Diving Update
The St Andrews College Diving Team has made a great start to 2025. I would first like to welcome all new team members who have been brave and worked hard to ensure they have enough dives to compete at the upcoming NSW Combined Catholic Colleges competition in April. It has been a steep learning curve, but they have risen to the occasion.
Our experienced divers competed in the State Championships last weekend at SOPAC, where they came home with 3 medals and another national qualifier. Congratulations to Rachael Griffiths on her 3rd place in the 14/15 yrs girls 1m event and to Despina Thimiopoulos-Wilson for placing 3rd in the 13/U Synchronised event as well as qualifying for nationals in the 12/13 yrs girls 1m event. One of our Pathways primary school divers, Luke also came 3rd in his event 11/U boys 1m.
The College is very proud of our newest Diving Australia qualified judges, Claire De Vos and Rachael Griffiths. The two students have judged at the Interclub level and completed their shadow judging at the State Championships, where they both scored over 85% in their practical assessment.
I look forward to providing another diving update after the NSW CCC competition in April.
