Commencing the 2022 season was House Snowsports which was an exciting weekend full of action-packed Moguls, Alpine and Cross Country. Congratulations to Langley Templeton for winning the 2022 House Snowsports. The Snowsports Team then competed in the Victorian Cross Country Interschools at Mt Buller. There were some incredible performances across each division and event. St Catherine’s Junior School won the Overall Championship, and our Senior School finished a close third place. The 48-strong Team then competed at the Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships across Alpine, Moguls, Ski Cross, Snowboard GS, Snowboard Cross, and Ski Slopestyle disciplines. All students participated and performed with resilience, at times competing in some challenging conditions. St Catherine’s had an incredible 15 podiums for team performances and 11 individual podiums. Congratulations to each member of the Team. Every member contributed to the success of both our Junior and Senior Schools, becoming State Champions in Victoria! Our Senior School has held onto the overall Secondary School Championship since 2014. This is an extremely impressive return to the slopes, after two years away due to COVID. Our Team of 24 students made their way to Perisher, NSW for the Australian Interschools Championships. Congratulations to our Junior School who are the Australian Primary Female Overall Champions and to our Senior School, who despite not having any Year 11s or 12s competing, were able to finish runners up for the overall Championship. Thank you to all members of the St Catherine’s Snowsports community. We are looking forward to Snowsports Season 2023.
