ICCES Cross Country
The ICCES Cross Country Competition was held on Tuesday, 5 August at Bundoora. After overnight showers, competitors were greeted with a sun-filled day and a course that, while challenging, remained firm underfoot and not overly muddy.
BMG students delivered strong performances across the day with some wonderful individual achievements:
- Kayla S (Yr 8) – 9th, Junior Girls
- Nilavan M (Yr 10) – 4th, Intermediate Boys
- Sam W (Yr 12) – 10th, Senior Boys
In the Overall Aggregate, BMG secured a 5th place finish.
A sincere thank you is extended to the staff who attended and generously gave their time to support our students throughout the event.
Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships
The Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships first carved their tracks into history back in 1958 at Mt Buller, when just two schools, Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College lined up to compete.
From those humble beginnings, the event has snowballed into one of Victoria’s premier school sporting competitions. Today, more than 220 schools take part each year, with close to 6,500 entries across nine disciplines, all against the breathtaking backdrop of Mt Buller.
This year, Bacchus Marsh Grammar is proudly represented once again, with Tayla and Kaylee W hitting the slopes. We wish them the very best as they take on the mountain and showcase their skills at Mt Buller this week.
Victorian Schools Mountain Bike Orienteering Competition– Expression of Interest
The Victorian Schools Mountain Bike Orienteering Competition is fast approaching in mid-September, and we’re eager to see BMG students get involved!
This exciting event challenges students in Years 9–12 to navigate mountain bike trails using a map to locate checkpoints as quickly as possible. It’s the perfect mix of endurance, problem-solving and navigation skills—all while enjoying the thrill of riding outdoors.
Essential requirements: Students must have access to a mountain bike and helmet.

Western Metropolitan Regional Hockey Finals
On Thursday, 14 August, we proudly took 11 students to compete in the Western Metro Regional Hockey Finals at the Footscray Hockey Club. The girls faced strong opposition throughout the day, going down in two of their three matches. However, they finished the tournament on a high, producing a convincing 2–0 victory against Brookside College.
The team should be commended for their effort, teamwork and determination across all matches, showing great resilience to finish with a well-earned win.
A special thank you goes to Mr Trent Oldaker for his commitment and support in preparing the girls leading up to the event and for his guidance and encouragement on the day.
