House Tour de Monash

During term 3 students participated in the annual House Tour de Monash competition. It was a little different to previous years as Doherty and Flannery participated in week 2, while Blackburn and Wood participated in week 10 of this term. Students and staff from each house committed themselves to riding their hearts out before school, during their recess and lunch breaks, as well as after school to achieve some amazing distances. It was once again an amazing example of JMSS Spirit of giving it a go and having fun. The overall results were:

1 st Place = Doherty (81.79km)

2 nd Place = Blackburn (79.04km)

3rd Place = Flannery (74.59km)

4th Place = Wood (64.93km)

Congratulations to everyone involved.

Monash Division Track and Field

On Thursday 3 rd September, 50 JMSS students competed at the Monash Division Track and Field Competition in a range of events from running, jumping and throwing. The weather was much better than our house carnival and students were incredible with stepping up and filling in the event gaps to hopefully bring victory to JMSS and have fun.

We had 20 students win their events and will be progressing through to the Eastern Metropolitan Region Track and Field Championships which will take place in week 1 next term.

JMSS also took home the Senior Winners Shield!

Congratulations to all of the students who participated on the day, including our volunteers and thank you for the staff for assisting with the events and making the day special.
