SACCSS Open Badminton

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to represent SFCC Melton at the SACCSS Open Badminton tournament held at Eagle Stadium. The atmosphere was energetic and full of excitement as we competed against students from other Catholic schools.

My doubles partner, Agnel and I played in the Boys Doubles B division and made it all the way to the semi-finals. It was a challenging game, which we unfortunately lost, but I’m really happy with how we performed. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with great matches, teamwork, and school spirit.

Being able to participate in a badminton tournament is always fun, and this time was very exciting.

After playing seven games, including a semi-final matchup against our own school, my partner Shreeya and I made it to the grand final. Although we lost, it was incredible to have all of our teammates and friends cheering and supporting us during the match.

I'm so proud of everyone for giving it their best shot and displaying amazing sportsmanship and teamwork.  A big thank you goes out to Ms Banu, Ms Holmes, and Ms Alp for their organisation of tryouts, training sessions, and their motivational coaching. Mariann, Year 10

Equestrian news

St Francis Catholic College was represented by Year 12 student Alice riding Bel Attrait at the Victorian Equestrian Interschools Series (VEIS) at Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre on Sunday 11 May. 

The pair participated in two show jumping competitions during the day. 

Alice and Bel were successful in a class of 44 horses to have a podium finish, placing sixth in the 95cm class. The team will head to Riddells Creek VEIS show jumping day this weekend and we wish them all the best.

SACCSS Cross Country Championships

St Francis Melton’s Intermediate boys have gone back-to-back, securing the Division 2 15-16 Year Cross Country Aggregate Trophy for the second year running.

Warm conditions made the hilly terrain much harder to overcome, but the dedicated athletes pushed through to bring home three pennants and claim an overall aggregate.

Congratulations to all our students who finished on the podium and to those who participated this year. We hope to see the team back in 2026!
