Sports Awards and news

(1) Sports Awards

A huge thank you to all parents, students and staff who attended the MLMC Sports Awards night at the College on Wednesday 18 October. It was a fantastic night recognising our students within the MLMC Sports program.

Thank you to our special guests of honour, Principal Mr Philip Morrison and Mr Sean Bell.

Sean, a motivational speaker and ultra marathon runner, added a touch of greatness to the evening, inspiring students to pursue their athletic dreams with passion and dedication. Sean plans to run 14,000km around Australia next year to raise $1.4 million for the Make A Wish Foundation.

The event provided a platform to acknowledge and reward the incredible athletes, coaches, and supporters who had contributed to the success of MLMC's Sports program, with a number of awards presented, including Best and Fairest, Coaches’ Awards and Year Level Champions in athletics, cross country running and swimming.

The nominees and winners alike were met with roaring applause, reflecting the sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship that defines MLMC's sporting community.

Our EISM sports program has consistently demonstrated excellence in fostering young talent and nurturing the spirit of sportsmanship. The coaches and teachers who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to build this exemplary program were given due recognition. The program's success can be attributed to the school's commitment to holistic athlete development. It provides opportunities for students of all skill levels to participate in a wide range of sports, emphasising not only competition but also personal growth, teamwork, and physical fitness.

MLMC's sports program stands as a testament to the positive impact that school sporting competition can have on students' lives.

(2) 3X3 MLMC basketball tournament

A reminder to all families that Mrs Frazer has organised a 3x3 basketball tournament to be held on Mondays and Fridays at lunchtime and that students taking part are not required to wear their PE uniform. If your child hasn’t done so already, there is time to get a team together and submit it to Mrs Frazer. Good luck!
