At Ivanhoe Girls’, Sport is more than competition - it’s about participation, effort, and discovering a lifelong passion.
The 2024 sporting year has been a vibrant celebration of these values, with students across Junior and Senior School embracing opportunities to engage, excel, and grow through sport. Our Sport program champions the belief that success is as much about participation as it is about achievement. This year, students have given their best efforts, celebrated their passions, and worked together to create an inclusive and supportive sporting community.
In the Senior School, we have once again witnessed incredible levels of participation, determination and teamwork. We offer a wide variety of sporting activities to assist our students in finding their passion. Whether participating in Softball, Aerobics, Cross Country Skiing or Fencing just to name a few, our students showcased their commitment to personal and collective growth.
Senior School sporting achievements this year included:
The Junior School also shone brightly in 2024, with students fully embracing the joy of participation. This year saw us debut in the Years 5and 6 GSV Athletics competition, we participated in our second Years 5 and 6 GSV Swimming Carnival, and 37 out of 50 Year 5 students participated in Volleystars for After School Sport. Following the School Sports Victoria (SSV)pathways, our Years 5 and 6 Soccer Team made the State Championships, and Indi O’Brien (Year 6)represented Victoria in the 1500m at the National Athletics School Championships.
As we reflect on 2024, we celebrate not just the trophies and accolades but the effort, inclusion, and passion that define sport at Ivanhoe Girls’. Here’s to another remarkable year of participation and achievement in 2025!
