NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Championships 2025

NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Championships 2025

On Thursday 3rd April, 21 students from St Andrews College represented the Parramatta diocese in the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Championships. This is the largest team we have ever fielded and our College won more medals than any other Catholic school in NSW.

For some of our divers in Year 7, this was their first ever competition. They were nervous but had put in the hard work to be able to compete to the best of their ability. For our experienced divers, this was their time to shine, and shine they did. We also had two student officials, Claire De Vos and Rachael Griffiths who judged on the day and who will also judge at the next level of the school sport pathway. Below is the list of divers and their results. As you can see, we had the age champions in five events and clean sweeps of the medals in two events.

Open Platform - 3rd place Rachael Griffiths, 6th place Claire De Vos

15 yrs girls Springboard - 1st Rachael Griffiths, 2nd Clair de Vos

14 yrs girls Springboard - 1st Analise Gregoriou, 4th place Amber Bissett, 5th place Ohriana Baumgartner

The students who placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their age group will represent the College at the NSW All Schools Diving Championships in May where they will compete for a spot in the NSW team to School Sport Australia.

Congratulations to all our divers on the way in which they represented the College. We are very proud of them. Thank you to Mrs. Borg for taking on the Convenor role this year and supporting our students through to the All Schools Championships.

Best of luck to all who are diving at All Schools in May!
