Congratulations to our Sport Awards winners, recognised at this week’s awards evening.
Our special guest and alumni, Maverick Weller (Gold Coast, St Kilda, Richmond – AFL) spoke fondly of his memories and times at MRC and growing up on the North West Coast, along with the friendships he forged at the College, many he still maintains today. He also acknowledged the mentorship and advice he received as a student at Marist from teachers such as Mr Xavier Williams, Mr Grant Sims and others, that helped guide him on his path and perhaps ‘keep him in check’ whilst a student. Reflecting on some great advice from a coach during his football days—”Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses”— I find it particularly relevant as we enter a busy time of year with exams for our Senior College students.
Congratulations to our graduating class of 2024, and those students that received an Outstanding Service to Sport Award for their commitment to represent MRC in their time as a student.
