Girls Team
The girls competed in Year 11 competition, which is one division higher. They were also down two senior players, who were replaced by Alicia A and Ava K from Year 8, and with a last-minute transfer of Mariam N from the boys’ team to the girls’ team.
The girls played five games for 7th place.
1 win
1 loss
3 draws

Boys Team
The boys competed in the Year 12 division and played four games, for 3rd place /24 teams.
3 wins
1 loss (Semifinal)
They displayed a tremendous level of volleyball. In the semifinal, against a very experienced team, they lost the deciding set 15–14. It was almost a perfect display of athleticism and high-level volleyball, and I was extremely proud by what they achieved.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this possible. The commitment, support, and teamwork shown by staff and students have been outstanding.
