🏉 NSW All Schools Selection for AHS AFL Stars! 🏉

Congratulations to Albury High School students Ollie, Max and Pat, who have been selected in the NSW All Schools Aussie Rules Team following outstanding performances at the NSW All Schools Championships.

A special congratulations to Ollie, who was named the NSWCHS Best Player for the championship after a dominant tournament playing across half-back and the midfield.

The NSW All Schools team will now travel to Bundoora, Victoria, for the School Sport Australia Championships, commencing on 25 July 2026.

Throughout the championships:
🔹 Ollie excelled across half-back and midfield.
🔹 Max provided strong run and carry on the wing.
🔹 Pat impressed in the ruck and forward line.
🔹 Tom played an important role in defence.
🔹 Charlie was a valuable contributor in the forward pocket.

It was fantastic to see our students representing both their school and community clubs, with Ollie and Charlie playing for the Albury Tigers, while Max, Tom and Pat are members of the Lavington Panthers.

The NSWCHS team recorded impressive results throughout the carnival:

🏆 CHS 6.6 (42) def CCC 3.7 (25)

🔹 CIS 3.5 (23) def CHS 1.2 (8)

We wish Ollie, Max and Pat all the very best as they represent NSW at the School Sport Australia Championships and congratulate Tom and Charlie on their outstanding performances throughout the championships.

What a fantastic week at Riverina Drama Camp!

Our students immersed themselves in workshops, performances and creative challenges, developing their skills while connecting with like-minded students from across the region.

A huge thank you to the organisers for providing such a valuable and memorable experience.

We are also thrilled to have had 10 Albury High School students successfully accepted into State Drama Camp later this term. Congratulations to all students involved, we can’t wait to see what they achieve next!

YEAR 11 FARM CASE STUDY EXCURSION
Recently the Year 11 Agriculture class travelled to Culcairn to meet Cam and Bianca Schultz of "Claverton" farm. Students interviewed the farmers and collected information to use for a case study report assessment task. Cam and Bianca were able to show students some of the latest technologies used in both their sheep and cropping enterprises and gain an understanding on management decisions they make every day. The Year 11 class would like to thank them both for giving up their time and assisting them with their studies.

SOUND LAB: This term, Year 8 Music students have been composing their own rap songs. Inspired by many topics and hip hop genres, students have learnt how to write lyrics, create an engaging backing track and how to record their voices through a Digital Audio Workstation. We can't wait for the finished products!

Year 7 Visual Arts Excursion to Wagga.

Our Year 7 Visual Arts students enjoyed a fantastic day visiting the ARTEXPRESS exhibition at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery on Monday. Students were inspired by the outstanding HSC artworks on display and were especially excited to see artworks by year 12 2025 Albury High School students, Mia McEachern and Carl Liden exhibited in the gallery.
After the exhibition, students enjoyed lunch together before returning to school after a rewarding day of creativity and learning.

AUSSIE SELECTION: Congratulations to Sienna on her selection to represent Australia at her first Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and her first Senior Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, California.

This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to Sienna’s dedication, hard work and outstanding performances in the pool. To earn selection on two senior Australian teams is an incredible milestone and one that reflects years of commitment from both Sienna and her support network.

Pictured with Sienna are her NSW/ACT Performance Hub coaches, Shannon and Laura, who have played an important role in her development. A special shout out must also go to her home club coach, Miss Shirley, whose guidance and support have been instrumental throughout Sienna’s journey over the last year.

At the Australian Trials, Sienna delivered outstanding performances across her three breaststroke events, winning gold in both the 50m and 100m (PB) Breaststroke and claiming bronze in the 200m (PB) Breaststroke. Her results have also provided the opportunity to be selected as part of Australia’s Medley Relay team.

Albury High School was also proudly represented by Isabelle, who competed in all three breaststroke events at the Australian Trials.

Isabelle produced strong performances against the nation's best swimmers, placing 17th in the 50m Breaststroke and 21st in both the 100m and 200m Breaststroke events.

Following the team announcement last night, athletes were able to celebrate with family and friends on pool deck — a wonderful tradition that recognises the invaluable support provided by those who help make these achievements possible.

Everyone at Albury High School is immensely proud of what Sienna has accomplished and excited to see her compete on the international stage. We also congratulate Isabelle on her outstanding performances and representation of both Albury High School and the North Albury Swimming Club at the national level.

Glasgow and California await, with a quick stop in Germany for a staging camp along the way.

We can’t wait to watch you shine in the green and gold, Sienna! 🇦🇺💚💛

Alyce Parker Cup Champions! 🏆
Congratulations to our Albury High School Under 15 Girls Football Team on their outstanding victory over Xavier High School in the Alyce Parker Cup at Lavington Sports Ground on Wednesday, 10 June.
It was a tightly contested match, with AHS taking an early lead in the first quarter. Xavier High School applied strong pressure throughout the second and third quarters, forcing our girls to defend fiercely and work hard for every possession. The team came out determined in the final quarter, kicking another goal to create some valuable breathing space and secure the win.
Final Score: Albury High School 19 def. Xavier High School 7
A special congratulations to Sima, who was named Player of the Match for her exceptional performance.
Thank you to Amelia for running water and to Tiara for her fantastic coaching and guidance.
This win means our girls have now qualified for the State Finals, which will be held later this year in the ACT. We are incredibly proud of the team's effort, teamwork, and determination.
Well done, girls!

HEY TEACHER! LEAF THOSE KIDS ALONE. 🍃🍁
Agriculture is not always at the farm. Mrs Lee's Y7 class spent some time at the front of the school during their lesson to collect the Autumn leaves. These are usually added to our compost bays but we also collect dry leaves to use as bedding in our chicken pens. Thank you to Craig one of our General Assistants for getting the piles ready for pick up by Y7 students. Thank you Y7 for "branching" out from our normal Ag lesson too!
