Sports news and reminders

(1) EISM golf

Congratulations to Tom Handasyde (Year 8 Orange) who competed in the state final for junior secondary school golfers at Long Island Golf Club last Monday. He was competing in a very strong field with some of the best junior players in the state. Tom managed to get a top 20 finish, which was a fantastic achievement considering the field he was up against. Well done to Tom for his performance and we look forward to seeing his progression and representing the College for years to come.

(2) Worawa Reconciliation Sports Carnival

On Tuesday 31 May, a group of Year 8 and 9 girls took part in the the Worawa Reconciliation Sports Carnival, where schools from all over Melbourne came together during National Reconciliation Week to participate in a variety of sports, including netball and volleyball, in some friendly competition. It's a highlight on the sports calendar and a great day to connect with and celebrate our local Aboriginal College. Congratulations to all involved.

(3) EISM tennis tournament

Congratulations to Natasha Harrison (Year 10 Silver), Katie Harrison (Year 8 Bronze), Tomas Majdancic (Year 11 Red) and Coby Smith (Year 11 Purple) (pictured above) who represented MLMC at the inaugural EISM tennis tournament on Wednesday 8 June. They were lucky enough to get their games played in between rain showers. All athletes played extremely well and we saw an all-MLMC girls’ final with older sister Natasha taking out the title. Coby also finished runner-up in an extremely high quality boys’ final. It was an excellent result for MLMC — we are very proud of you all.
