Sportsman of the Year 2018 In his final year Archie represented the College in 7 different sports, was involved in first teams in 4 major sports, and was an integral part of the success each of his teams had. As part of the 1st VI volleyball team his energy and athleticism was a standout as he combined his involvement in the Open AIC Swimming team and preparation for the 1st XV rugby season to keep him busy throughout Term 1. As part of a premiership-winning 1st XV rugby side, Archie continued his new-found thirst for contact sports and participated in the confraternity rugby league team. Throughout the final semester, Archie represented the College in basketball for the s, played water polo in the final sport of 2018 before concluding his year in one of the major sports of track and field where he co-captained the team to a win in a row. Archie s excellence in 2018 has completed his sporting journey at MCA in a rewarding way that resulted in achieving this well-deserved award. Congratulations Archie! Individual Achievements Congratulations to: Tom Hallion has been selected to represent Metropolitan North at the 10- Cricket State hips in Townsville that took place on 11-15 November. Jackson Grounds has been named in the 2019 Bandits State Team to represent QLD at 2019 Nationals. The National campaign will run from the 11-20 Jan 2019 at Blacktown Olympic Park in Sydney. Des Connor Park Renovations At the start of 2018 we worked hard to address the state of the fields on Des Connor Park known as the flats. Through the work in the past two years our fields have close access to water, and the completion of stage 1 has presented us with two fields that have high quality playing surfaces to rival the main fields inside the college grounds. Stage 2 will begin in the next week and will see the final relocation of cricket wickets to be placed in goal / dead ball areas, meaning that there will be no cricket pitches in the middle of any rugby and football fields. The final stage of the flats upgrade is due for completion at the end of Stage 1 meaning we will have four high-quality fields available for the rugby and football season in Term 2. Uniforms A very important part of representing Ashgrove in any sporting competition is our presentation. t is the position of our College and most AIC colleges that no student should be on the court or field if they are not dressed in the correct uniform. All coaches will be asked to not put a player on until they have the correct uniform so please organise this ASAP. Please see photos below as examples of correct Cricket and Volleyball attire. Uniform costs are as follows: ITEMS PURCHASED FROM UNIFORM SHOP Cricket Shirt: $42.00 Cricket Pants: $28.00 Sports Shorts - Soccer / Basketball / PE / Volleyball: $31.00 ITEMS PURCHASED ON QKR APP Volleyball Shirt: $30 Marist College Ashgrove - The Buzz - Page 2
