EISM Champions Carnival

The EISM Champions Carnival for track and field was attended by over 50 MLMC students on Monday 10 May. This twilight event showcases some of the top athletic talent from across the EISM, so it was a huge honour to have so many students there competing. The following students had an amazing performance and finished on the podium:

• Bronze: Megan Schelfout, Andrew Mammolotti, Jack O’Connell, U13 boys’ relay (Andrew Mammoliti, Archie Spencer, Sete Tevi, Oliver Knight)
• Silver: Brylee Anderson, Sasha Maggs, Daniel Ryan, Brigette Rice, Amy Wicks
• Gold: Amy Wicks, Luke Phillips (x2), Cheyenne Moore (x2), Andrew Mammoliti, Ben Heath.

Year 9 EISM Grand Finals

On Thursday 2 May, we had five of our Year 9 teams compete against various schools for the summer season EISM premiership. Unfortunately both of our tennis teams fell to strong opposition in Aquinas and Tintern, but the boys’ team definitely made Aquinas work for the win. Our girls’ basketball B and touch football (pictured below) teams were outplayed, but the scoreboard was not reflective of the tight contest on the field. Finally, our boys’ basketball A team (pictured above) won an absolute nail-biter against rivals Luther, getting the win by just two points. Having finished fourth, beating the top team Aquinas last week in the semi final and then going on to win the premiership (with the help of Ryan Nunziate scoring 34 points) was a super achievement for all the boys. Well done to all the EISM teams on a wonderful season.

Staff and Student Achievements

Lucien Primavera (Year 9 Blue)
Congratulations to Lucien Primavera (pictured in the gallery below) who competed in the Victorian School Shooting Championships at the Melbourne Gun Club on Monday 19 April. Lucien shot 7/10 in the first round, which is a huge effort. Well done, Lucien.

Campbell Cumming (Year 8 Red)
On Friday 28 May Campbell Cumming will be participating in the SSV Junior Boys Golf State Finals. Campbell has done an awesome job to qualify for this competition and we wish him the best of luck.

Sam Green (Year 12 Green)
This weekend Sam Green will be umpiring his 200th Eastern Football Netball League game. This is a huge achievement, especially for someone so young. Sam is a fantastic umpire (word from players and spectators themselves) and we cannot wait to see where he goes in the future with this.

EISM reminders

With the Winter seasons of Year 8, Year 9 and Senior EISM Sport all about to begin, we ask students to please remember the following:

• Check the Sport plans — up on the Doyle Centre window at the beginning of every week and on the College’s Instagram story
• 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 at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play
• Their 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) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
