What an amazing term of sporting opportunities for students at OLMC! Our girls have been heavily involved in a variety of weekly GSV Sports, Championship Sports, CGSAV AFL, OLMC Aerobics, and OLMC Gymnastics.

HOUSE ATHLETICS

We started the term off with a bang hosting our annual House Athletics Carnival on Tuesday 5 May. The OLMC community gathered at Tom Kelly Athletics Track in Doncaster for a fantastic 2026 House Athletics Carnival, we want to extend a massive thank you to all the staff and students who made the day such a success.

A number of people are involved in an event of this scale, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who worked behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly.

To our students, you brought such incredible colour, enthusiasm, and joy to the track, whether you were competing in the events, joining in the novelty races, or cheering loudly from the stands, your contribution was amazing.

A big congratulations to McAuley House for being crowned the School Champions once again, as well as to our individual Year Level Champions and Runners-Up for their amazing performances. Well done to everyone who participated in this year's House Athletics Carnival!

CATHOLIC GIRLS SPORT ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA (CGSAV) AFL

We had three teams participate in the CGSAV tournament in June. While our Junior team had a tough day on the field, both our Intermediate and Senior teams fought hard to make it through to their respective Grand Finals.

The Seniors came away with the ultimate win, while the Intermediates finished as proud runners-up after a hard-fought match. Congratulations to Talia K, who was awarded the CGSAV Best Player in the Senior Grand Final!

We wish our Senior AFL Team the best of luck as they progress to compete in the prestigious Herald Sun Shield this coming August.

REPRESENTATIVE GSV SELECTIONS FOR TERM 3

We are thrilled to announce that GSV has selected three of our very own OLMC students to represent the association in this year’s GSV Representative Netball, Soccer, and Cross Country teams!

SUCCESS AT STATE ALL SCHOOLS CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

• Livi B, Year 7 competed at the recent Athletics Victoria, State All Schools Cross Country Championship Event at Bundoora Park. Livi finished 11th in her age group which means she has qualified to run for Victoria at the National Cross Country Championship in Ballarat in August.

Congratulations to Livi, we wish her well.

GSV WEEKLY SPORTS

We want to give a special thanks to all the students who were involved and committed to a GSV Sport this Term. This term OLMC held Netball for Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels, as well as Hockey and AFL for Juniors.

We have had a very successful semester in sport particularly with our netball teams. Congratulations to teams in our Senior and Junior squads for making it into finals this year, what an incredible achievement.

In Junior netball, an amazing 6 out of the 10 teams made finals (Teams A, B, C, D and I). Whilst the teams may have not finished with the result they wanted on the day, they did a fantastic job in representing OLMC.

Our Senior A and B teams both made the finals. While unfortunately, the B team was knocked out early, the A team progressed through with a one point semi-final win before securing an impressive win in the grand final. This premiership has earned them a place at the State Championships next term.

We congratulate all students who competed in GSV Weekly Sport. See our finishing positions below on respective GSV Sport ladders:

Thank you to all the staff, coaches, and students involved in OLMC Sport for Term 2.
