(3) House Athletics Carnival

The MLMC House Athletics Carnival is being held on Monday 4 April at Quarry Road Oval. Students should have signed up for athletic events via the Google Form link sent via email or on Classroom pages. All students are required to bring a hat and water bottle.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase food and drinks on the day, but it is suggested that students take some food with them.

Further details are in the poster below.

(4) Weightlifting

Is your child interested in learning Olympic weightlifting? Do they want to learn how it can assist strength and performance in their chosen sport? Or do they know nothing about it and want to learn how to lift? Students are welcome to come along to our demo day on Friday 1 April at lunchtime on the back courts (bus bays as wet weather alternative). They can see our expert weightlifting coaches demonstrate lifts, along with some of the teachers. It will be followed by a come and try session open to everyone. This is free and we welcome anyone who wants to watch, try or get involved!

(5) Athletics training

Track and field training is happening on Wednesday 30 March, from 7.00am to 8.00am, at Quarry Road Oval, with only one session before the House Athletics Carnival. Breakfast will be provided afterwards. Everyone welcome.
