Two MCCC students are heading to Perth in April to participate in the Australian Junior Athletics Championships. Year 10 student Ivy qualified for the Championships winning two NSW Championships for 15 yrs javelin. Ivy won gold in the recent NSW Junior Championships, backing up the gold she won representing the school at the NSW All Schools Championships in December.

Ivy, who is coached by MCCC support teacher Jenny Wyllie, represented MCCC at the Australian All Schools Championships in Brisbane at the end of 2024 where she finished 6th in Australia for the javelin!

Year 8 student Charlie is also heading to Perth, after success at both the NSW All Schools and NSW Junior Championships in the 14 yrs hammer throw. Charlie won silver at the recent NSW Junior Championships after his bronze medal representing MCCC at the NSW All Schools Championships.

A special mention also to Year 4 student Matilda. Matilda won a silver medal in the 10yrs girls 1100m race walk at the recent NSW Little Athletics Championships. Matilda’s age group isn’t eligible to participate in the Australian Championships, but we look forward to hearing about her progress!
