Swimming
Well done to Sienna Santolin (Year 8 Aqua) who has had some excellent results in the pool recently. She competed at the long distance time trials last week and is now ranked sixth in the state in the 800m event and 15th in both the 200m and 400m events. We look forward to hearing about your continued success, Sienna!

(2) MLMC swimming training
Swimming training is held on Monday afternoons (3.30-4.30pm) and Wednesday mornings (7.00-8.00am) at Kilsyth Pool. Sessions are held to help students improve their swimming and fitness levels. All abilities are welcome. Commendations and House points are also up for grabs! It is free for students to take part and they will be bussed from school to the pool on Mondays and back to school from the pool on Wednesdays, with breakfast provided on Wednesdays. Students are asked to see/email Ms Webb in the Doyle Centre for more details.
(3) Senior boys’ hockey
If there are any Year 10-12 boys who are interested in playing in the Senior boys’ hockey team this season, they are asked to please contact Ms Webb.
(4) EISM reminders
With the summer seasons of Year 8, Year 9 and Senior EISM Sport already underway or beginning in the next week or so, students are asked to please remember the following:
- check the Sport plans — up on the Doyle Centre window and Google Classroom pages at the beginning of every week
- if you are unable to play in your team in a particular week, you need to let your coach know as early as possible
- please be on time to the Doyle Centre on your sport day — all EISM teams need to leave the College at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play
- uniform needs to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games — hockey, soccer and football players must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre to purchase for $10 each) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
(5) Term 1 dates
Parents and guardians are reminded that there are a few key College sports events being held next month:
- College Athletics Carnival — Monday 6 March
- EISM Division 2/3 Swimming Carnival — Monday 20 March
- EISM Champions Swimming Carnival — Monday 27 March.
(6) Year 7 swimming
This week, the Year 7 students have been earning their first House points at the mini Swimming Carnivals. As part of the Stepping Forward program, students were involved in traditional swimming races, participation relays and cheering for their teammates at Lilydale outdoor pool (pictured). While the two carnivals were held in vastly contrasting weather conditions, the amount of fun had by the students was the same. Well done to everyone who took part!
