- Check the sport plans which are 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 sports day (nb: 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 that we do not forfeit any games - hockey, soccer and football must wear long navy socks (nb: available at the Doyle Centre) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey.
NO CORRECT UNIFORM = NO GAME.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
Swimming
The 2018 Victorian Age Swimming Championships were held in December at MSAC. One of our very own MLMC students Keilani Trewavis (Year 11) dominated in the pool, winning the girls 16 Years 200m Breaststroke final in 2.38.73, over 8 seconds ahead of the next placed Victorian. Keilani also lead from start to finish in the girls 16 Year 400m Individual Medley final to win Gold, in 4.57.76, over 12 seconds ahead of the silver medalist. Some of her other results from the meet:
- Gold - Girls 16 Years 100m Breaststroke
- Silver - Girls 16 Years 400m Freestyle
- Bronze - Girls 16 Years 200m IM
- Bronze - Girls 16 Years 200m Butterfly
We also had another MLMC student, Matthew Perry (Year 10) compete at the Championships for the first time in his swimming career. Matthew had a great swim in his 100m Breaststroke, taking 2 seconds off his PB.
We look forward to watching Keilani, Matthew and our other swimmers compete in the upcoming school swimming carnival on Friday 23 February!
