Student achievements

Congratulations to the following students: 

Mackenzie Williams (Year 10), who represented Tasmania on the national stage in the 2022 NAB League Girls competition. Mackenzie plays for the Tasmania Devils, who claimed a back-to-back win for the season in their match against the Bendigo Knights on Saturday 19 February (Devils 9.10.64 v Bendigo 5.6.36). 

Well done on a fantastic game, Mackenzie and congratulations to fellow team players—and SMC alumni—Amy Prokopiec, Georgia Alomes, Maddie Lamb, Bellah Parker and Claire Ransom. The girls have enormous talent and we know they will do the club and Tasmania proud for the remainder of the 2022 season.

Emma Grubb (Year 10), who competed at the Tasmanian State Track and Field Championships held at the Domain Athletics Centre from 18-20 February. 

Emma dominated on the track, coming away with first place in the U18's 100m, 200m and 400m. Emma also participated in the Open 4x100m and 4x400m relay, taking out second place in both events. What an impressive performance! Well done, Emma. 

Mackenzie Graves (Year 8), who also put her best foot forward at the Tasmanian State Track and Field Championships, winning gold in the U15 javelin with a throw of 31.01m.

Mackenzie has now been selected to compete at the 2022 National Athletics Championships to be held in Sydney in March. Well done, Mackenzie and best of luck for the upcoming nationals! 

Abigail McLennan (Year 2), who bravely parted with her long locks in the name of charity. 

Abigail has been growing her hair since she was four years old with the goal to raise money and eventually donate her hair to children who have lost theirs due to illness or treatment. 

During the recent school holidays, Abigail had her first haircut and donated 40cm of hair! She has raised more than $1,800 which is going towards Hair with Heart – Variety the Children's Charity's national hair donation and fundraising program. Well done, Abigail. The College is very proud of you.
