As Sports Captains we have been so proud of all the girls’ efforts and commitment to what has been the most successful year of sport at St Catherine’s to date. All girls who have stepped foot on the field, pitch, court, or water have tried their best and constantly amazed us with their talent, competitiveness, and will to support each other!

We have seen outstanding sporting results including (but not limited to) Junior Softball A, Junior Softball B, and Senior Hockey A Teams winning their respective GSV Premierships. We also topped the GSV Swimming Finals Night Medal Tally, something we have never achieved before! The 2022/23 Rowing season was also one of the most populated squads in all of St Cath’s Rowing history throughout the Junior, Intermediate and Senior squads. The 1st VIII podiumed at Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta and the U19 and Schoolgirl events at Nationals. The 2nd VIII also reached the podium at Head of the Schoolgirls.

We had several St Catherine’s girls selected on GSV Representative Teams including Angelina Chumbley (Year 11) for Tennis. Angelina was one of eight girls selected across the 24 GSV schools and participated in the GSV premier match at the National Tennis Centre. Zoe Hall (Year 12) and Camille Brownjohn (Year 9) were both selected in the GSV Representative Netball Team of 20 players across the 24 schools, also competing in the Netball Premier Match. This is an incredible achievement, and all three girls should be incredibly proud of qualifying for, and participating in, their respective events.

2023 has been an incredibly exciting time amongst the sporting community, as the St Catherine’s Sports Centre was officially opened, boasting a variety of new indoor court options, a state-of-the-art Strength and Conditioning Studio, and Gymnastics space. The newly refurbished facility allows our girls to stay active throughout the day. It has also allowed our athletes to continue to excel in their various sports.

We are grateful for everyone’s participation in the St Catherine’s Sport Program, and we wish everyone the best of luck in future years!
