Football

The 2025 GPS Football season has come to end with some amazing performances across the program.

A special mention to our 1^st XI Football team who secured 2 wins out of their last 2 games of the season. The final win of the season coming in Spirit Round in front of an amazing home crowd at Fursden Road.

I would also like to shout out the amazing group of graduating Year 12s. The improvement in culture within the program has been amazing and the graduating Seniors are a large part of it.

Water Polo

The 2025 State High Water Polo season has been exciting and successful. Over four action-packed weeks, our four teams—Junior A, Junior B, Seconds, and Firsts—have shown tremendous dedication, resilience, and pride. In a remarkable achievement, every team made it to the finals, with the Firsts sealing a dominant championship victory.

Our Junior teams deserve special recognition. For some boys, this was their first experience with Water Polo, and their growth over the season was outstanding. From early morning trainings in the cold to intense weekend matches, their commitment never wavered. The Junior boys put the Seniors to shame with their consistent 6:50am training arrivals, filling the grandstand with energy and focus. Their journey wasn’t without challenges—there were tough losses and narrow wins—but they showed grit, perseverance, and respect every step of the way. Their sportsmanship, coachability, and steady improvement have set a high bar for seasons to come.

The Senior teams also delivered an inspiring performance. The Seconds had a strong run, highlighted by big wins over Churchie. Several players showed outstanding growth and impact throughout the season, with sharp shooting, strong defensive plays, and the ability to step up in high-pressure moments. The team’s collective improvement and resilience were key in building momentum and securing their place in the finals.

The Firsts faced their share of setbacks—injuries, illness, and conflicting commitments—but when it counted most, the full team came together. During the season, several players from the Seconds stepped up to fill in when needed, showing great adaptability and teamwork that helped secure the Firsts a spot in the finals—thank you for your invaluable contribution. In a thrilling final against BBC, they delivered a masterclass performance, finishing with a commanding 16–5 victory. This marks the second consecutive year that State High has claimed the GPS Water Polo title—a testament to the players' determination and unity.

Special thanks go to everyone who contributed to the culture and camaraderie this season. From tournament highs to unforgettable early mornings, the memories made will last a lifetime.

Congratulations to all award winners this year for your dedication and impact on your teams. Major award recipients were Reeve Witherington and Max Blacker (Commitment to Water Polo); Nate Brown (The Cole Miller Most Promising Award) and Ryan Allen (The Outstanding Performance Award). Let’s carry this momentum forward and continue building a legacy of excellence in State High water polo.
