Primary Athletics Carnival

Our Primary Athletics Carnival on 19 August was filled with sunshine, cheering and plenty of exciting events on the track and field. Students gave it their all in races, relays and especially the much-loved tug of war! A huge congratulations to Parkes for winning overall, and well done to all our students for their amazing effort and team spirit throughout the day!

Secondary Athletics Carnival

"Secondary Athletics was a day filled with energy, perseverance, teamwork, and spirit. Despite the wind and rain, our athletes hit the track with determination and rose to the challenges of the field with resilience. The day kicked off with a vibrant 80s-themed dance warm-up, led by Parkes Captain Alyssa and Deakin Captain Thenul, setting the tone of unity and fun that carried through the entire day.

"The track was alive not only with athletes, but with waves of red, green, and yellow as our houses proudly showed their spirit. From inflatable sprints to multicoloured tutu jumps, STACC brought an explosion of energy, colour, and fun to the day. The wind and rain picked up during the day, but as the weather rose, so too did our athletes. From the explosive 100m sprints to the enduring 1500m team jogs, the powerful jumps, and the determined shot put and discus, students pushed through, encouraging one another and lifting everyone up.

"Competition throughout the day built to a nail-biting finish in the final relays. With the wind clearing, Deakin stormed home in the last VCE relay to secure the win and the Athletics Trophy. And as the cherry on top, the Staff vs. Students Mixed Relay came down to a photo finish—with the students (Thenul, Ethan, Stephanie, and Ruby) snatching a millisecond victory over the teachers.

"What a great way to finish off the major sports events of the year. See you guys at presentation night."

CSEN Herald Sun Shield

The Herald Sun Shield is a big AFL competition that takes winning teams from different associations and plays them against one another—all matches are streamed through the Herald Sun website, and it is a huge honour to participate in this competition.

Bonnie Carline & Sidra Dharmadasa played in a representative CSEN team that won their semi-final against Luther College! Sidra played a key Ruck position throughout the competition day, and played in the grand final representing CSEN. Although they unfortunately lost against Ballarat Grammar, some awesome moments were still created by the CSEN team!

Marc Hole, Silas Vincent and Ethan Gregor (Year 12s at St Andrews) were all selected for and played in a representative CSEN team. The level of competition is so high that CSEN have never even won a game at this event before! The boys helped lead the CSEN team to its first ever boy's win—and came close in all other matches throughout the day (losing by only 1 point in two of our matches. Marc played a key ruck position, Silas played throughout the midfield, and Ethan was able to kick countless goals through his work in the forward line. Well done boys!
