MLMC | Mount Lilydale Mercy College

(1) EISM Champions Athletics

Congratulations to the 61 athletes who qualified to represent Mount Lilydale Mercy College at the EISM Champions Carnival at Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park yesterday (Thursday 25 May).

(2) EISM Golf

On Friday 12 May six students represented the College at the Independent Schools’ Golf Tournament at Churchill Park Golf Club. Hamish Clark (Year 8 Red), Harper Sinclair (Year 8 Orange), Tom Handasyde (Year 9 Red), Cooper Smith (Year 10 Red), Campbell Cumming (Year 10 Green) and Josh Handasyde (Year 11 Jade) all represented the College in great spirits, playing with grace and sportsmanship. Special mention to Tom Handasyde, who finished in second place in the junior boys’ category, which earned him a spot in the state final. Tom competed at the State Final on Monday 22 May at Long Island Golf Club and had a very admirable top-15 finish in a very strong field. He should be proud of his performance, as should all of the students who represented the College at the first event. We look forward to more great performances from our students in years to come.

The College also has a nine-hole hit after school every Tuesday afternoon (excluding Term 3), with all abilities welcomed for a friendly and relaxing hit. Any students interested in joining in should get in contact with me or Mr Dunstan.

(3) Student Achievements

Tennis
Congratulations to sisters Katie Harrison (Year 9 Gold) and Natasha Harrison (Year 11 Red) (pictured above) who represented Victoria in the national schools 18 and under titles in Canberra last week. They finished fourth, after narrowly being beaten by Queensland in the semi-final.

Parkrun
It was great to see some of our MLMC students (pictured below) volunteering last weekend at Lillydale Lake Parkrun in the Kids’ Takeover Week. Thanks to Sports Prefect Alice McCormick (Year 12 Jade) as well as Katherine Hobson (Year 10 Gold) and Rukiya Sunderland (Year 9 Gold) who all performed roles at this weekly community event.

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