GSV Weekly Sport
This term, we saw students participate in both Soccer and, for the first time, Badminton as part of GSV weekly sport. It was fantastic to see such strong involvement across all year levels, with Junior A & B and Senior teams representing us in Soccer, and teams competing in Junior, Intermediate, and Senior levels in Badminton.
Our Junior B Soccer team had a remarkable run, taking home the Zone Winners title and progressing to the finals, where they unfortunately fell short in the semi-final. The Senior Soccer team also impressed, finishing 3rd on the ladder and advancing through a dominant semi-final win. In a thrilling Grand Final that went to a penalty shootout, OLMC proudly finished as runners-up. A huge congratulations to all students who participated in weekly sport this term. We now look forward to Term 4, which will bring the excitement of Basketball and Cricket
