I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our convenors, managers, coaches and parents for the effort that you have put into creating valuable opportunities for our students to participate in the Merici Co-curricular Sporting program. The contributions of our volunteers and their service as coaches and managers are at the heart of the school’s sporting program. Without their support, co-curricular sport would not exist.
Congratulations and thank you to all our players for your community spirit and sportsmanship. Although the sporting seasons did not finish in the way we had hoped 2021 did see the largest number ever of co-curricular sporting teams at the College. I applaud all of you for your commitment and courage as many of you decided to try a new sport for the first time this year.
Merici encourages all our students to get out on the field, court, lake or track and get active by being involved in our co-curricular program. Sport at Merici is about promoting physical wellbeing & fitness, fostering an understanding of healthy competition, building connections and, above all else, having fun! I encourage our award recipients here today to use your strengths and positive experiences to continue to grow the number of students participating in our sporting programs.
