Senior School Sport

Mr Jamie Cook

Welcome back to another exciting year of College Sport and co-curricular activities. As we all are aware, there will be some restrictions in place at all levels of College Sport. I encourage all students, parents and carers to become familiar with the restrictions and the measures in place to ensure safety for all those that are involved in competitions, trials or selections.

 

The College returns to a few weeks of Summer MCS representative sports. 

The MCS Cricket draw for the remainder of Term 1 is below.

 

MCS Basketball has 2 more rounds versus Greystanes (away) and Dundas (home) before moving into semi-finals in Week 4.

 

Good luck to all teams leading into the semi-finals.

 

A reminder to all parents, there are to be no spectators at these MCS sanctioned sporting events. Students are to use College transport to and from the games. Umpires and coaches have been instructed to stop games immediately if parents approach venues/sidelines etc and make contact with student teams/groups. This competition requires all stakeholders to abide by the safety guidelines so all teams in all competitions can continue to the season out.

 

A reminder as we are in Term 1 Summer Sports, that all students will be required to supply their College hat and water bottle for Thursday sport. Sunscreen will be provided to students who request it as we aim to create awareness and protection against the summer weather.

 

 

Senior College Swimming Carnival

The Senior College Swimming carnival will be held at The Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre on Friday 12 February. A letter to families was sent earlier this week outlining the preparation for the carnival. I urge all parents to read the information again, especially regarding transport as some services have changed for this day. Permission for the carnival was sent via email as an online Google Form. This has been sent several times to families. This Permission Form needs to be completed before the swimming carnival to allow entry into the pool and also allow participation in the events.

Changes to attendance, seating and swimming events were also needed to meet the NSW Government, CSNSW and local Council COVID-19 Safety plans. I remind all parents, carers and family, that no spectators will be permitted into the centre to watch the carnival.

 

If there are any further information requests, please make contact via email.
