Six students represented NGSC at the Western Metropolitan Region Cross Country event, held at Keilor Park Recreation Reserve on June 19th. Despite the cold weather, all students ran to the best of their ability, with Henry Lugg qualifying for the State finals in the 15 Boys section. This will be held at Yarra Valley racecourse on July 24th. Congratulations to Charlie Watson, Angus Warren, Lincoln Peel and Sienna Bilinksi for participating in the WMR finals. A special shoutout to Thomas Airey (Year 12), who attended school for the first two sessions of English, then had a parent drive him to the competition! He has competed in all of the GSSSA cross country events and has made it to the WMR finals in his six year of attendance at NGSC - a truly great effort!

Last week (June 26th), the Year 7 Girls Badminton team, representing the Barwon and Bellarine Divisions, travelled to Altona to compete in the Western Metropolitan Region finals. Despite their enthusiasm, they were outclassed by the opposition teams, especially when having to play singles! Coach Trent Morton praised the girls for their effort and sportsmanship, continually trying their best and supporting each other. Well done girls!

We look forward to Senior and Intermediate sport in the first two weeks of Term 3, closely followed by Year 7 and Year 8 sport in weeks 3, 4 and 5.

Well done to all competitors and keep on moving!
