Senior Tennis Championship
The Mazenod College Senior Tennis Championship was held on Friday, 6 February after school under challenging hot conditions, providing a true test of skill, fitness and resilience for all competitors.
Despite the heat, six students took to the courts and produced a high standard of tennis throughout the day, demonstrating great sportsmanship and determination.
Matches were closely contested, with players showing strong serving, consistent rallying and impressive tactical awareness as the championship progressed.
Four students progressed through to the semi-final stage. Congratulations to Ryder L, Ryan A, Cooper D and Cameron K who all played outstanding tennis to secure their places. The senior semi-finals will be played at lunchtime, where we can expect another exciting round of matches as the players compete for a place in the championship final.
Well done to all competitors involved and thank you to those who assisted in the organisation of the day. We wish all remaining players the best of luck as the championship continues.

House Swimming Carnival 2026
The Mazenod College House Swimming Carnival was held over two exciting days, bringing together students from all Houses for a fantastic display of competition, spirit and camaraderie. With perfect conditions across both days, students competed enthusiastically in a wide range of events, earning valuable points for their Houses and proudly representing their colours.
The competition between Houses was intense, with every race contributing to the overall standings. It was outstanding to witness the determination of our competitive swimmers and the encouragement shown by those cheering from the sidelines. The level of sportsmanship displayed throughout the carnival reflected the strong sense of community at Mazenod.
A sincere thank you to all staff, grounds staff, student leaders and parents who generously gave their time to ensure the carnival ran smoothly. We also extend our gratitude to Trish and Trevor Verran from Guildford Kalamunda Swimming Club for their assistance and expertise across both days.
Congratulations to Albini on defending their title and going back-to-back as champions, proudly reclaiming the Francis Fernando Swimming Trophy. A tremendous achievement for the House.
