Magenta Hornsey - 2009 Victorian State Show Jumping U14 Champion

The annual State Young Rider Show Jumping Championships, run by EFA Victoria, bring together some of the best Juniors in the country. There are three levels. They are U14, U18 and U21. The 2009 titles, held at the National Equestrian Centre on April 24, saw a South Australian win the U18 and a New South Welshman win the U21. The U14 was the only title to stay in Victoria with Toorak College’s Magenta Hornsey piloting Llewellyn Hotshot, the sole rider to go double clear in the final to win a $200 cash prize, an inscribed rug for Llewellyn Hotshot and the 2009 Victorian State Show Jumping U14 Champion Sash for herself. Yet another feather in the Toorak College Equestrian Team cap.

Year 11 Amnesty Meeting report

Year 11 Amnesty Club met on April 2 to learn about and act on the topic of ‘Violence Against Women’. They learnt that in their lifetime, 57% of Australian women will experience violence of some kind. Stories were read out and shared, all of which revealed how violence and aggression against women impacts their lives and those of their children. Students then lobbied Wayne Swan, Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Lindsay Tanner and Jenny Macklin via email, to campaign for a National Plan of Action to stop Violence Against Women.
