What's On?
MFGSC Swimming Carnival
Tuesday 16th Feb 2016
Students are expected at school at the start of the day to have their period 1 roles marked before walking down to Kardinia Pool. They will be returning back to school for presentations and will be dismissed at 3.11pm.
The dress up theme is different for each house this year:
Green- Sport
Red- Movie Blockbusters
Gold- Beach
Blue- Fairy Tale
Students have been warned that body paint, streamers, coloured zinc, and balloons are not permitted.
If students intend to dress up then we would recommend wearing bathers under their costume so that they can compete and earn points for their house.
We hope all students attend this wonderful sporting event even if their intentions are not to swim. Trials are conducted in the morning with the main carnival beginning around 12pm.
Best of luck to all competitors on the day.

Modewarre Football Club Youth Girls 2016
Australian Rules Football is the fastest growing sport for girls and women in Australia. Girls are able to participate from Auskick right through into open age competitions. In fact there are a number of former MFGSC girls who are playing in senior women’s football teams, including the newly formed State Women’s competition. There are Regional, State and National competitions in girls’ football that your daughter could be involved in. Your child could be playing for an AFL team in a competition aligned to these clubs in a few years time!
Football is a great sport for girls.
Matthew Flinders GSC formed a girls’ football team 5 years ago and they are now known as Modewarre Youth Girls, with their home club being Modewarre Football Club at Moriac.
The girls train twice a week focusing on skills, fitness and game strategies. Players must attend at least one training session per week.
Games are played on Sunday mornings from April to August with a final series and grand final. Pre-season training will be once a week in Geelong, starting in January with regular training at the football club beginning in February.
We are now recruiting for season 2016
No football experience is necessary, just a positive attitude and a desire to play football. Your daughter will have access to top level coaching and mentoring at a family oriented, supportive club.
If you are interested in playing or require more information, please contact Miss Julie McNamara (Level 2 AFL coach):
