Basketball

We are thrilled to announce our intermediate Girls Basketball team has won the Grand Final in the Rip City Club Competition, capping off an incredible season of hard work, dedication, and team spirit.

After finishing the regular season at the top of the ladder, the girls showcased determination and composure throughout the finals, carrying their momentum into a hard-fought Grand Final. In a closely contested match, the Grammar team came away with an impressive 8-point victory to claim the championship title.

A special congratulations to Jada B, who was named Finals MVP for her outstanding performance on the court.

This win reflects the continued growth of Grammar’s basketball program, which has been strengthened through participation in club competitions like Rip City. These opportunities provide valuable game experience and development for our players, helping prepare our teams for the Sunshine Coast School competition and State Schools Championships. 

We are incredibly proud of our U16 Girls and look forward to seeing all our school teams achieve success on the court in the Sunshine Coast Schools competition in Terms 3 and 4.

Equestrian

We were very excited to hear that Amelia Bobyreff has also been named as part of the team to represent Queensland at the 2025 Australian Interschool Championships in Sydney in September. She will be competing in Eventing and joining Mia, Charlotte, Birdie and hopefully Jorja.

In another fabulous achievement, Birdie came sixth in the EVA65 among a large group of senior and junior riders and was awarded the highest scoring young rider in her class.

Congratulations to Amelia and Birdie on their wonderful achievements.

Oztag

Over the weekend, two enthusiastic Year 6 teams proudly represented Grammar at the All Schools Oztag Carnival. Despite some tough competition and the wet and rainy conditions, both teams showed incredible resilience and spirit, playing with determination and heart.

Throughout the carnival, the students demonstrated excellent teamwork and displayed outstanding sportsmanship, not only supporting their own teammates but also showing respect towards their opponents. It was a fun-filled day with lots of smiles, muddy jerseys and unforgettable moments.

A big thank you to Farrago, our generous sponsor, for purchasing the playing shirts for both teams – your support helped make the day even more special. We’re proud of our Year 6 players and the lasting memories they’ve created together.

Run Club

Olympian Juan Van Deventer leads the Grammar Run Club on Monday mornings on the training oval at the top of the school from 7:00 - 7:45 am.

It is fantastic to see so many new students and parents at the Grammar Run Club. These sessions are open to all staff, students P-12 and their parents. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with members of the Grammar community, get fit and have fun in a supportive environment. All abilities are welcome!

School Sport Australia

We had a number of students competing at the School Sport Australia competition across a range of different sports this week. We are incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown and look forward to celebrating their achievements!

Water Polo

Following the recent recruitment process, we are excited to confirm the appointment of Sophia Zamoyski in the role of Head Coach – Water Polo, commencing next week. The Head Coach – Water Polo role will coordinate the direction of Grammar Water Polo and work alongside Paul Cross to oversee the delivery of an engaging and high-quality program.

Sophia has a degree from Stanford University in Psychology and Human Rights and brings with her a wealth of experience as an athlete and leader, having won the NCAA Division 1 Championships with Stanford. A dedicated and passionate Water Polo Coach, Sophia has extensive experience coaching from grassroots to high performance, having recently led school, regional and state teams since arriving in Australia. Through these many roles, she has been instrumental in developing a strong culture, developing player confidence, and growing player numbers through her compassionate and player-centred approach. Sophia will also oversee a new alliance with Buderim Water Polo. Buderim will train twice per week in our amazing Aquatic Centre, sharing coaches and resources and providing extended learning opportunities for our players and coaches. A powerful leader of young athletes, Sophia will be an outstanding role model within our community, and we know she will make a wonderful addition to the Water Polo program at Grammar

Further good news for Water Polo at Grammar is that Paul Cross will continue administering and coaching across our programs. Collaboratively, Paul and Sophia will combine their knowledge and skill sets to increase participation, provide personal growth opportunities for our students, and see our program thrive.

It is important to recognise the impact Eddie Choy has made to Water Polo at Grammar over many years. Under his leadership, our Water Polo program has produced a high number of regional, state, and international representatives, whilst also increasing participation numbers. We look forward to Eddie working with Grammar Water Polo as a coach consultant, and we wish him every success in his new role as a Lawyer.
