Champions SNOWSPORTS
St Catherine’s School has had an incredible return to the mountains after two years off the snow. Over the season our Snowsports Team achieved:
Victorian Interschools Championships
Champions – Primary Girls School Champions – Secondary Girls School Champions – Primary Girls Cross Country Third Place – Secondary Girls Cross Country
Australian Interschools Championships
Champions – Primary Female Champions – Primary Female Cross Country Runners Up – Secondary Female Runners Up – Secondary Female Cross Country
Commencing the 2022 season was House Snowsports which was an exciting weekend full of actionpacked Moguls, Alpine and Cross Country. Congratulations to Langley Templeton for winning the 2022 St Catherine’s House Snowsports.
The Snowsports Team then competed in the Victorian Cross Country Interschools at Mt Buller. There were some incredible performances across each division and event which saw St Catherine’s Junior School win the Overall Championship with a whopping 46 points and our Senior School finished a close third place.
The 48-strong Team then competed at the Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships across Alpine, Moguls, Ski Cross, Snowboard GS, Snowboard Cross, and Ski Slopestyle disciplines. All students participated and performed with resilience and integrity across the week, at times competing in some challenging wet and windy conditions.
During the Snowsports Interschools, St Catherine’s had an incredible 15 podiums for team performances and 11 individual podiums. Congratulations to each member of the Team. Every member contributed to the success of both our Junior and Senior Schools, becoming State Champions in Victoria! Our Senior School has held onto the overall Secondary School Championship since 2014. This is an extremely impressive return to the slopes, after two years away due to COVID.
Following our extremely impressive Victorian Interschools campaign, our Team of 24 students across all disciplines and ages made their way to Perisher, NSW for the Australian Interschools Championships. With what might be one of our smallest Snowsports teams in a while, all girls competing did not disappoint. Congratulations to our Junior School who are now officially the Australian Primary Female Overall Champions and to our Senior School, who despite not having any Year 11s or 12s competing, were able to finish runners up for the overall Championship, behind Sydney school, Wenona.
Thank you to all members of the St Catherine’s Snowsports community, those long drives, early mornings, and cold races were all worth it! We are so proud of our fantastic community and are looking forward to Snowsports Season 2023.
