Nathan C, one of our Year 13 basketball players, shared how his experience in the ACAMIS tournament is one that he will never forget. “Sadly, we narrowly lost in the championship game, but it was a close match that showcased our team's hard work, dedication, and journey throughout season 2. This tournament was particularly memorable for me as it was the first ACAMIS since the COVID-19 pandemic, and so was my first time participating. The atmosphere was electric, filled with a sense of support and a shared passion for the game. Despite the disappointment of not winning the title, the experience was invaluable. Playing alongside my teammates, feeling the support of our school across the college, and just being part of such a significant event after a long pause due to the pandemic was truly special.”

Clare Anderson-Au, our Head of Senior School, shared, “The campus has been filled with the sound of cheering and the beating of drums with the school hosting both the ISAC and ACAMIS Varsity competitions. The support from all members of the community has been great to see, and hear, and it is moments like this when we are reminded about just how special we are as a school community.”

Anthony Coles, our Head of College, also shared how these fantastic results have made our community proud. “Congratulations to our students, coaches, and our Director of Sport, Hannah Marshall, for doing well in these tournaments and demonstrating exemplary sportsmanship throughout the season.”

Hannah Marshall, Director of Sport, also added, “I am overjoyed with the exceptional performance our students displayed in the tournaments. Their dedication, skill, and sportsmanship were truly commendable. The vibrant atmosphere on campus, coupled with unwavering support from parents, has created a nurturing environment, and I am thrilled to witness how sports at DCB is growing from strength to strength.
