NSW All Schools Diving Championships

On Thursday 1st June and Friday 2nd June, five students from St Andrews College represented NSW Combined Catholic Colleges at the NSW All Schools Diving Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. This competition brings together divers from all three school associations and is essentially the State Titles for school sport.

Our divers have been practising diligently for 4 months, attending Thursday sport sessions as well as Friday night and Saturday morning training. They continually improve their basics and expand on their dive lists to bring quality dives during competition. The five divers who represented the College really dived above their level of training and experience and we are proud of their achievements.

Results:

17 year girls springboard - Jade Kember (yr 12) 6th place

13 year girls springboard - Rachael Griffiths (yr 7) 8th place

13 year girls springboard - Claire De Vos (yr 7) 9th place

12 year girls springboard - Analise Gregoriou (yr 7) 4th place

12 year boys springboard - Eesa Mir (yr 7) 1st place

As you can see from our exceptional results, Eesa Mir of year 7 won his age group, improving his score from the NSW CCC Competition by 20 points. Analise Gregoriou was also very close to third place and with a little more training, I’m sure she can be on the podium in coming years.

I would like to congratulate all our divers on a successful school diving season and look forward to them competing in the Diving NSW season which starts in July. If any other students are interested in joining diving, please contact Mrs Weaver aweaver@parra.catholic.edu.au
