Semester 2 is flying by and there are many events happening around the College.  

The Year 7 and 8 students have been working hard through their Winter Sports this term. Students have had the opportunity to participate in a range of sports including Gymnastics, Hockey, Soccer, AFL, Softball and Badminton.  

In Term 4 we look forward to hosting our inaugural SEPEP tournaments. The Year 7s will battle it out in Netball and the Year 9s will compete in SEPEP Handball. It is sure to be a fantastic term of events.  

After not being able to run our Gymnastics program last year due to Covid-19, we are extremely excited to be running it this term for both our Year 7 and 9 students. Gymnastics activities range from floor routines and apparatus work including the high bar, vault, beam, ropes and rings! This program tests students on a deep cognitive level, as they move through individual and team challenges, that they might not have experienced before.  

An important reminder for students to bring their PE uniform in a bag to every lesson. This aids in reducing the likelihood of lost items and expensive uniform replacements. Additionally, if you are able to label your top and bag that will also assist in keeping personal belongings in one place. I’d like to thank the parent and college community for their support in this process. 

It’s been a successful month for Mooroolbark College in Interschool Sport, with three teams competing at the Eastern Metropolitan Region championships. 
 
Congratulations to the following teams: 
– Year 7 Boys AFL 
– Year 7 Girls Netball 
– Intermediate Girls Soccer  
 
Special mention to the Year 7 Girls Netball team who played incredibly well, placing second in the region.  

This terms sports are Basketball, Hockey and Table Tennis. Please have a look at Compass for the Microsoft Forms sign-up sheet.
