Bellarine Division Athletics Championships - Friday 2nd May 2025

The NGSC Athletics team had almost perfect conditions for this event. A big thankyou to so many students who volunteered to fill in for gaps in our program, this certainly added to our points and helped us achieve an overall result of 2^nd and the Most Improved School Award for 2025.

These days don’t happen without NGSC staff supporting the students and officiating at the events, so much appreciation to Mrs. Perin, Ms. Elkin and Miss Peric. Also, a big thank you to the students who assisted at the Shot Put, Triple Jump and Discus throughout the day.

Special mention to two of our Athletes who competed in five individual events and won them all! Great job Sienna Bilinski and Angus Warren.

Western Metropolitan Region Sport - Intermediate Girls Volleyball

On Wednesday, 7th May, the Intermediate Girls represented North Geelong Secondary College (and the Barwon/Bellarine Divisions) in the Western Metropolitan Region finals at the Corio Leisuretime Centre. The girls combined well as a team and, with support from coach Rob Straube, finished on top of their section. It took a comeback from behind and a steadying of nerves to win their final pool match to send the team to the grand final against Melton Secondary College. The match was conducted in a great spirit of competition and fun, with Melton coming out winners on the day. 

Congratulations to all team members, who not only played some great volleyball, but demonstrated our values of Respect and Achievement throughout the whole tournament. Well done to Nori, Bronte, Blanzhe, Alexia (Captain), Yawshoe, Gianna, Tina and Thu Meh. Thanks also to Rob for his guidance and support through the EIS program. 

Western Metropolitan Region Sport - Senior Girls Volleyball

Monday, 12th May was the turn of the Senior girls to represent NGSC as the Barwon/Bellarine Division winners in the Western Metropolitan Region finals. Once again, the girls played well as a team but were not quite as strong as the other teams, losing their first game, but bouncing back to win the second game on points. They had to win their last game to make the final, but unfortunately lost to Melton Secondary College, who went on to win the grand final. 

Congratulations to all team members - Indah, King, Jasmine, Maria, Rida, Gaynay, Savannah, EhBway, Faiza and MJ - and also to Rob Straube, for, once again, turning up to coach the team.

Football

Year 7/8 Boys

It was a stunning day at Winter's Reserve in Belmont, perfect for footy, as our Year 7/8 boys took to the field in the Interschool Tournament. The team started strongly, winning both their group stage matches against Bellarine Secondary College and Bannockburn Secondary College, Learning a well-deserved top spot in their pool. 

In the semi-final, the boys faced a tough Surf Coast Secondary College outfit. Despite going down by a few goals, the team stayed competitive and never dropped their heads.

There were plenty of standout performances throughout the day. Jake Balaz led strongly as Captain, Jaydan Corbett was tireless around the ground, Angus Warren booted a few fantastic goals, Ashton Muller was strong in the ruck and Oliver Bucovaz stood tall in defence. A special mention goes to Jack Taylor, whose passionate pre-game speeches had the boys fired up and ready to go!

Well done to all involved on a great day of school footy!
