The event travelled through communities across the state, bringing students together from Perth, the Wheatbelt, the Great Southern and the South West, and providing memorable experiences both on and off the court.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1428\">The Schools Classic continues to be much more than a competition. It is an opportunity for students to connect with their peers, build confidence, represent their school community and experience the excitement of team tennis in a fun and inclusive environment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1656\">Across every division, the standard of play, sportsmanship and enthusiasm on display highlighted the strength of school tennis pathways throughout WA and the passion that schools continue to bring to the event year after year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1927\">For many students, the competition was a chance to create lasting memories with teammates and teachers, while for others it was an opportunity to test themselves against strong opposition and experience the thrill of finals tennis on some of the state\u2019s premier courts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"2071\">As the final matches were completed, Tennis West Schools and Pathways Officer, Radu Vaidean reflected on another hugely successful campaign:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2425\"><em data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2425\">&#8220;This year\u2019s Schools Classic has been a fantastic celebration of tennis across Western Australia.
