House Sport

TERm 1

Our Swimming Carnival took a while to get up and going after being postponed, but it ran as smoothly as ever. It was a slightly overcast day out at Oakleigh, but a bit of early rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of our boys. All four Houses swam fantastically, with the results being extremely close right up until the final race. The final scores on the day were as follows: 1. Annecy – 595 2. Moroney – 590 3. Savio – 569 4. Collinson – 567

Unfortunately, the House Athletics Carnival could not be held. We were tremendously unlucky with the weather and it became too difficult of a task to reschedule after it was postponed twice within the first semester.

TERm 2

The term began with our Years 7-10 students being provided the chance to play ACC Sport. This is something that these students hadn’t had the opportunity to do since 2019. The boys who did not play ACC were included in the House Sport program, which allows the boys to experience a variety of different sports, some of which they have never played before. The sports rotate over a two-week cycle, ensuring that the students are continually being challenged each week. The variety of sports included Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, European Handball, Futsal, Cricket, T-Ball, Spikeball, Table Tennis, Badminton and many more. This format worked well, and gave the students an opportunity to play in some sports that they might not have considered playing outside of school.

TERm 3

Much like Term 1, we began the term with a big event. The Cross Country Carnival was initially postponed due to a snap lockdown, but thankfully we were able to complete it in Week 3. The course was mapped out at the Mannix Campus, which includes the boys running on gravel, grass, uphill & downhill. The participation levels were fantastic with a number of boys giving it their best go. Annecy were dominant from start to finish, winning a majority of the Year levels thanks to tremendous depth from the Year 12 boys through to the Year 7 boys. The final results were: 1. Annecy – 557 2. Collinson – 415 3. Savio – 409 4. Moroney – 393 There was not a lot of opportunity for the boys to complete House Athletics in Term 4 due to some abnormally poor weather and the lockdown. After having 4 different carnivals postponed, we’re hoping that 2022 has a much more positive outlook for House Sport. Thank you to all staff and students who participated in House Sport this year and put in effort in to help run a successful program!
