Alicia Molik supporting Merici Tennis

Alicia Molik spoke to Year 7 and 8 students about the importance of being active.

Year 7 and 8 students were very fortunate to have the Federation Cup Captain and former World No 8 Tennis Player Alicia Molik come and speak with them this week about the importance of females being active. Alicia’s conversation was about inspiring, energising and empowering young women to be more active and encouraging girls to participate in sports and build each other up. Participation in “Physical Activity is not about being the best or being perfect, it’s about giving it a go, trying new things and making new friends. Physical activity can change your mood, give you more energy, and keep you healthy”. The year 8 students were also lucky enough to have a coaching session with Alicia Molik.

To help motivate students to keep active we have teamed up with Tennis Canberra and lessons are held at Merici College every Tuesday afternoon.  For more information you can contact [email protected]

In addition, we will be running the Merici Hot Shots open of a lunchtime from Weeks 6 to 10. Students will have the opportunity to sign up for this soon.
