Primary Sport

Our Primary students have enjoyed an exciting and active term of sport. Students in Years 3–6 have had the privilege of participating in a Touch Football program during their PE classes, developing new skills and enjoying the opportunity to learn the game.

Our House Cross Country was a fantastic day, and despite the weather swirling around us, students were enthusiastically getting involved and giving their best effort. We have so many determined and fast runners rising up the ranks in the school. On Thursday 11th June, students who qualified for the next stage of Cross Country also competed against other Christian schools at the CSEN Cross Country Championships, where they represented the school with great effort and perseverance. A special congratulations goes to Jack Fletcher, who achieved an outstanding first-place finish in the 10 and Under Boys event, leading the Under 10 boys to come 2^nd overall in the A Division. Our Under 9 girls team also finished 2^nd in the A division. Well done to all our amazing runners in all our age group teams.

Our Year 5 and 6 students have been training hard all semester to represent the school at the SSV Winter Sport Days 1 and 2, displaying excellent sportsmanship and determination throughout the competition. Outstanding results included the Soccer Mixed A team being crowned premiers, while Netball Mixed A, Teeball Girls, and Volleystars Boys all finished as runners-up. Congratulations to the Soccer, Netball, and Teeball teams, who have progressed to the Knox Division Finals.

Well done to all students for their enthusiasm, commitment, and excellent representation of the school throughout the term.

Primary Swimming Program

What a splash! This term we also had our curriculum driven two-week intensive swimming program for Prep–Year 6 and it was a massive success. From day one, students dived into water-safety skills, and stroke techniques with enthusiasm and determination. Pool instructors raved that we are “one of their favourite schools to teach every year”. Our students showed remarkable growth, grit, and confidence across the program, with many passing new levels in their swimming. A huge thanks goes to our parents for the extra washing, support, encouragement and patience of our physically tired students. Also a shout out to our teachers for balancing classroom lessons with the swimming timetable. Most of all—congratulations to our St Andrews swimmers for their spirit, perseverance, and joyful participation!

Secondary Sport

It has been a busy and successful term of sport, with students representing the school across a variety of events.

Students from Years 7–12 participated in the CSEN Basketball Academy, where they developed their basketball skills, teamwork, and leadership while connecting with students from across the CSEN network. At the CSEN Soccer Championships, our senior boys' team performed strongly, finishing first in their pool and placing fourth overall, while the junior boys' team finished second in their pool.

Our Year 11 and 12 students also enjoyed the VCE Rally Day, taking part in a range of sports and enjoying a well-earned break from their studies. There were outstanding individual achievements throughout, with our Division 1 Girls Badminton team winning first place, Pia Sharma placing 2nd in the Individual girls' golf competition, and Isaac and Uday taking out first place in the boys' team golf event.

House Cross Country was a fantastic day despite the wet and windy conditions, with great participation from students across all year levels, with Barton being the overall winning house! Well done to our house captains for all of their work towards making this such a fun and competitive day! 

Following this the CSEN Cross Country Championships also saw excellent results, with Ryan N (year 7) and Zach G (year 10) placing first in their age groups, Derek Q (year 11) and Ben L (year 9) placing 3rd. St Andrews ended up coming an overall 4^th out of 20 schools which is a fantastic effort!

Semester sport is coming to an end with Grand final wins to the 9/10 Girl's Soccer and Basketball teams and our Boy's Volleyball B team, as well as a 2nd place finish for our 9/10 boys Volleyball team.

Congratulations to all students who represented the school with enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and determination throughout the term.

House Cross Country Carnival

Despite the cold, rain, and even hail, our students gave their all at Cross Country on 7 May! Whether they ran the whole way or walked alongside friends, it was a day full of determination, cheering, laughter, and House spirit. Well done to all students for showing such resilience and encouragement in less-than-ideal weather conditions—what a great display of perseverance and grit!

Student vs Teachers Soccer

Throughout semester one, we had the chance to run “Students vs Teachers”, a long standing tradition at St Andrews, where a group of predominantly Year 12 students play against the teachers in a sports game. However, this year, we switched it up to allow Years 9 to 12 to play in house teams against the teachers! It was loads of fun and a lot of the school community came to support both side.
