From the 6 member team we had last year, where we fought tooth and nail in the C-Boys Group Weapons event scoring 7.88 to clinch 2nd place. 1st place went to Chung Cheng High with 7.90- a difference of a mere .02 points! Indeed a tough fight for placing!



This year, you can see that the team has grown and we know that we face ever increasing challenges as all the teams get stronger. From having 6 regular members, we now number close to 20 totalling all in both C-Div and B-Div. Here we see the boys hard at work on the same routine for Group Weapons.



We have grown in strength- both in numbers and ability and have taken root now in VS.
Today, we begin our battle boys:
We fight not for mere medals, for fight not for personal glory but we fight for a chance to make history in this beloved school of ours.

I urge all Victorians, to support our Wushu Team in this crucial time- lend them your support and help them to be something more
