MMCC Term 1 Sports Report

Term 1, 2017 has been filled with many sporting activities and achievements here at Mary MacKillop Catholic College. This term we had 5 teams compete in the Sydney Catholic Colleges (SCC) competitions; these were Senior Touch football, Year 7- 9 AFL, and Junior and Intermediate Volleyball.

This commitment involves numerous trials, training sessions and challenging games for both coaches and players. This term we had our Junior Volleyball team make it through to the Semi Finals undefeated. They were unfortunately beaten by Saint Charbel’s College in a close match; MMCC only going down by 6 points in the first game (19-25) and only 3 points in the second (22-25). Congratulations to the Junior Volleyball team and their Coach Mrs Pauline Jeffery for their tremendous efforts and successful term of SCC. Also, a big thank you to all SCC coaches and teams that competed this term.

Term 2 will bring about more representative SCC sport, including Senior Soccer, Cross Country, Dance, and Junior, Intermediate and Senior Netball. We will also have our annual Athletics Carnival and there are always other great opportunities such as Thursday afternoon school sport and Gala days coming up in the school year. It’s good to see all staff and students getting involved and have fun!
