Mid-season break

By Tamae Ninos and Josh Archer Email this article

Great successes so far as we take a brief pause.

The mid-year point marks a season break for all winter sports. There have been many highlights across Term 2 and we are looking forward to many more when the season resumes.

Thank you to everyone involved in our Girls and Boys Sport Program for their hard work and commitment with their respective teams. With many impressive coaches and staff dedicating time and effort to their teams each week, it has been great to see the rewards of excellent performances by their teams this Term.

For all results and Most Valuble Players (MVPs) visit the Stack Team App and read the ‘News’ section.

Cheering on our coach!
Our Open A1 and A2 netballers recently surprised their coach, Jessie Grenvold (Class of 2020), by supporting her Premier League game with Contax, cheering her on to a 20 point victory.

Starting with a team bonding dinner, the players came away from the game with plenty of ideas and inspiration after seeing these state-level performances.

Jessie was completely grateful for the support of her Mercedes College family (main picture).

Intercol 2023
Preparations for our Intercollegiate competition against Saint Ignatius' College are underway.

For the uninitiated, Intercollegiate (Intercol) is an annual competition held at the end of the winter sports program, with shields up for grabs in a variety of curriculum extension activities for a week during Term 3.

St Ignatius' College is the host this year, and we will share fixtures and other details once confirmed next Term.

Like you, we're looking forward to a great competition.

Thinking Pink!
Towards the end of June, our club teams embraced the School Sport Pink Round, raising breast cancer awareness and discussions about breast screening by adding a touch of pink to their uniforms. Well done to all of our teams for participating in this important initiative!
