Snowsports
It was a season of contrasts, with both the College
Snowsports Camp and the Sydney Interschools held with
limited snow, and then, six weeks later, the NSW and
Australian Interschools experiencing some of the best
conditions in years.
Again this year, Alpenhorn Lodge in Thredbo was the home
away from home for 58 College students from Years 5 to 11.
The snow may have been limited, but undaunted, the boys
made the best of the conditions. New friendships were
formed across the year groups and the boys were an absolute
credit to the College.
Captain of Snowsports, Charlie Dimoff, didn’t just go all
the way to Nationals; he was tireless in providing support
and coaching for his team mates, and an inspiration to
the younger boys. 28 students represented the College in
Interschools this season with Tom van Dongen experiencing
the most success with a Bronze Medal in Division 1
Moguls at the Nationals after having won Gold at the NSW
Interschools. As a school, the College won Bronze at the
Sydney Interschools in the Secondary Boys Category, and
then finished 6th at the NSW Interschools.
