Conclusion
Holly Brimelow & Zara Veal College Sports Captains
FROM THE SPORTS COORDINATORS 2026 has once again been an outstanding year for Sport at CLC. Our students have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm, determination and great sportsmanship, whilst continuing to strengthen the sporting community that we know and love. The Catholic Girls Sport Association Victoria (CGSAV) competitions provided students with countless opportunities to excel, bringing home championship titles while also encouraging many students to try sports they may never have previously considered. This year alone, more than 400 students participated in sport in some capacity, a number we are incredibly proud of and one we continue to strive to grow. Beyond CGSAV, our students continued to make their mark across a range of sporting pathways. In Basketball Victoria events, students competed in both the 3xCup Championships and the Victorian Secondary Schools Challenge, with our Intermediate team crowned Division 2 Champions. Netball Victoria competitions also delivered exceptional results. Four teams competed at the qualifying stage, with three progressing through to the State Finals. The highlight was undoubtedly our Junior A Team, who were crowned State Champions in a remarkable achievement for the players and coaches involved. Our Gymnastics Team enjoyed another successful year, with athletes producing outstanding team and individual performances. Similarly, our Aerobics Team achieved excellent results, with eight students qualifying for the National Championships on the Gold Coast and finishing within the top six in Australia in their respective divisions, an incredible accomplishment. We would also like to congratulate the individual athletes who broke CGSAV records throughout the year, etching their names into both CGSAV and CLC sporting history. Our Equestrian Team continued to showcase the diversity of opportunities available within CLC Sport, competing across a range of competitions throughout the year. These athletes, alongside their horses, displayed exceptional commitment, sportsmanship and team spirit. Equestrian competition requires a tremendous amount of support from families and staff, and we congratulate all riders on their achievements. We would also like to sincerely thank Mrs Sanderson, whose dedication and support of the program has been invaluable throughout the year.
At its heart, 2026 has been a year of embracing challenges, enjoying the journey and celebrating the rewards that come from hard work and perseverance. We are fortunate to work with students who consistently step outside their comfort zones, adapt to changing circumstances and tackle every opportunity with a positive attitude. Whether the outcome was a win, a lesson or a new experience, our students have continued to represent CLC with pride and resilience. A special mention goes to our Sports Co-Captains, Holly Brimelow and Zara Veal, who have led with energy and passion throughout the year. Whilst balancing the demands of their final year and VCE studies, they have been exceptional role models who have set a positive example for younger students and embodied what it means to be a CLC sportsperson. Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication of our staff and coaches. Their time, encouragement and unwavering support behind the scenes make an enormous difference and we are incredibly grateful for everything they do. To all our athletes, congratulations on a year filled with effort, growth and achievement. Thank you for representing CLC with such pride, spirit and determination. We cannot wait to see what the next chapter of CLC Sport brings.
