Jasmine Qualifies for National Championships

We are absolutely thrilled to share the exciting news that Jasmine C (9A) has been selected to represent Victoria in the Interschool Equestrian Show Jumping Team at the National Championships this September.

This honour is the result of Jasmine’s dedication, perseverance and countless hours of training over many months. Alongside her horse, Ferrari Park Autumn Gold, Jasmine has demonstrated exceptional skill, sportsmanship and determination throughout the Interschool Equestrian Series, consistently delivering outstanding performances.

Being chosen to ride at the Nationals is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to the strong partnership she has developed with her horse Autumn, as well as her commitment to excellence in equestrian sport. Jasmine and Autumn will now travel to Sydney to compete against the very best riders from across the country, proudly representing both Bacchus Marsh Grammar and the state of Victoria.

We congratulate Jasmine on this remarkable accomplishment and wish her every success on the national stage.

Bria Wins Best Sunflower in the State!

Congratulations to the Bria Allen in Year 8, for her winning entry into the National Sunflower competition, organised by the University of Queensland.

Bria’s sunflower won the best in the state, although it was unable to match the efforts of the Queensland schools that had the most favourable conditions for growing. Bria has demonstrated, along with the other students at the Landcare Produce Group, that given the right conditions, growing produce is accessible to all and a great deal of fun.

With the developing “growing” knowledge of the Junior Landcare students, we hope to introduce more sunflowers to the Maddingley campus gardens, into and beyond Term 4.

Junior Landcare

Congratulations to the Maddingley Junior Landcare members who have been awarded an Edible Garden Grant from the Victorian Schools Garden Program (VSGP).  The VSGP Committee had nearly 1000 entries this year, with our School being one of the lucky recipients. The grant of $500 will go towards supporting the work of the students in the raised garden beds at Maddingley. This grant will be used in conjunction with the support of the local Rotary to prepare the students’ entries for the Bacchus Marsh Flower and Garden Show in October. In addition, the School will be entering the Landcare students’ Pop Up farm stall project in the ‘Best Use of a Grant’ Award.
