Tryouts and Training

All students are reminded that it is their responsibility to keep an eye out for any trial or training sessions to be held for their interested sport. This can be either on the screens, Compass or via email so keep your eyes peeled!

Student Coaches

I would like to congratulate our students who expressed interest in coaching a sporting team this year. I had a large amount of applicants so the decision was incredibly difficult with much consideration and time spent on ensuring the students requests were met. I look forward to working with our large cohort of student coaches in 2023.

Swimming Carnival

Our first MGSC house event will be held on Wednesday 1 March at Oakleigh Recreation Pool. This is an exciting opportunity for the entire school community to gather together and show their passion and pride towards their house. This is a whole school event with students transported to and from the venue.

Students participating in the 50m freestyle trials must registered interest (via the form sent out) and be at the school gym by 8am to have the roll marked and to board the buses to the pool. All other students are to make their way to the normal period 1 class for the roll and will then be instructed to board buses.

Further information about the day will be distributed over the coming week so please ensure you read it carefully.

Should you have any questions please either ask your PE teacher or come and see Ms Barton in the gym office.

Looking forward to reporting on many of our school sport achievements in 2023!
