Year 8 Soccer
On Thursday June 7, our Year 8 Soccer team began their 2018 campaign with fantastic results in the first round of competition at a very windy Princes Park. The team went into the final having won both of their matches 3-0 and 12-0 respectively, thanks to a mixture of brilliant team work and some stand out individual performances from Erica Brown Yamada, Victoria Trentin, Michelle Levin and Emily Mackie. The final saw the team up against a much tougher University High School side, where we managed to hold on and claim the victory 2-1 thanks to some great goalkeeping from Jazzy Hughes and an amazing save off the line from defender, Alice Luxton. The team will progress to the regional finals next term.

Year 8 Netball
The year 8 netball day was a great way to get involved. It was a very enjoyable day for both the competitive teams and the social teams. There were 2 MGC competitive teams the (A and B teams) who played a good standard of netball to try and get to the next round, there was also 4 MGC social teams that were there to have some fun with their friends and work on their netball skills. The A and B teams played really well throughout the day meaning that they would play each other in the final to see who would go into the next round. the final was a very close and intense game, the B team put up a good fight but the A team came out on top. We would like to thank everyone who made this day possible, thanks to the year 9 and 10 umpires, coaches and all of the teachers that helped out to make the day run smoothly. We would also like to thank Mr Fero-Kovassy who ran try outs and organised the day, his hard worked really paid off as everyone had such a great time.
