On Wednesday the 7th August, six netball teams participated in the Victorian School Netball Championships at the State Netball Hockey Centre. The teams were selected in Term 2 and they have continued to train weekly to prepare for this competition.

The teams played between four to seven games and they played against a variety of city and country teams. All students should be commended on their willingness to win and to be a part of a team.

We had two teams who were undefeated on the day and who will now travel back to Melbourne in September for the Finals Day of competition. Congratulations to the Year 7 & 8 girls and the Year 9 & 10 girls!

A strong contingent of Year 12 students also participated and I thank them for their commitment to participate in the netball program at the College, as many of them have been members of the teams for a number of years.

I would also like to thank the small number of parents who supported the boys and girls and our four Saint Ignatius umpires, including students Imy Davis and Mackennah Melotte.

Lastly, thank you to our coaches: Ms Tash Slocombe, Ms Blair Shaw and former students, Max Kos and Lachie Hart.

I wish the Year 7 & 8 girls and the Year 9 & 10 girls the best of luck in September!
