Well done to Emily for again making the CIS team. HVGS Sonics
The HVGS Sonics play in the Net Set Go competition and took to the court with gusto at this year’s Gala Day, finishing undefeated.
An excellent result following a highly competitive season. Well done Sonics!
Bill Turner Cup and Hunter Region Independent Schools (HRIS)
The HVGS 15 years girls football team enjoyed a wonderful season and remained undefeated whilst contesting the HRIS Championships and the state-wide Knockout Bill Turner Trophy.
A win in the HRIS Championship (without a goal being scored) is quite an achievement and to make the top 16 of the Bill Turner Trophy demonstrates the quality of the team.
