Australian Champion Teams
Our list of Australian Champion teams sits at a remarkable 48.
Cross Country Skiing dominates the list, as we were often the top school at both National Events each year (the Australian Interschools and the A.S.S.T Championships) over a 30 year period from the mid 1980s to 2016. Rob Findlay was Head Coach for much of this era, and at least 7 students won individual Australian Titles.
We have 37 Cross Country Skiing titles on record, and 1 Snowboard team. There are likely many more Titles than listed here..we are aiming to uncover all of it
Aerobics was another Sport with National Title events, with Jenny Chivers running a program for at least 8 years. which produced 7 Australian Champion teams between 1997 and 2001.
The only other Sport on the list is Volleyball, with Ric Chivers spearheading journeys to Canberra for the National Championships for over a decade. We can find 3 Australian Gold Medal winning teams on record. The most recent is the 2000 Under 17 Girls, led by Rebecca Gilbert who represented Australia that year.
