The AIC Volleyball competition remains one of the strongest schoolboy Volleyball competitions in the country – both in quality of performance and in quantity of participation. Each week of the 2023 AIC season, over 130 teams competed in premiership competitions. A number of schools offered further participation through internal competitions.

In 2023, the AIC announced its inaugural intake of past students into the AIC Sporting Hall of Fame. Both Andrew Grant (Marist College Ashgrove) and Grant Sorenson (St Edmund’s College) were inducted for into the “Hall of Fame” for their achievements in the sport of Volleyball. These achievements included Australian Olympic team representation for both.

Aggregate Competition
The consistency of Iona Volleyball teams led to Iona being crowned AIC Volleyball Aggregate Champions. 10 out of the 12 Iona ‘Aggregate’ teams finished the season in the top 3 schools in their respective divisions, with four of these teams winning premierships. In a very close competition for 2nd place, St Laurence’s (2nd), Villanova (3rd) and Padua (4th) were only separated by 1 point on the final aggregate points table.

Queensland Schools Cup Competitions
Throughout the year, AIC schools were represented at the various Volleyball Queensland Schools Cup Competitions. With a strong presence at each of these competitions throughout the year, AIC schools showed their strong commitment to developing the Volleyball talent outside of just the Term 1 Volleyball Season.
