Sports Captain Update
Prepared by Phoebe Zahl

We are over half way through term 3, and sport at the College is in full swing. We have already had terrific success throughout the year at all GISSA competitions, with both the 9/10 Div 1 Girls and Boys Basketball teams recently taking out the 2025 GISSA Championships.

Congratulations also to Eleanor Cook, Reuben Cook and Natalia Eyck on representing Saint Ignatius College at the recent Victorian Schools Snowsports Championships at Mount Buller. Eleanor competed in the 'Skier Cross' and 'Alpine Giant Slalom'. Reuben competed in the 'Ski Cross' and 'Alpine Giant Slalom' and Natalia competed in the 'Alpine Giant Slalom' and 'Ski Cross'.

Another massive congratulations goes to the Year 7-8 Girls Netball Team on their recent notification that they have qualified for the ‘Finals Day’ of the Victorian Schools Netball Championship on Tuesday the 9th of September. This is a prestigious event and we are sure the girls will do the College proud.

Congrats must also go to the Senior Boys AFL team on making it to the semi finals of the Herald Sun Shield Div 1 Championships, even though the final result didn't go our way. A valiant effort!

The 9/10 Boys AFL team were narrowly beaten on the 'Finals Day' of the Herald Sun Shield Div 2 Championships on Tuesday 26th August. They did a phenomenal job making the Finals series and should be proud of their efforts!

Thank you to all the coaches, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts, all their hard work have been instrumental in these successes. Congratulations also to our athletes for their continued enthusiasm and contributions to our College sport program.
