🏐U19 Volleyball Friendlies Vs ISK

A fun day for the U19’s Braeburn volleyball squads making history forming a team for the very first time. With many of the team only being introduced to volleyball with a weeks training, they did well to represent the school playing in high spirits and improving as the games went on. A special mention to Janelle for the girls team as well as Benjamin and Hany for the boys. Despite losing to ISK there was great team cohesion, efforts from all of the players and positivity all around. Small steps in the right direction.

🏀 U15 Girls Basketball Vs SCIS League

League Opener: Girls Secure Commanding 14-2 Win Over SCIS

The U15 girls’ basketball season started with a bang this week as they secured a dominant 14-2 victory over SCIS in their first league game.

This was a particularly impressive result given the squad's profile; a young team primarily made up of Year 9 students, many were competing and playing the sport at this level for the very first time. Their composure and teamwork throughout the game showed a maturity as they managed to control the tempo from start to finish.

The energy and effort on display were top-tier, and this performance sets a fantastic tone for the rest of the season. It is an incredibly promising start for this group, and there is plenty of excitement to see how they continue to develop throughout the term.

MVP: Aida Siang
