Term 3 Sport

Welcome back to Term 3! After a big Term 2, we hope the break may have offered some time for rest and relaxation and students are ready for an exciting term of sport activities at WestMAC.

The first round of TAS kicked off last weekend with the Eagles heading up the motorway to Bald Hills to take on St Paul’s. It was a successful start to the season with WestMAC coming away with a total of 15 wins from 23 games in the TAS Competition, and 1 win from 6 in the Shield Competition. A summary of all results is below:

• Boys Basketball: 2/6 wins in TAS Competition, 1/2 wins in TAS Shield
• Boys Football 3/5 wins in TAS
• Girls Touch: 6/6 wins in TAS, 0/3 in Shield
• Girls Volleyball 4/6 in TAS, 0/1 in Shield

Junior TAS Sport begins on Saturday 26 July with all fixtures being played at WestMAC between 7.30am and 11.30am. All ovals and courts will be in full action with our 7-12 students partaking in Girls Touch Football and Volleyball, as well as Boys Football and Basketball. Our Junior TAS teams are also raring to go as they gear up for another fun and successful Football and Basketball season.

To our teams representing WestMAC across all sports, we wish you the best of luck. May you excel in your endeavours and showcase the true essence of the WestMAC Way. Like Pink Round last term, we encourage students and parents to show their support and cheer on our student-athletes as they take to the fields and courts. Stick around, form tunnels and watch our Eagles do battle. Your encouragement and enthusiasm make a significant difference and fosters a sense of pride in our WestMAC community.

Information regarding the draw, times and playing venues are available on the College App and NEST.

Training

A reminder to all students and parents/caregivers that Junior TAS and TAS sport and training is a full-term commitment. To be eligible for extracurricular recognition, students must attend 80% of training and games. If a student cannot make a training session or game, they are to let the coaches and coordinators know in advance where possible. This allows teams to not be caught out and have enough players for their game.

If students have a clash with other extracurricular activities, they should complete a clash form. A clash form is available on NEST.

Singapore Touch and Rugby Tour

Over the holiday period, WestMAC took 28 students to Singapore for a Rugby 7s and Touch Football tour. Over seven days, our touring group embraced every opportunity with resilience, kindness, and energy. From exploring Singapore’s vibrant culture and historical landmarks to navigating packed MRT stations and playing sport in sweltering heat, the students did WestMAC proud.

Tour Highlights Included:

• Competing and training in challenging heat and humidity
• Exploring iconic attractions such as Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios, Marina Bay Observation Deck and Fort Siloso
• Visiting cultural hubs like Little India and the Hawker Centre
• Enjoying downtime at Palawan Beach, the 70m resort pool, and cheering the Maroons to a State of Origin win
• Participating in the Palate Sensations Cooking Challenge and night cable car to Mt Faber
• The fun of spontaneous street dancing, long walks through the city, and the celebratory formal dinner

Just as memorable were the personal moments—the compassion students showed toward one another, their impressive organisation and independence with belongings and travel documents, their good humour through delays and tiredness, and the lasting friendships and memories they created along the way.

This tour was not just about sport—it was about growth, perspective, and stepping out of comfort zones. The pride, respect, and spirit shown by our students made it a truly unforgettable journey and we are looking forward to creating further sports touring experiences in the future.
