College Basketball Program

This year St Andrews had a very successful and eventful year with its Basketball Program. 

The First Grade Senior Basketball team competed across three different competitions this year. In the MCS Boys Basketball competition, our First Grade team came first in their seeding group and were runners up in their MCS divisions final. This was the first time our First Grade Senior Basketball team had reached the final.

The First Grade team also made the final of the PDSSSC Open boys gala day only losing to St Clare. 

The First Grade team went on to qualify for the NSWCCC Open Boys Basketball Championships that were held in June Term 2 of this year. It was a new challenge for the boys,  a challenge they accepted and did quite well. 

Our Intermediate Boys and Junior Boys basketball teams also have a very successful season. Both teams made the PDSSSC basketball finals in term 2.

The success and achievements of our college basketball teams is a testament to our College Basketball program which cannot happen without a wonderful and dedicated basketball coaching staff. A big thank you to Mrs Carlos, Mr Alatta, Miss Pett and Mr Fellows in coaching and guiding our basketball players. 

On top of the success of the First Grade Basketball Team, Elijah Barret’s persistence and hard work paid off by being offered a scholarship to play Basketball at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. This is an excellent achievement to Elijah who also helped his team in the Western Sydney Basketball Association and Basketball New South Wales Youth League Championships.
