Term 1, 2018 has been filled with many sporting activities and achievements here at Mary MacKillop Catholic College (MMCC).

This term we had 4 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 Intermediate Volleyball team make it through to the Grand Final. They were unfortunately beaten by Holy Spirit College in a close match. Congratulations to the Intermediate Volleyball team and their Coaches Miss Ana Miljack and 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.

It was a long trip to and from Waverley on Friday the 4th of May and a big day had by all students and coaches. The team took it all in their stride and represented our College with pride. There were 39 students from MMCC who ran 3 – 6km depending on their age group. Well done to all students who were a part of this great team! A big thank you to both Mr Whiley and Mrs Crossley who have working with the team to prepare for the carnival; as well as Miss Miljack who accompanied the team on the day.

All 3 students have since been selected to progress to the Combined Catholic Colleges Cross Country carnival on the 15th June.

The remainder of Term 2 will bring about more representative SCC sport, including Senior Soccer, 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 having fun!
