We are proud of our students past and present and we’d like to highlight the success of some of our Alumni students in the sporting arena.
Focusing on women in football, or soccer for those who often get the name mixed up with other dominant codes in Australia, two of our Alumni have gone on to forge successful careers in football playing for our local A-League/W-League teams or playing for Australia!
