Five Straight Wins for St Catherine’s Snowsports Team
Five Straight Wins for St Catherine’s Snowsports Team
Well done to all the students and families who participated in the 2018 Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships. Despite racing from behind enemy lines, Perisher New South Wales, our St Catherine’s students produced some outstanding performances, which ultimately contributed towards St Catherine’s fifth consecutive victory at the National Championships. St Catherine’s finished 123 points ahead of Presbyterian Ladies’ College, NSW (85 points) and Wenona School, NSW (83 points).
Off the back of the Team’s success, there were many Individual and Divisional team successes. In Division 1, the Skier X team performed extremely well, finishing 3rd on the podium.

Congratulations to all the students involved in the St Catherine’s Interschools Team. Your determination and fierce competitiveness saw a great result on the mountain. A big thank you to Mr Tom Crebbin who led the team at the competition. Mr Crebbin’s enthusiasm and knowledge ensures our team is always at its best. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the Snowsports Auxiliary and parents who supported the Snowsports Program throughout the Championships. Without their support and care, our students would not be able to participate. Well done St Catherine’s!
