ACC Swimming All Stars
Congratulations to Ethan Glassborow who last week was announced as being selected in the ACC Swimming All Stars team for 2018. Ethan was selected in the team for the U/15 Boys Division II Freestyle event. This is Ethan’s third ACC Swimming All Stars selection and one more will see him awarded the ACC All Star Letters which is the highest individual ACC award.
State Touch Rugby Trials
Congratulations to Ivy Harding, Holly Giles and Subeedha Rijal who recently tried out for the State Touch Rugby team and have progressed through to the second round of selections. Holly and Subeedha said they discovered their love for the sport after playing in the SASj 8/9 Girls Touch Rugby team this year; the team was very unlucky not to take out the competition! We wish the girls all the best for the rest of the tryouts.
MJ Jansen van Rensburg
Congratulations to MJ Jansen van Rensburg who recently represented Australia as part of the School Sport Australia International Cross-Country Team which participated at the ISF World School Cross Country Championships in Paris, France from 27 March to 10 April. We were very pleased to hear that MJ came 32nd overall out 105 runners and was the third Australian to cross the finish line. Outstanding achievement, MJ!
SASj Champions
Congratulations to Mr Godfrey and our SASj 8/9 Girls Basketball team who recently won their SASj competition after going through the whole season undefeated. A very promising prospect for this team as these girls turn their attention to other competitions later in the year.

Students nominated for these teams at the start of the year and teams have already started training/tryouts as games commence as early as Week 1 next term. I ask that students involved in these teams remind their parents/guardians to respond to the MCB permission emails as early as possible to avoid students missing out on games. It is imperative that the College has received consent through this process for students to participate in these teams. These permission emails also include other important information such as competition fixtures, student pick up locations and a prompt to update emergency medical information.
Football/Soccer Socks
College football/soccer socks are available from the PE office for $8/pair. Royal blue football/soccer socks form part of the uniform for any students participating in any of the College’s AFL or soccer teams.
Canons Running Club
Commences Friday Week 2.1 on the junior oval. All students are invited to take part in these sessions either for fitness, preparation for the ACC Cross Country carnival later in the term or just to stay active. All ability levels are welcome to join in and as always, students can replenish their energy levels at Breakfast Club after training.
