With two teams claiming Grand Final victories and all three teams giving it their best, it was a memorable day of Softball and a wonderful result for our school.

Our Senior team had a fun and enjoyable day on the diamond, securing one win and finishing third in their division. Emerysn K was recognised as MVP of the Day for her efforts. The Seniors also showed what school spirit is all about, providing plenty of loud and enthusiastic cheering for our other school teams during their Grand Finals. Their incredible support helped create an amazing atmosphere and was instrumental in cheering our teams on to victory.

Two of our talented athletes, Gisele Q and Sienna Z, proudly represented CGSAV at the inaugural Victorian Schools Athletic Championships, competing against some of the best school athletes from sporting associations across Melbourne.
