Forest Park later in the year . In the APS Junior Cross Country event held on the Tan Track in August , Henry Curlewis won the Year 7 event and Joshua Baker came second in the Year 8 event .
Our 1st XVIII Football team had a season of near misses . Despite only winning three games , the team was extremely competitive . We lost four games within three goals and frustratingly gave up late leads in several of these games . The squad started the season with some good form , and after convincing wins against Geelong Grammar School and a win in the Cordner-Eggleston Cup against Melbourne Grammar by 91 points , there was certainly some excitement around the season ’ s prospects .
Sadly , we couldn ’ t step up when it counted most , and despite our best efforts we conceded some games from commanding positions . Excitingly , we had seven boys from Year 10 play in the Firsts , which bodes well for future years . Year 12 boys Jagga Smith ( Captain of Football ), Oliver Badr and Cooper Lord were among our better players .
The Fencing Program keeps growing , with 115 boys participating this season . Scotch excelled in both the junior and senior secondary competitions winning the best performed school across both programs . David Zhang ( Year 11 ) was our strongest senior fencer , winning the individual senior secondary event .
