TAS Trimester 2 Sport

Congratulations to all our WestMAC teams on a tremendous round of sport over the weekend against St Paul’s. After a few disrupted weeks, it was fantastic to see such strong performances across the board. Here’s a snapshot of how each sport fared:

• Tennis: 1 win, 5 losses – After two rounds of washouts, our players finally got on court and showed great effort across all matches.
• Rugby: 4 wins from 4. An incredible day, with our Year 7 and Year 9/10 teams remaining undefeated. We are well and truly in the race for Champion Rugby School.
• Hockey: 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses – While not our strongest scoreboard showing, the determination displayed by our teams, especially playing with minimal numbers, was outstanding.
• Netball: A clean sweep – 15 wins from 15 matches! This is our first ever complete round win against St Paul’s, and possibly a historic moment for WestMAC netball. A phenomenal achievement.
• Overall Results:
  29 Games Played; 21 Wins, 1 Draw, 7 Losses

This outstanding round has set us up brilliantly heading into the final three rounds of the season. Well done to all players, coaches, and supporters – keep the momentum going!

TAS Pink Round

Congratulations to the entire WestMAC Community for coming together in support of our annual Pink Round on Saturday 17 May 2025. The day was filled with great energy, fantastic entertainment, and outstanding hospitality from the P&F. In addition to the high-quality sport on display, we successfully raised much-needed funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Final totals are still being confirmed, but we anticipate raising over $6,000 once again. A big thank you to all people who contributed including:

• All Sports Captains for promoting Pink Round and setting up their respective playing areas.
• Mrs Pam Brigginshaw for making the 175 pink scrunchies!
• P&F volunteers led by Rebecca Butler and Danita Perrett. Their organisation and support leading up to the event and on the day was outstanding and the day would not have been as successful without them and their wonderful army of volunteers.
• Our musicians for providing entertainment; Santo Rae, Ally and Sarah Music, student band Eyrie, Matt Leeson, CJ Leeson, and our very own Mr Chris Leeson.
• All families and community members for the donation of baked goods and/or raffle prizes.
• The Graham family for attending the day and presenting jerseys to our Rugby players.
• All staff, players, coordinators, coaches, players and supporters for making the day a wonderful event.

Junior TAS Rugby and Netball

Over the past few weeks, our Junior TAS Netball and Rugby players have shown tremendous growth, with noticeable improvements in their skills during training sessions. It’s been fantastic to see these new skills being applied in games, leading to some impressive results. This progress is a direct reflection of the students’ positive attitudes, discipline, and commitment at both training and on game day. Keep up the great work, WestMAC!

TAS Cross Country – Champion Effort!

On Wednesday, 120 students from Years 7–12 proudly represented West Moreton Anglican College at the annual TAS Cross Country Carnival hosted at St Paul’s. It was a day filled with spirit, enthusiasm, grit, and pride—qualities that our athletes displayed in abundance from start to finish.

We are thrilled to share that WestMAC had an incredibly successful day on the course, finishing 2nd overall in a fiercely contested carnival. The standout achievement was our Girls team, who were crowned Overall Champions for the fourth consecutive year—a true testament to their consistent excellence and determination.

Major Team Highlights include:

• Girls Overall Champions (4th year in a row)
• Boys Overall – 4th Place
• Girls Overall Percentage – 1st Place
• Boys Overall Percentage – 2nd Place
• Champion Age Groups:
• 13 Years Girls
• 14 Years Girls
• Open Girls*

*Special mention to our Open Girls, who have claimed the Champion Age Group title every year since Year 7—a six-year streak!

While our girls undoubtedly led the charge, it was equally pleasing to witness the remarkable improvement in our boys' performance. Three of our boys’ age groups finished in the top three, and two more placed fourth—clear signs that our culture of sporting excellence is growing stronger across the board.

Individual Standout Performances included:

• Mikaela Learoyd – 1st Age Champion
• Oliver Drysdale – 3rd Age Champion
• Tiana Parsons – 1st Age Champion
• Sienna Sanders – 3rd Age Champion
• Macie Mottram – 2nd Age Champion

These impressive results would not have been possible without the dedication and guidance of our coaching team. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Purvey for coordinating cross country this term. Mrs Purvey was brilliantly supported by Mrs van Deventer, Mr Leeson, Mr Forbes, and WestMAC alumnus Sam Fothergill.

We also extend our gratitude to team captains Charlotte Parsons and Oliver Ryan, who led by example and played a key role in uniting and inspiring their peers.

Congratulations to all involved—this was a true team effort and a proud day for WestMAC sport!

Junior TAS Cross Country

On Wednesday 21 May our Junior TAS Cross Country students travelled to St Paul’s to compete in the Junior TAS Cross Country. The WestMAC students performed well in warm conditions and there were quite a few fantastic individual efforts on the day. All the students who attended should be exceptionally proud of not only their efforts on the track but in the way that they supported their team mates and spirit they displayed.
