Great MLMC Dog Walk
Wednesday 26 August was International Dog Day, and what better way to celebrate than by taking part in the ‘Great MLMC Dog Walk’. This event was an idea of Miss Rachel Berka and it was an outstanding success, with many staff and students treating their dogs to a special walk and photoshoot. The task was simple: go for a walk with your best friend and snap a picture of you doing this. We loved seeing all the happy dogs and their owners soaking up the sun on a lovely winter's afternoon.
TD 42.2
The first two weeks of the four-week TD 42.2 challenge, an event named after former teacher and House patron Terry Dunn, have been amazing. We have had a total of 72 participants complete nearly 1500km of walking and running and there’s plenty of time to get more people involved. This is a great opportunity for students to earn points for their House and also earn commendations.
We have already had three students and two staff members reach 42.2km — a great achievement, which we hope to see more people reach. We have clear winners in both the staff and student categories. Mr Dan Beard is leading the staff with a total of 125.52km and Joshua Handasyde (Year 8 Purple) is leading the students on 113.36km, ahead of Kelly Whitchell (Year 11 Red) on 63.17km.
We are super proud of everyone who has stood up and taken the challenge head-on. There are still two weeks left, so a total of 14 hours of exercise that students and staff can use to contribute to this challenge if they use their allowed one hour a day wisely. To make the challenge more fun, students are encouraged to get friends and family involved too. Don’t stop once you have reached the 42.2km mark either — make yourself another challenge and aim for 50 or even 100km.
For the week of 7-13 September, parents’ kilometres can be added too – students just need to add their kilometres to the Google form (if the parent has a different surname to the student, students please put your surname in brackets so we know who to give the points to and add “parent” in the year level spot).
