SEISA Senior Girls Soccer Champions!
What a game! Going in as the underdogs against a previously unbeaten St Paul's Traralgon side, our Senior Girls showed incredible determination, composure and belief.
The match was locked at 1–1 for the majority of the game, before a brilliant attacking passage, orchestrated by Bass student Evie Titmarsh, broke through to put the girls ahead. The final score: 4-1.
With the win, our Senior Girls have now claimed three consecutive SEISA Soccer Championships: back-to-back-to-back! A huge congratulations to the team on an outstanding achievement. Bring on 2027 where they will go for a 4-peat.

Newhaven MTB Academy Finishes XC Season on a High
Newhaven College MTB Academy has wrapped up another fantastic AusCycling Schools Mountain Bike Series, finishing the season with Rounds 6 and 7 at Castlemaine and Bendigo and securing three overall series podiums.
Round 6 at Castlemaine brought perfect sunshine and a big step up in technical riding, particularly for those moving from U11 to U13. Rock gardens, drops and technical trail features tested riders, while the urban sections — including several stair sets — added plenty of fun.
Austin Mitchell finished 2nd, Sophia Hardy 2nd, Grayson Huther 8th and Felix Boyce 6th, with everyone enjoying a great day of racing regardless of finishing position.
The team then headed to Bendigo for the final round, where another sunny day and a fun, fast track made for a great finish to the season. Felix finished 3rd, with Sophia and Austin both taking 2nd place.
The results capped off an excellent XC season for Newhaven College, with the riders’ hard work and consistency reflected in the overall series standings.
Austin Mitchell finished 1st overall in U13, Sophia Hardy 2nd overall in U15 and Felix Boyce 3rd overall in U9.
The season has also been an enormous commitment from Newhaven families, with parents travelling far and wide across Victoria to give their children the opportunity to race, often giving up entire weekends and clocking up plenty of kilometres along the way.
From technical trails and muddy race days to sunshine and podium finishes, it has been another memorable season for the MTB Academy.
Congratulations to all our riders and families on a fantastic 2026 XC season!

Newhaven MTB Academy Fires Up the BBQ!
Parents, students and volunteers from the Newhaven College MTB Academy fired up the barbecue on Sunday 13 September for our very first Bunnings Sausage Sizzle - and what a fantastic day it was!
Thanks to an incredible team effort and the support of our local community, the day was a huge success, raising an amazing $1,866.40 for the MTB Academy!
Our volunteers had a brilliant day behind the barbecue, cooking sausages, serving customers and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. A huge thank you to every parent, student and volunteer who gave up their Sunday to help make the fundraiser such a success.
We were also incredibly fortunate to receive generous support from local businesses, which helped make every dollar raised go even further.
A very big thank you to Hilltop Meats for supplying our sausages and even chopping the onions, BWS Cowes for supplying the ice, Bakers Delight for their generous bread donation, BIG W Wonthaggi for donating soft drinks and bottled water, and My Supply for providing napkins and cleaning products.
Community support like this makes such a difference to our MTB Academy and helps us continue creating opportunities and experiences for our young riders.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, supported us or simply stopped by for a sausage!
