Passion and determination in Middle School sports

Meanwhile, in Middle School, the Year 7, 8 and 9 Summer Sports season was also filled with passion, hard work, and determination.

One of the most notable events of the season was the exceptional performance of the Scotch College Swimming team, as they clinched the coveted Dr K.G. Tregonning Cup, ending a drought of 38 years. Notably, the Middle School students played a vital role in the team’s triumph, with the U13 and U14 squads finishing second and first, respectively. The team's success was the result of months of dedicated training and teamwork, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishment.

Our Year 7 students were also involved in the PSA Sports programme for the first time this season, with weekly fixtures against other schools. Seeing our young athletes showcase their talent and passion for sports was exciting, and we are thrilled to have them join the PSA community. Congratulations to the Year 7A Tennis team, who were undefeated this season. The future looks bright for Scotch Tennis.

Our students demonstrated sportsmanship, respect for their opponents and coaches, and a willingness to learn and improve throughout the season. Their dedication and commitment to their respective sports were evident in their performances and progress throughout the season.

Beyond the successes on the field, court, and pool, the Summer Sports season provided an opportunity for our students to develop essential life skills, such as teamwork, communication, leadership, and resilience. These skills will undoubtedly serve them well in all aspects of their lives, now and in the future.

Thank you to our coaches, teachers, and parents for their support throughout the season. Their commitment and encouragement were essential to the success of our teams.

We look forward to continuing this momentum into the Winter and Athletics seasons and cannot wait to see what our students accomplish next.
