Annie Seymour, Sport Co-Captain 2024

As Sports Co-Captains for 2024, we are thrilled to share this year’s highlights and achievements. It has been truly amazing to see our girls develop their overall sporting performance.  

In Term 1, we had our highest GSV sport participation on record, with over 150 students in Tennis and over 60 in Softball. Five teams qualified for finals, with our Intermediate A Softball and Junior F Tennis Teams winning their Premierships. Our Diving Team excelled in the Division 3 GSV Championships, finishing first in the Senior and Junior Divisions, and overall. Eighteen swimmers qualified for the GSV Finals Night, and we won two gold and three silver medals, finishing eighth on the medal tally. Additionally, 21 students competed in the GSV Triathlon, with one of our Year 8 teams placing third out of 72 junior teams.  

During the April school holidays, 25 students from Years 7 to 11 attended the inaugural Athletics Camp on the Gold Coast. They stayed at the Gold Coast Performance Centre, participating in running and gym sessions, and team-building activities. This new addition to the School Sport Program has been highly beneficial. 

In Term 2, we had another great term of Hockey, Netball, Water Polo, AFL, and Cross Country. Our Cross Country Team placed fourth in the GSV Preliminary Cross Country Carnival, securing a spot in the Division 2 GSV Championships. Many girls achieved personal bests, with some placing in the top 10 of their age groups. The annual Huntingtower Heyington AFL match against Lauriston was a highlight of the season. 

On the Athletics track during Term 3, over 60 athletes competed in the Division 3 Championship Carnival, finishing in third place. Fifteen students qualified to compete at the GSV Finals Night, putting them in the top 10 placegetters across the Division 1, 2 and 3 Carnivals. In the GSV Weekly Sport Competition, over 100 competitors played across our 12 Badminton Teams. Our five GSV Soccer Teams also had strong seasons, particularly our Junior A and B Teams, both of which progressed to the GSV Finals.  

To round out the year, the Celebration of Sport Evening was a great chance to acknowledge our amazing athletes across the Year levels.
