MGC takes on New Zealand’s best

The traditional trans-Tasman rivalry was ignited on the netball courts of MGC, when New Zealand’s Westlake High School took on MGC’s best netballers as part of their 2018 Tour of Melbourne.

Both courts were abuzz with action as the Seniors (Yr11 and 10) and Middle School (Yr8 and 9) teams battled it out for the opportunity of a lifetime. Unfortunately, the result was not kind to us in either match, with Westlake boasting both height and speed across the whole court. Our students battled hard throughout all 4 quarters and pushed Westlake all the way, ensuring the matches were a spectacle for all the supporters who came down to watch. 

Thanks also to the Parents’ Association for providing the grant to help us purchase our new netball dresses.

Yr7 Softball – Regional Finals

Last Friday, the Year 7 softball team battled the traffic and the elements as they made the trip out to Mill Park to represent our Division in the Regional Softball Championships. Coached by Victoria Fitzgerald, our students played well throughout their pool games, and won the right to compete against Epping in the Grand Final. Unfortunately, Epping were just too strong across all areas of softball and won the final 10-0.

Congratulations to all students who were involved, especially as this is the first pennant our Year 7’s of 2018 have won.

Upcoming Sport

Plenty of emails and notices have gone out to the students about getting involved with Interschool AFL and Cross Country. Training for both sports are underway as of next week. Any students interested in AFL need to check their emails and fill out the online sign up sheet. Those interested in Cross Country need to email Ms Tellefson.
