Sports news and reminders

(1) Student Achievements

Karate
Congratulations to Stephen Cameron (Year 12 Silver) and Casey Cameron (Year 10 Purple) who have both qualified to represent Australia in May at the 22nd Oceania Championships in Sydney. Having siblings represent the country at the same event is a very rare occurrence and we wish you both the best for the championships.

Triathlon
Congratulations to Rukiya Sunderland (Year 9 Gold) who represented MLMC in the 2XU triathlon series over summer (six races in total and very early Sunday mornings). The final race was held at St Kilda last weekend. Well done, Ru!

If you have any other student achievements, please email them to at dwebb@mlmc.vic.edu.au

(2) EISM Swimming Carnival

Congratulations to all students who represented MLMC at the recent Division 2/3 EISM Swimming Carnival at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. MLMC took home the girls’ aggregate trophy and had many students place and qualify for the Champions Carnival the following week. 

We had 31 swimmers who qualified for the Champions Carnival, held on Monday 27 March. To even qualify for this carnival is an excellent achievement, as the standard of competition is extremely high. In particular, congratulations to Sienna Santolin (Year 8 Aqua) (pictured in the gallery below) who finished with a silver medal in the Under 14 50m breaststroke and a bronze medal in the 50m backstroke.

(3) MLMC athletics training

Track and field training is being held on Wednesdays (7.00-8.00am) at Morrison Reserve in Mount Evelyn for students to qualify for the upcoming EISM Athletics Carnival. It’s free to join in. Students will be bussed back to school, with breakfast then provided. Students should see or email me in the Doyle Centre for details.

(4) Equestrian team

Congratulations to the MLMC equestrian team who competed last weekend at the Tintern Interschool Horse Trials. The MLMC team comprised Imogen Bergin (Year 11 Purple), Sophie Dillon (Year 10 Bronze), Caitlin Vaughan (Year 9 Green), Sofie Wijsman (Year 8 Silver) and Ruby Rose (Year 8 Bronze) finished fifth out of 24 teams. Congratulations, girls!

(5) EISM reminders

Congratulations to our Senior EISM teams who competed in Grand Finals on Wednesday 29 March, including our Senior ultimate frisbee teams (pictured above). Results from all EISM competition is included below.

Heading into Term 2 of Year 8, 9 and Senior EISM sport, the following points are important to remember:

• students should check the sport plans which are on the Doyle Centre window and Google Classroom pages at the beginning of every week

• if a student is unable to play in their team in a particular week, they need to let their coach know as early as possible

• students should be on time to the Doyle Centre on their sport day. All EISM teams need to leave at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play

• uniforms need 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) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
