SHEPPARTON will host boys’ and girls’ football and badminton at the inaugural National All Schools Sports Challenges, a secondary school sport event held in partnership with the Greater Shepparton City Council and Schools in Action, later this year.
Schools in Action will bring together high-performing secondary school sports teams from all sectors of education – government, Catholic, and independent, to compete in two sports during September.
This program will provide opportunities for students in Years 9 to 10 to compete against schools they do not usually have the opportunity to challenge.
They will contest for the title of the best sporting school in their sport in Australia. Not only will it cater for highly talented students in school teams, but it will also offer a large number of their team mates the chance to participate in a national event.
Mayor Cr Shane Sali said, “Greater Shepparton is proud to be hosting this exciting national event and welcome the many school students and their supporters into our community. Being a weeklong event, we encourage the participants to explore our great lifestyle and enjoy our unique local offerings and attractions.”
“We are proud to continue investing in the development of high-quality sporting facilities, they allow us to secure significant events such as this one and to further improve the sporting talents of our community, stimulate our visitor economy and enhance our reputation as the leading sporting events destination in regional Australia.”
