We recently had the Rowville District Athletics event where 71 of our Year 3-6 competed at the Knox Athletics event. It was particularly pleased with how many of our students attended the optional before school training sessions leading up to the event! The general improvement across the school is definitely there and was evident if our District Athletics results with our total points scored at the event increasing from 256 points in 2026 to 326 points in 2027. A special congratulations is extended to the following students who have been invited to participate the Knox Divisional Athletics event of the 16th September:
Emily B. & Harper L. – Shot put.
Lucy P. & Ethan H. – Discus
Hannah K. – High jump.
Kaidence R. – 100m & Triple jump.
Samara B. – Triple jump.
Day 1 of competition of the Rowville District ‘Summer’ interschool sports:
Our first day of competition was completed on Thursday 27th August. We had students competing in the sports of Cricket, Handball, Softball, Tennis, & Volleyball. Both the Girls’ and Boys’ Softball teams had wonderful days – remaining undefeated in day 1 of competition; as to did our Girls’ Handball team. While the Boys’ Handball and Boys’ cricket teams also had strong days, winning the majority of their matches.
