2023 Snowsports Interschool Cross-Country Championship Report

The Victorian Cross-Country Interschool Snowsports Championship was held over the weekend of Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 August. There was beautiful sunshine for the event despite an unfortunate lack of snow.  

The determination displayed by all St Catherine’s students from both the Junior and Senior Schools was nothing short of inspiring, as they displayed their skills and spirit of sportswomanship.  

Our Junior School students were out to impress placing first in the Overall Primary Girls Championship.

Our Senior girls finished just seven points behind a very strong Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School, placing second overall.  

A huge congratulations to Isabella Wilkins (Year 6) who placed third overall. This is an incredible achievement.
