Trimester 3 TAS Sport

Following a strong showing against St Columban’s, WestMAC teams enjoyed a well-earned bye round last weekend. This provided a valuable chance for our players to rest, recover, and prepare for the remainder of the season.

This Saturday, WestMAC travels to St John’s for Derby Round. A strong performance here will be important for ladder positions ahead of our upcoming run of home games, beginning with Ormiston on Saturday 16 August.

Players are reminded to arrive at the venue on time, fully prepared, and ready to play. All fixtures and results can be found on Clipboard and instructions on how to find and read the draw can be found

Junior TAS Sport – Basketball and Football

This weekend we move into Round 3 after two successful rounds of competition. It has been fantastic to see our ovals and courts buzzing with excited players and dedicated coaches, with all teams showing great improvement each week.

Our players continue to represent the College with pride, playing each game the WestMAC Way—showing respect, teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship.

With a number of College events on the horizon, families are reminded to check the College App and Nest regularly for any updates to training schedules. All fixtures can be found on Clipboard.

TAS and Junior TAS Team Photos – Saturday 16 August

Say cheers! TAS and Junior TAS Team Photos will take place for all teams who are playing at home on Saturday 16 August. Teams who are playing away on this weekend, will be taken on the 23 August. A photo schedule is available on the College App.

Players are to meet on the Main Oval-side of the Lostroh Centre 5 minutes prior to the scheduled photo time. Players who are late, in incorrect uniform or are away, will be marked as absent for their team photo.

Assistance at P&F BBQ – Saturday 16 August

Sport, in conjunction with the wonderful P&F, will be running the BBQ on Saturday 16 August. Profits made from the BBQ will go back to the Sports Program. With this in mind, we are calling for helpers to assist with the BBQ between 6:30am and 12:30pm. Duties include setting up, cooking, serving and packing stock/equipment away at the end of the day. If you are able to lend a hand for a short period of time, please register here. A big thank you to the P&F and volunteers for keeping our students, coaches, opposition and supporters well fed!

TAS and Junior TAS Wet Weather Notifications

Parents and students are reminded that all wet weather notifications are posted on the College App as soon as information becomes available. While we aim to provide as much notice as possible, the host school is responsible for notifying the away team, and there may be occasions where cancellations are made late due to unforeseen circumstances.

College staff will always endeavour to communicate updates promptly. If we believe families may already be travelling to a venue, we will also send a text message to ensure the information reaches you quickly. Please ensure you have the College App and set-up to receive notifications.
