HISTORY was made recently as the Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College Senior Girls Netball team claimed victory at the SSV State Titles, marking a milestone achievement for the school. The championship win capped off a dominant season, with the team competing in and conquering three separate competitions throughout the year. They began their campaign with a strong performance in the local competition, securing an easy win and progressing confidently to the regional level. There, they remained undefeated, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force on the court.

At the state finals, the girls faced a setback in their opening game against Rowville Sports Academy. However, showing resilience and determination, they bounced back, powering through the remaining matches. In a dramatic grand final rematch, they turned the tables on Rowville, defeating them
