McKinnon Secondary College
Congratulations to McKinnon Secondary for taking out the Champion School title for 2025 in the Beach Schools Cup from Tuesday 4 to Friday 7 March.
With a beautiful sunny day and great conditions on Tuesday, the Year 7 boys and girls were delighted to receive a silver medal. The Year 8 boys won gold, the Year 8 girls came 3rd. With some challenging heat and gusty winds during Wednesday, two of our Year 9 boys pairs came equal third and Year 9 girls pairs also third. Thursday was a quieter day, but the wind picked up in the afternoon which made it very challenging to play! Well done to the Year 10 boys for securing a gold medal and a third to the Year 10 boys pairs. Year 10 girls (4s) and pairs won silver medals.
On Friday we finished off strong with a gold medal from the Year 12 girls (4s) and the Year 11 boys (4s) who finished 3rd. Thanks to our amazing Years 9, 10 and 11 coaches who helped out with our Year 7s on Tuesday. Thanks to all the staff who took time out of their busy schedules to get up early to watch some beach volleyball and soak up some sunshine. It was a very successful tournament, and we have had lots of positive feedback about all the fun the athletes had.
