From the Head of Sport

This week we ran the BMGS Swimming Carnival. I would like to send  a big thank you to all the parents and staff for helping make the day a success. Without these people we would not be able to run our carnivals. Thank you!

Presentation Evenings

Presentation evenings will be held in Week 10. If you have been taking photos throughout the season can you please arrange to pass them onto your MIC so that they can use them as part of their presentation evening.

ISA Swimming Carnival

The ISA Swimming Carnival will be held on Wednesday, 15th March at Sydney Olympic Swim Centre. 

Information for this Carnival will be distributed to those students who qualify. Any student who is unable to attend must notify immediately so that we can replace them if possible.

Any students who have qualifying times for long distance events not run at the ISA Carnival need to come and see me at my office.

Tennis

BMGS Tennis – Round 8 

Last Saturday we travelled out to Bathurst, enjoying the warm sunshine along the way, and escaping the afternoon heat later on.  Once again we played against St Stanislaus College, as a repeat of Round 1, but with better results.

The BMGS Odds team played the St Stanislaus Odds team. There were wins for Jesse, David, Otto, Hugo Lewczak and Jed. Jesse and David and Hugo and Jed won their doubles with Raph and Otto narrowly missing out in the match tiebreak. The coach from St Stanislaus was particularly impressed with the way in which Hugo and Jed played their doubles – assisting the less experienced boy from the other side and playing with good sportsmanship. Well done, boys. The Odds won 15 sets to 4.

The BMGS Evens team played the St Stanislaus Evens team. Neil won his singles and partnered with Eladie to win their doubles as well. Alex won his singles match, putting into action the skills learnt during training. Whilst the Evens lost 9 sets to 6, they are all continuing to improve. 

Round 9 will be in Lithgow – we even travel away to get to our 'home' ground.
