STUDENTS from Medowie Christian College have been excelling in sport this term.

Nicoletta Vasilaras told News Of The Area, “Medowie Christian School is celebrating recent student achievements in the sporting arena.”

Year 8 student Callum Donaldson recently competed in the Australian Martial Arts Championships (AMAC) kickboxing circuit and won two gold medals and two silver medals across four events.

Joshua Lee of Year 9 competed in the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA) state gymnastics competition and the Independent Sporting Association (ISA) state All Schools Swimming Championships in diving.

Competing at Level 6, Josh came first on floor and bars and second on rings, vault and pommel.

Off the back of his gymnastics display, he finished first in both the 15 Years Springboard and the 15-16 Years Platform in diving.

Joshua has been selected to join the NSW team for School Sport Australia Nationals in Brisbane in November.

Also in Year 9, Nick Vichie competed in the MTB Fox Superflow gravity enduro with Rock Trail Entertainment at Awaba MTB Park and was accepted into the Hunter Academy of Sport in the mountain biking program.

Meanwhile Monica Moore of Year 10 competed in a special category for students with disabilities, winning gold at the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) cross country event and has secured a place on the NSW All Schools Cross Country team.

“These exceptional athletes in years 8-10 have proudly represented the school and themselves, bringing home accolades across gymnastics, diving, kickboxing, cross country, and enduro biking,” said Vasilaras.
