Tuesday – Obstacle Course

Mr Condon’s year 10 health class created an exciting and thrilling obstacle course with a range of equipment spread across court 1 of the rec. Teams had to race through the course in the fastest time possible to come away with first place. Participants excelled on some elements while others were a little trickier than they first appeared. Even a few of the PE staff had a crack at the obstacle course however, they need to work on their bowling skills!

Wednesday – Yoga

With Ms Hollins leading the way, students challenged themselves to hold their own body weight in a number of challenging positions at the same time as putting their flexibility to the test. Participants gained insight yoga’s fluent movement sequences which involve both strengthening and stretching exercises.

MSC is extremely appreciative of the opportunity Woolworths Coburns Central enabled us to provide. Additionally, thank you to Ms Dunstan from administration who assisted with the fruit cutting.

Friday – Staff vs Student Soccer Match

As per usual, the annual rivalry was fierce from the start and the level of skill on show was outstanding. There was a number of shots which both goalies saved. It was clear both sides wanted to settle who the better side was after last year’s draw. Innocent hit the soccer board first for the students before Mr Curro evened it up for the teachers. The student team demonstrated grit to score another goal through Kiir, however, the staff were not letting the game go that easily. There was a number of fast breaks down to the staff scoring end but unfortunately nothing came of it. From here, it wasn’t long before the timer ran out and the match had been decided.        

Congratulations to the students on this year’s victory!
