As part of National Reconciliation Week, each year Mount Lilydale Mercy College students participate in the annual Sports Carnival held at Worawa Aboriginal College in Healesville.
This year we had teams competing in both the netball and volleyball round robins and also merged with Worawa to play in the football tournament. The combined Worawa/MLMC football team took out the win on the day and Brylee Anderson was awarded with the Sportsmanship Award.
Representatives from Hawthorn’s AFLW program were also there on the day, including our own Bridget Deed (Class of 2020), who had represented MLMC at the same carnival in 2018-2019.
Well done and thank you to all staff and students who took part in this special day.
