Sports Committee

Hello, I am Sally Galvin and I am the 2020 Year 9 Sports Representative.  Throughout my time at Mt A I have participated in many sports, including Indoor Cricket, Hockey, Touch Football, Rugby 7s, Basketball, and AFL . I love being involved in sport as it is a way to relax and take your mind off schoolwork.  Due to Coronavirus I, along with many, have had to adapt to the sudden change in sporting activities.  To keep myself active in isolation I have been following workouts on YouTube and going for runs around the block. 

I have had the opportunity to interview my peer Zoe Elkin (Year 9) on her sport - ice skating.  I have put together four questions to learn about Zoe and why she loves ice skating.

How did you start ice skating?

I initially was introduced to the sport through family friends who were involved in ice skating.

What do you like about it?

I enjoy the sport, specifically the physical challenges and the enjoyment of learning new moves.  I also enjoy skating as it is fun and keeps me fit.

What’s your favourite skill?

My favourite skills are spins such as sit spins, camel spins, and combination spins. 

What level or class are you in and where do you train?

I skate at Boondall ice rink and have reached the level of novice which is intermediate.
