Snowsports: Winter Olympians Visit

Last Wednesday, the College was privileged to host two of our Australian Winter Olympians; Alex Almoukov and Lucy Glanville, both of whom represented Australia at Sochi in the gruelling biathlon event. The boys were treated to a fantastic behind-the-scenes explanation of the competitive and arduous training required to compete at the highest level. Alex spoke to the group about how much time, effort and conditioning he had to put into both competing on the world circuit and eventually the Winter Games.  Lucy, (a former student at PLC Croydon) gave the boys a fun insight into life in the Winter Olympic village. We thank the athletes for their generosity of time and look forward to having them back in the future.

Snowsports: In2Ski Visit

Last Friday, 12 students from both the Stanmore and Wyvern campuses were fortunate to travel to the new In2Ski Centre at Alexandria after school. The boys had an opportunity to use the state-of-the-art indoor skiing facilities to fine tune some of their technique. It was clearly a good workout as we had several of the boys stepping off the unique conveyer-belt slope dripping with sweat! A big thank you to all the staff at In2Ski for their helpful advice as well as Mr James Norman for his assistance on the day.

Registrations are still open for this year’s Interschools Competition at Perisher (9 -12 July). Please contact Mr Justin Verco  for more information.
