Another season of the SunSmart Schools Tennis Classic wrapped up last week with 64 schools\u00a0across\u00a0metro and regional events competing in the 2024 Schools Tennis Classic.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event saw an increase in total participants across metro and regional events from 55 schools in 2023, to 64 in 2024. Overall, there were 167 secondary school teams and 79 primary school teams that competed in the Schools Tennis Classic.<\/p>\n

The annual event run by Tennis West and School Sport WA with the support from Healthway promoting the SunSmart message was founded in 1935. The event is for primary and secondary schools across metro and regional areas that compete in local play-off teams-based events with the regional competitions held across the Great Southern, Upper Great Southern, Central Districts, Eastern Districts and Southwest zones.<\/p>\n

Again, this year, Tennis West naming rights partner in Heathway set up SunSmart activations at all\u00a0metro venues to provide an educational resource for students around the importance of being Sun Smart. The activation included SunSmart merchandise, sunscreen, wide brim hats, sunglasses, and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

Tennis West\u2019s Schools and Pathways Coordinator Radu Vaidean said he was impressed with this year\u2019s edition of the tournament and highlighted the increased numbers in participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SunSmart Schools Tennis Classic in 2024 has been huge success across both metro and regional WA, showcasing great talent with a positive increase of total players, teams and schools compared to previous years\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to foster the pathway for students to compete and represent their schools at local clubs through this historic event, and we hope it continues to highlight the importance of the classroom to clubhouse model. On behalf of Tennis West, we would also like to say a special thank you to Andrea Rundle, Davina Biglin and Royce Puccinelli for their assistance in delivering this year\u2019s events.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year saw the introduction of the prestigious Slazenger Cup Premier Event, witnessing Applecross Senior High School and School of Distance Isolated Education clinch the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 titles, respectively. The event also saw eight country primary schools come together in Perth to contest for the Country Academy Plate final with York District High School emerging as the winners.<\/p>\n
