Sports News

For the first time in 12 months, MGC was able to safely run a whole school event. The day was filled with great participation and competition from all swimmers. We also were able to see multiple records broken from the individual events. A big congratulations to all swimmers on their efforts. Outside of the pool, students were able to enjoy Mr. Vance’s famous ‘Dunk the Teacher’ and the inaugural ‘Minute to Win it’ games by Ms. Rosos which were a massive hit. The Zumba event was also enjoyed by all who danced in the pool. A big thank you to all teachers that helped run the day and all the behind the scenes work by staff that made for a successful return to sport. A final congratulations goes to Maris for winning the House Swimming Carnival for the second year in a row by 1 point to Chisholm.

School Sport – Team Vic Trials 

School Sport Victoria will once again be offering the opportunity for students with emerging talent from your school community to register to trial for school sport Team Vic teams in 2021.

Registrations to trial will be opening very soon and remain open until Monday 1 March, 2021 for Team Vic Big 5 teams: 12 years and under Boys Australian Football, 12 years and under Boys Basketball, 12 years and under Girls Basketball, 12 years and under Boys Cricket, 12 years and under Boys Football (Soccer) and 12 years and under Netball. Please note that registration to trial for these teams is limited to 3 students from your school. If there are more students than 3 seeking endorsement it is up to the school Principal to ensure a selection process is undertaken to choose the students most appropriate in 2021.

 

These are not Come ‘n’ Try opportunities. They are a process for selecting a Team Vic State Team going to School Sport Australia National Championships.
