Home > Australia netball tour a huge success
Date Posted: Thursday 11 September 2025

A group of Senior School netball players enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Australia this summer.

A total of 47 students took part in the two-week netball tour, which included five competitive fixtures against local schools alongside visits to some of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, including Sydney Opera House and Bondi Beach. A highlight was snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef, where students came within touching distance of turtles, fish and beautiful corals. Some lucky students even spotted whales and dolphins breaching the surface on the yacht journey to the reef!

The trip was filled with adventure, culture, and sport, with students showcasing great teamwork and resilience, and making Aussie friends along the way.

Assistant Head Co-Curricular and Operations Chris Bhantoa, who led the trip, said: ‘Students behaved impeccably throughout, and represented the School with pride. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with laughter and adventure, and one which we will never forget.’

A large group of people sit and pose for a photo on the steps in front of the Sydney Opera House on a sunny day. Some people are smiling and waving, and the iconic sails of the Opera House are visible behind them. A group of smiling young people pose together outdoors by the water, with city skyscrapers and modern buildings in the background on a sunny day. A large group of young women pose together at night in front of a tree wrapped in fairy lights. Most are smiling, wearing casual or semi-casual outfits, and standing on a brick path. The background includes buildings and parked cars. Four girls play netball outdoors on a blue court. Two wear yellow kits and two wear blue; all are focused and in motion, appearing to defend or mark their opponents near the net. A chain-link fence lines the background. Three young women smile and pose closely together on a sunny outdoor boat ride, with other people and water blurred in the background. One woman wears large sunglasses, another a striped jacket, and the third a white top. Six people stand with their backs to the camera, looking at the Sydney Opera House across the water on a clear, sunny day, with city buildings in the background. Nine young women in yellow and blue netball kits pose in a tree pose on an outdoor court, smiling at the camera with their hands in a mudra gesture. A school and trees are visible in the background. Three people walk hand in hand on a wooden path through a forest, with more people visible ahead. They wear casual clothes and trainers, and the scene is bright with sunlight filtering through the trees. People ride a rollercoaster on a steep downward slope, gripping the safety bars with excited and scared expressions. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds in the background. Two young women stand and smile outdoors on a grassy field, one wearing a light yellow T-shirt and grey shorts, the other in a white T-shirt and blue shorts, with trees and a building in the background. A group of people on a grassy field practise throwing boomerangs, with a woman in the foreground mid-throw and a man standing nearby watching. Trees line the background. Three girls in yellow and blue sports kits stand together near a chain-link fence, with one holding a pink netball. Trees and two other people are visible in the background under bright sunlight.
