Victorious volleyball
Churchie Volleyball secured 20 GPS premierships this season with 13 undefeated teams across all ages, including a back-to-back premiership for the First VI.
Volleyball at Churchie is one of our many thriving cocurricular programmes, with a strong and supportive community, engaged expert coaches (many of whom are Old Boys), depth across the age groups and a series of success stories that are the envy of any school sporting programme.
Volleyball’s outstanding performance throughout the 2024 season culminated in Churchie being the top overall programme with 272 GPS points and an exceptional win rate of 81.7% across all A teams, from 5A to the Open First VI.
Standout performances were the Year 9 cohort, maintaining an undefeated record, and inaugural premiership wins in Year 5 for teams 5A and 5B.
Director of Volleyball Carrie Mill said the successes were due to a blend of player talent, coaching expertise and a culture of competitiveness and continuous improvement.
‘The idea of defending the GPS title also created a positive and competitive environment within the team. Players continually pushed themselves to improve and maintain their high performance. This healthy competition within the team fostered growth and development, leading to even greater success this year.’.

Connections across the age groups were a key strength of the season, with a mentoring dynamic between the First VI and the junior teams that brought a lifted enthusiasm and expertise to training sessions.
Looking ahead to 2025, Churchie Volleyball is focused on maintaining its winning streak. The programme’s goals include working hard to defend the overall programme title as well as the First VI premiership for a third consecutive year.
