Sports Roundup

The MRC Swimming Carnival was held at the Burnie Aquatic Centre in Week 8. 

Two big days saw students compete in an array of competitive and social swimming events, with the weather being challenging for the Junior Carnival on the Monday. There were some excellent individual performances from a number of students, but it wasn’t until the final race of the carnival where the Colin Senior College relay team broke the only record for the event in the 4 x 50 Freestyle event. 

A big thank you to the cohort of staff involved in delivering the event for our students. A further acknowledgement to the parents who came to support their children, as well as a significant thank you to the Burnie Aquatic Centre and staff for hosting us. 

Congratulations to the Champion House, Frayne. 

Swimming Champions and Runners-Up were announced on the day, and these students will be acknowledged in a sport assembly early in Term 2. The provisional NSATIS Swimming team will be communicated in Term 2 for a Term 3 event. 

The two 1st Division NSATIS Tennis Teams have progressed to the NSATIS Final, to be played at home in Week 9 (Wednesday 3 April), with the Boys 2nds team to host a Semi-Final in Week 9 against St Brendan Shaw College. 

Sign-ups have been put out for NSATIS Hockey Boys and Girls (Term 2 competition) moved from Term 3, as well as Junior Soccer Boys and Girls (Year 7 and 8).  

Calling for Parents/Netball Coaches/Umpires – the BNA Winter season starts in Term 2, and our teams need parents to coach (or umpire). If you are interested in volunteering for a role supporting a student-team, please contact the Head of Sport via email – tlutwyche@mrc.tas.edu.au  

A reminder, the MRC Athletics Carnival will be taking place in Week 9 (Thursday 4 and Friday 5 April).
