ACC Swimming Victory

We are very excited to report that yesterday in the ACC Division B Swimming Carnival Mazenod won the Overall Boys Shield and the Senior Boys Shield with the Juniors coming third. Having previously won the boys championship in 2021, this is a back to back victory for the College as no carnival was run in 2022. The result is a culmination of amazing individual performances, solid results in the relays, and dedication to training. 

Our success started with Aadan K (Year 7) breaking the ACC U/13 100m freestyle record (1:02.79) in the first event for the day. From then on we had amazing individual results, with standout performances from Aadan K (Year 7), Charles W (Year 8), Nicholas H (Year 10), Bailey B (Year 10), Brodie I (Year 11), and Zachary L (Year 11). We headed into the relays equal with Corpus Christi College for the Overall Boys Championship. The relay teams performed incredibly, with some of the outstanding performances including: 

2nd Div II U/15

1st Div II U/16

1st Div 2 U/17

1st Div 1 U/13

1st Div 1 U/16

1st Div 1 U/17

A special moment was having Mr Watson, in his role as ACC President, have the opportunity to present the two shields in his final few weeks at the College as principal. It was an exciting day and the boys should be very proud of their efforts. As always, their pride for the College and demonstration of the Mazza Spirit was on display. A big thank you to Mr Mallon and Joshua Pendal (Class of 2019) for coaching the boys , and to Mr Mason for his management of the team. We’re looking forward to getting in the pool again in 2024!

House Traithlon

The Annual House Triathlon is scheduled for the last day of Term 1, Wednesday 5 March. The event takes place on the College grounds. 

This is an optional event for students who are competent and capable of completing one of the required legs of the race due to previous training in that activity. As a guide, if students are in the ACC swimming team, they would be a suitable swimmer for a triathlon team. 

Riders must be able to transport their own bike to school on the day (except for boarders).

Also, a big thanks to the parents who came down to support the students.
