong round robin netball, the girls finished 3rd in the state, narrowly being defeated by the overall state champions “Our Lady of Mercy College” by 1 goal.

A huge congratulations to this group of girls for this tremendous achievement! A big thanks also goes to Stacey Learmonth and Meagan Canaway for the organisation of the netball teams.
