A great start to Term 2

The second half of term 1, was once again another busy but successful period for Team MSC. We held our athletics carnival on our athletics track with all students getting involved in the day in one way or another through competitive and novelty events. Our Swim team followed on from their 9th successive win in divisional swimming to swim strongly at SMR level, with many PB’s and strong results across the board. Our girls 16 year old 4x50m relay team advanced through to represent us at state level.

Within our team sports we had success across the board with wins in Baseball, Cricket, Tennis and Volleyball. Our Senior Boys Cricket and Year 7 Mixed Baseball team will play in state finals in October and November after successful Southern Metropolitan Regional Finals. Our Volleyball and Tennis teams have also competed or are due to compete in the SMR Finals in the coming weeks.
