DPS Red finished on top of Pool A thanks to wins over Singleton Public (20-0), Kirkton Public (17-0), Singleton Heights Black (16-2) and St James' Muswellbrook (16-2).
But, what was the school's secret formula to success?
"Hard work and determination," replied teacher and coach Amanda Ballard.
"The girl that stood out was Remi Brown."
"She's often a defender but she had a great day in attack today."
"Blake Scott also had great persistence and determination in trying to get the ball."
DPS Black also finished equal first in open mixed - Pool B with a 3-1 winning record.
However, the crown would go to King Street Primary School on a countback.
Meanwhile, Singleton's St Catherine's Catholic College took out three major titles only to be matched on the final tally by the tournament's dark-horse St Brigid's, Raymond Terrace.
