The Sports Committee focuses on
making the most of sport at Mount
Aspiring College. Our goal is to
involve students in a wide range of
activities and acknowledge sporting
achievements. We are lucky as a
school to have an amazing culture
and great opportunities handed to us
involving sport. As a committee we
organise events such as athletics day
and the Kavanagh sporting exchange,
we ensure that every event is well
organised and fun for anyone who is
involved. We have had a great year
fulfilled with achieving our goal of
encouraging Mount Aspiring students
to get involved and enjoy sport.
We helped organise many different
events, working with a range of age
groups. One of the main activities
we were most involved with was
Quad and we were positioned to
be the hosts this year for such a
great sporting event. We had the
opportunity to help select an A and B
team for each year level to compete in
the fun, competitive sport based days
as well as getting to choose which
sports would be played. We made a
great effort to welcome and support
the different schools and compete
against them. Everyone was very
enthusiastic, encouraging and overall
had great sportsmanship, making it a
really enjoyable tournament.
Our two main whole school events are
swim sports and athletics. The Sports
Committee help coordinate these
events every year as both days are
really good opportunities to go out and
have fun with your friends, while trying
to improve your skills. Luckily, here at
MAC we have students who always
embrace days like these, which is
always pleasing to see. We have also
started running lunchtime activities,
social volleyball for Years 9-13 on
Wednesdays and sports games for
Years 7 and 8 on Fridays. By having
these lunchtime activities, we are
hoping to entertain and encourage
people to experience new sports and
work with different people in a team
environment.
The committee also went out in the
community at the Upper Clutha
Festival of Sport and Recreation - we
love seeing all students participating
in the activities and always love
getting fully involved ourselves. We, as
a committee, are lucky enough to be
mentored by Mr Crosbie who allows
us to have these opportunities to take
on such great activities throughout
the year, not only for entertainment
and enjoyment for the students but
creating a unique culture around
sport at this school. We also give
Jacky Toepfer and Chrissi Pettit great
thanks for all their support towards
our committee and all they do for us
and the sport in this school to allow it
to be as great as it is.
