On Tuesday 28 May, five students represented St Catherine’s at the SSV Beachside Division Cross Country Championships at Bald Hill Park, Clarinda.  

This was an incredible achievement and experience for the following girls who made it to this level:

The sun was shining as each of the girls gave their all, resulting in some fabulous outcomes. Congratulations to Ingrid Tan, who has progressed to the SSV Southern Metropolitan Regional Championships after finishing sixth in the 9/10-Year-Old Race. 

Results from Division Cross Country:

GSV Years 5&6 Cross Country Carnival

Meanwhile, on Thursday 30 May, some of our talented Years 5 and 6 students competed at the GSV Years 5&6 Cross Country Carnival at Cruden Farm, Langwarrin.  

Despite windy conditions, it was an incredible day of racing for all girls in Years 5 and 6. There were lots of ribbons returning to School.  

We couldn’t be prouder of all the girls for their tremendous effort over the 3km course. Their hard work and dedication truly shone through this week. Well done to everyone involved! 

Celebrating Individual Achievements Outside of School

We are thrilled to celebrate Alexandra (Alexi) Kusumah’s outstanding performance at the Australian Gymnastics Championship representing Team Vic.  

Competing against the top gymnasts from each state, Alexi helped Team Vic secure a silver medal nationally and placed 10th in the Individual All-Around. This is an incredible achievement as the only 11-year-old in the Top 10. Individually Alexi also placed sixth on beam, 10th on floor, 13th on bar, and 20th on vault. Congratulations, Alexi! 

We also want to highlight Ingrid Tan’s remarkable performance in ice skating. Ingrid represented Australia at the ISU Oceania International Figure Skating Competition this week. Ingrid had a fabulous experience at her very first international competition, finishing fifth out of 19 competitors and being one of the youngest skaters in her division. Well done, Ingrid! 

It is truly inspiring to see so many girls pursuing sports and trying different activities to discover their talents. Whether participating in School events or competing at the national level, it’s wonderful to see everyone getting active and excelling in their chosen fields.
