July 20th Fixture

1st Cross Country - Kieran Hesse

Another cold and windy winters morning was the setting for round 5 of the AGSV Cross Country season. Being our first race back from an extended holiday break, there was a range of emotions around the team,  some boys were exited to show off their fitness gained over holiday trainings while others felt fear as they knew this race was the one with “the big hill”. This round of Cross country was particularly special however as it was finally our chance to wear the Indigenous themed singlet, to raise awareness for the issues facing Indigenous Australians and to mark our respect.

Our seniors were once again up first at 9:00 on a course covering just over 5Km. The ...

2019 AGSV Championships

Report by Teacher in Charge of Swimming, Mr David Bellis

The Marcellin AGSV Swim team came together for the final time in 2019 last Friday night, March 22nd. This is the night our swimmers have been preparing for every Tuesday and Thursday morning since the start of the term. Whilst a focus on team culture has been evident throughout the program, there was one true goal that every swimmer had for AGSV competition, which was to give Marcellin College a top 3 placing. Having come 4th for the previous three years  and the gap between us and Camberwell (3rd) decreasing each year, it was decided that 2019 was the year to finally achieve that goal.

We got off to the best start possible with Milton Simopoulos winning the very first event for the night (16/U 100m Freestyle). it was great to have Marcellin  on top of the points tally and set the tone for the ...
