School Sport Wa Senior Volleyball Tournament

We entered this tournament with 5 teams (3 boys & 2 girls) and walked away with 4 championship titles All teams had been training after school and during breaks for the majority of term 2 and it paid off. Our teams had a fantastic day, all experiencing success and several teams undefeated.

Team 1 (Girls) – A Division Champions. The girls nominated as B Division but ended up taking out the whole competition They only dropped one set the entire day and played 7 games plus finals. A fantastic team performance and great individual efforts from Dawt Tha Hniang and Jasmine Agullo.

Team 2 (Girls) – C Division Champions. The girls had a fantastic day, undefeated and straight sets champions All girls played very well and their sportsmanship was wonderful. Fantastic serving from Deza Siman and Dana Diaz played very consistently throughout the day.

Team 1 (Boys) – B Division Champions. A fantastic group of students who deserved the win at this tournament All the boys played extremely well and undefeated. The only negative was a severe ankle injury to Jamal Fontana who, amazingly, still managed to play out the day and support his team.

Team 2 (Boys) – 3rd Place. Another fantastic effort from this team in a very competitive pool, however it only took the loss of one set the entire day to cost them a place in the finals. The team deserved a chance at the championship but unfortunately it was not to be All players had a great day and they supported each other very well.

Team 3 (Boys) – C Division Champions Another undefeated team These boys played very well all day and did not drop a set. The support and encouragement was fantastic to watch and a special mention to Guarav Sharma who played very consistently all tournament.

The 2023 Sevenoaks boys' interschool soccer team have had a busy and exciting term. They competed in the SSWA Southeast Regional Pennant competition against Belmont City College, Mazenod College and Al- Ameen College.

The team have played all three schools both at home and away, resulting in four wins and two losses, one against Mazenod in the first round and one against Belmont in the last.

This resulted in the team finishing 2nd on the ladder, missing out on the title of regional champions by 1 point.

Well done to all the students involved, the quality of skill and sportsmanship in this team is some of the best we have had in a long time. Special thanks to Coach McLeay and to all the students who stayed back after school to cheer on their friends. It made all the difference. We'll get 'em next year!

Volleyball Charity Fundraiser

Due to the success of last term's charity futsal tournament, SSC has decided to make our sporting fundraiser a termly event! With help from Co-Captain JV, Ms McLeay and Mr Middleton organised a round-robin style volleyball tournament for staff and students late this term. Six student teams and one staff team, comprising of Ms McLeay, Ms Davies, Ms Wallis, Mr Flavell, Mrs Burrell and Ms Waly, competed in front of friends and colleagues to raise money for Save the Children.

The competition ran over three days, with the grand final taking place on the second last day of term. The two grand final teams, CCC and YBC battled it out during lunchtime in front of roughly 100 onlookers, before YBC took out the 2023 charity volleyball champions title. Congratulations to the finalists and a huge thank you to every single person involved. Thanks to you, we were able to raiseover$200forthisincrediblyworthycause.Welldone!

The Student Services team ran a 'pop-in' event in week 9 of this term. This was an opportunity for students to see first hand the different support people here at Sevenoaks in a fun and relaxed way.

Students were able to walk through the Student Services area whilst engaging in some fun activities. They were given a “Student Services Passport” that, once completed, led them to Toastie Town where they received a yummy, hot toasted sandwich!

The activities students participated in were designed to help the team understand what students know about Student Services and identify areas the team can work on improving

Students who completed all three activities went in the draw for some prizes which were drawn that Friday. Congratulations to our lucky winners were:

1st Prize - Irmuun-Oyu Barsbaatar

2nd Prize - Nyeemah Gonzalez-Tammen

3rd Prize - Jaison Stock
