In an exhilarating and nail-biting finale at the FUSE eSports Festival, held on the Gold Coast, a team from St Joseph’s School, Mernda, claimed the 2024 national championship in the Rocket League tournament for students in Years 5 and 6.

The FUSE eSports Festival, one of Australia’s largest and most anticipated eSports events, brought together participants from all over the country, with teams competing in a variety of popular games including Just Dance, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.

Representing St Joseph’s School were two Year 6 students, Kristoffer Malaga and George George. They formed a bond not only through their shared passion for gaming, but also through their exceptional teamwork and communication on and off the screen.

Kristoffer described the event as ‘one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I got to play one of my favourite games and compete on stage, and it was really fun seeing games played at such a high level’.

The final Rocket League match was a true showcase of skill and strategy, with both teams scoring incredible goals, executing aerial manoeuvres and defending with precision.

‘I felt really nervous competing at a national level, but felt really happy to get such a great prize for all my hard work’, said George.

For the young champions, their success wasn’t just about the game; it was about the journey, the lessons learned and the skills developed.

Behind their achievement were countless hours of practice, learning to work as a unit and maintaining focus even under pressure.

The boys described their coach, Media Arts teacher, Claire Forbes, as ‘always considerate and caring, which helped me to do well’ and ‘someone who taught us many things about the game. Claire’s coaching was pretty effective!’

The support of the school and families played a crucial role, too. Parents and teachers alike rallied behind the team, providing encouragement and celebrating every milestone along the way.

The was held on 15 and 16 November.
