SCSA Sport
Softball
It was a beautiful spring day for the Division 1 SCSA 1 Softball at Jells Park on Monday 10 October. As this was the first time we had played softball since 2019, it was certainly a big day of learning for all involved. All teams played well throughout the rounds to progress to the semi finals with the Junior and Intermediate teams winning through to the grand final.
Both the Junior and Intermediate teams faced tough opposition in the final with both teams having big losses to their opponents (Intermediates – OLSH, Juniors – Santa Maria) in the round games. Both teams started well with some great pitching and team play keeping their opposition to low scores while some good hitting and smart running had the score board ticking over. The teams continued to work well together with both reversing their results from earlier in the day to come away with the win.

Other Sport
3 v 3 Basketball
On Tuesday our U15, 3 v 3 basketballers participated in the Victorian Schools 3 v 3 competition. For some it was their first taste of 3 v 3 and the first time this group had played together. They played some fantastic team basketball throughout the rounds with big wins over Mordialloc College, Edinburgh College and Nunawading Christian College.
The quarter final saw a tight tussle with St Helena Sports Academy with numerous lead changes. However, the girls toughed it out to win by 1pointt! The semi-final was another tough game against a basketball academy school, Templestowe College, and it went down to the wire with the game going to overtime and the team once again winning by 1 point! The team started the grand final strongly, but the height of Mount Lilydale Mercy College proved too much in the end with the girls going down by 1 point.
Congratulations to Ella Wickstrom, Lucy Cracknell, Jessica Comas and Holly Kearney who all played superbly throughout the day.

A big congratulations to the students in Years 10 to 12 who have recently completed the Award. This was particularly challenging for Year 10 and 11 students to work through during the COVID lockdowns, so it has been a massive effort to complete it!
