Forty Tenison Woods College netballers recently made the journey to Melbourne to compete at the Waverley International School Netball Championships.


The netballers played various schools from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and the Pacific Islands.


The college took four teams, a Senior A and B and Junior A and B team comprising an incredible pool of talent with many of the netballers representing their respective clubs at senior level.


The college was extremely successful with its Junior A netball team crowned the 2024 Waverley International School Netball Champions, defeating Rowville Secondary College 28-24 in a very close and exciting grand final.


The talented team coached by teacher and local netballer Kaitlin Egan comprised of netballers Bell Coghlan, Raine Darimaani, Emily Denton, Kalani Dunn, Lucy Egan, Asha Gysbers, Mischa Human, Bailee Lewis, Ruby Milich and Emily Skeer.


The Senior A team was successful throughout its campaign, placing third overall after defeating Mercedes College 35-18.


Unfortunately, the side went down in the semi-final by five to Rowville, who ended up the overall winners.


The Senior B team was defeated by Waiuku Gold and Singapore, placing 16th overall and gaining incredible experience playing against a diverse array of teams.


The Junior B team finished strong in seventh place overall, defeating Woodcroft by a nail-biting three goals in their final match.


All four teams were led by college staff and experienced coaches Donna Denton, Narelle Ryan, Kaitlin Egan and Angela Queale, with manageresses Jorja Mitchell and Siobhan Adams who were proud of the commitment made by all 40 netballers on what was an incredible experience for the girls.
