CSEN Basketball Championships

The St Andrews Senior Boys Basketball team competed in the Victorian Christian Schools Basketball Championships at MSAC with 11 other Christian schools. It was an awesome day of competition – filled with big wins and some tight losses finishing 5th overall. The boys did an amazing job representing St Andrews with a unwavering competitive spirt! Well done! 


Term 2 CSEN Senior Rally Day Success

The St Andrews Senior AFL 9’s, Volleyball and Tennis teams all competed in the Term 2 CSEN Rally Day. These Rally Days are an awesome opportunity for students to build upon the community within our cohorts, but also to build friendships and rapport with those from other Christian schools – all while developing further in our sporting abilities and skills!

Our Volleyball and Tennis teams were challenged by the strong competition on the day and enjoyed some wins, but despite some losses too they remained fierce in their competitiveness and excelled in their sportsmanship all day long. 

Our AFL 9’s teams dominated all day – the Senior Girls team securing the Championship flag and the Senior Boys finishing as runners up in a close Grand Final! All competing students should be proud of their efforts and attitudes on the day - well done!

House Cross Country

The College's House Cross Country Carnival was a phenomenal day blessed with perfectly clear sunny skies and community spirit at the beautiful lakeside setting! Students from Years 3 to 12 showcased their athletic abilities and enthusiasm, embracing the spirit of friendly competition.

The event was a resounding success, marked by vibrant energy, colourful attire, and, most importantly, a display of outstanding sportsmanship and effort from all participants. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed to making this day memorable, from our dedicated House Captains who cheered tirelessly to the numerous parent volunteers whose support made the event run smoothly.

Amidst cheers and encouragement, our students sprinted, jogged, and ran their hearts out, competing to earn points for their respective houses. After a series of exciting races, House Barton emerged as the overall victors of the day. Congratulations to all members of Barton House for their exceptional performance and teamwork!

This event was not just about athletic endeavours but also about building upon our Christian community spirit and fostering a sense of belonging among our students. It was heartening to witness the unity and joy shared by all participants, regardless of the house they represented. Together, we celebrated an incredible day filled with fun, healthy competition, and cherished memories.

We are immensely grateful to our staff whose dedication and hard work behind the scenes ensured a smoothly organised event. Your commitment to our students’ well-being and enjoyment did not go unnoticed.

Once again, a big congratulations to all participants for their determination and sportsmanship!
