Conquering the Mountain

Wenona triumphed at the Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships in September, achieving the ‘Overall Champion School’ title in the Secondary Female category of the national competition.

After a campaign characterised by tough courses and tougher weather, including snow and hail storms, our 22 competitors surpassed the best skiers and snowboarders in the country, with a haul of 10 medals - two gold, three silver and five bronze.

This outstanding achievement reflected the depth of talent and consistency of every team member as well as an impressive level of sportsmanship and mutual support.

The students’ nationals success followed their remarkable results at the State Interschools Snowsports Championships, where Wenona won the Secondary Female Overall Cup, with nine medals and 16 top-six placings.

Strong performances were seen across all disciplines, particularly our Alpine, Cross Country, Ski Cross, Slopestyle and Moguls competitors, who won medals in their events.

Snowsports requires significant commitment and Wenona would like to especially thank the School’s Snowsports parents, so many of whom supported the team, including braving pouring rain, wind and snow to volunteer as course officials.
