T4, Week 3
Equestrian News
Last week we had the absolute pleasure of taking 8 students, the largest team yet, to Tamworth for the Inter-schools Horse Extravaganza!
ISHE is held in Tamworth and is open to primary and secondary school students. This event offers a wide range of disciplines, including – showjumping, one-day event, sporting, show riding, dressage, combined training, campdraft and working horse challenge. And, in the evenings, we had great fun with the highly contested sausage dog race and (the always entertaining!) ‘Woof & Hoof.’
The team competed in a range of events over the week and all demonstrated the values of our school: Courage, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Self-Control and Trust. We are so proud of each and every one of these young people as they supported each other and did their best.
The results were excellent and they are all to be congratulated, along with their amazing parents who were up early every morning, grooming, feeding, volunteering, counselling and averaging walking 15 kms per day as they supported not only their own child but the whole team!

Thredbo Mountain Bike Excursion - 2024
Earlier in the year, Secondary students involved in the Medowie MTB Program were given the opportunity to attend our Mountain Bike Excursion to Thredbo. This was an outstanding five day excursion that saw many of our Secondary students challenge themselves across the mountainous trails of Thredbo and surrounding areas around Jindabyne. This trip will take place again early next year during Week 5 of Term 1, 2024.

Term 1 2023 - Our students and staff getting ready to leave for Thredbo.
This excursion to Thredbo requires students to have reached a reasonable level of mountain biking competence and confidence to be able to negotiate some very challenging mountain bike tracks. Safety is our number one priority and students interested in attending would need to be part of the MCS Mountain Bike Program during Wednesday Sport so that our experienced staff can teach some fundamental skills and regularly assess student skill levels.
If your child is part of the Mountain Bike Program and they are interested in attending next year, they would need to be available from Monday 26th February through to Friday 1st March, 2024 (Term 1, Week 5). Please note that this excursion would accrue an additional cost to parents and may require the hiring of a suitable mountain bike and protective equipment. Information will begin to be communicated to students at school next week before permission notes are distributed to interested students.
If your child thinks they might be interested, please give some consideration to the cost and timing of this excursion. As places are limited, a deposit will be required to secure a place for this event, before the end of Term 4.
Stay tuned for more Thredbo MTB news to come and enjoy the following photos from the previous Thredbo trip:

MCS Hats
I am delighted to report that almost all of our students are now coming to school with a hat. As was communicated in last term’s Sport News, wearing a hat is part of our sun safe policies at MCS, and essential when involved in outdoor activities to protect ourselves from the damaging ultraviolet light that causes sunburn and irreversible damage to our skin. Please continue to encourage your child to make sure they have their hat available for Term 4.
Please refer to the Whole School News for information on how to order MSC Uniforms.
Please see the school website for all of our sports information as it happens. https://www.mcs.nsw.edu.au/sport/
