Student Achievements
Congratulations to Flynn Kroeger and Lachlan Riddiford (Year 9) who have both recently participated in the Hawthorn Football Club/Eastern Ranges Next Generation Academy Squad and also the Under 15 Yarra Ranges Interleague Program. Both boys (pictured in the gallery) performed well at these events and gained a wealth of knowledge. We wish them well with their future football endeavours.

Congratulations to Lily Kelly (Year 12) (pictured) who recently debuted for the Box Hill Hawks in the VFL women’s competition. Box Hill defeated Footscray 96 to 53. Well done, Lily.

Well done to Georgia Kinslow and Lily Hall (Year 7), who represented MLMC and competed at the Elmore Interschools equestrian competition on the holidays in some very cold conditions. The girls (pictured in the gallery) finished in 10th and 17th respectively and had a great time competing. Congratulations girls.

EISM Futsal Tournament
The College participated in the EISM indoor soccer tournament for the first time on Tuesday 26 June, taking a boys’ team and a girls’ team. The girls’ team (pictured in the gallery), which consisted of three Year 11 students (Eliza McDonald, Amelia Cimo and Mikayla Byrne) and four Year 9 students (Piper Crymble, Olivia Petinnella, Krishia Catungal and Natasha Vukic) started off on a fantastic note, defeating Nunawading 3-0 with goals to Piper, Tash and Eliza. Oakleigh College were a tough challenge for MLMC up next, defeating us, however the game was exciting and very physical. Emmaus was next, again unfortunately we conceded goals to them and lost an excellent game from both teams.

The semi-finals then rolled around, with MLMC fourth on the ladder taking on top team Oakleigh again. It was a tough, aggressive game with both teams getting in a few goals. Sadly, at the last whistle Oakleigh had a few more goals than us. It was an amazing day and I’m so glad I was able to be part of it. Next year MLMC hopes to return better than ever, bringing back the three Year 11s of this year and the amazing Year 9s who stepped up, and hopefully some new players as well.

Cross Country training
It’s that time of year again. With only one more sporting carnival left for the year, it would be great if we could get as many students as possible participating in Cross Country training. Cross Country training days and times are as follows: Monday 3.30-4.30pm and Wednesday 7.00-8.00am (breakfast provided afterwards). Meet at the Doyle Centre for both sessions. All abilities and fitness levels welcome. For details, please contact Miss Webb.

EISM Weekly Sport Reminders
With the EISM winter seasons of Year 8, 9 and Senior EISM sport all now either underway or about to begin, please remember the following:

• Check the Sport plans (up on the Doyle Centre window at the beginning of every week). 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 to get to venues to play.
• Your uniform needs to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games. Hockey, soccer and football must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre for $10) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME
• Please be aware that there may be late returns from EISM away games, check the sport plan on the Doyle Centre window to make sure you know when they will be!
