SPORTING PURSUITS

BRAD GRIFFITHS - MIDDLE LEADER SPORT & STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

The students of #teammarymac continued their pursuit of the vast opportunities available to them at the College in 2022. Participation numbers continue to swell in our more popular offerings such as touch football and football, and a whole new generation of students were involved in sports such as volleyball and futsal which also increased in popularity.

These opportunities do not come without considerable investment from our dedicated staff - thank you so much to those of you who put in the hours. You are very much appreciated. Pleasingly, we have had a number of students embrace coaching opportunities this year. The connections these students are forming with our younger students perfectly illustrate a P-12 community in action.

A dedicated band of parents filled roles from coach to manager to supporter and it has been wonderful to work with such a supportive community. Your willingness and enthusiasm allow us to field large numbers of teams in school and community competitions across the region.

Highlights this year included our annual trip to the Queensland All-Schools Touch Carnival in both the Junior and Senior College, the huge growth of Rugby 7s, SEQ Primary Football Championships, Monday afternoon School Girls Soccer competition, Volleyball and Futsal success, huge numbers of Darling Downs representatives, and countless other moments that made participants, spectators - our community, proud.

We look forward to the completion of our new sports oval in the near future and the opportunity to host fixtures on our home turf.

Bring on 2023!
