Mercy Cup
This month, Marian College hosted the annual Mercy Cup Catholic Schools sports exchange, inviting Villa Maria College, John Paul II High School, and Roncalli College.
Teams participated in Hockey, Football, and Netball. It was great to host the Netball here at our sports facility, including five grades across seniors, Year 9 and 10 teams. We were thankful to St Bede's College, who allowed us to use the Marist Park Hockey Turf for Hockey games and their field to host the Football games.
The tournament commenced with a whakatau and welcome liturgy in Te Āria. The Head Sport captains from each school were invited to speak, reflecting on the Sisters of Mercy and the traditions of this tournament. There were some great games and close scores with the Hockey and Football games both being shared grade winners between Marian College and Villa Maria College. The Year 9 Grade Netball and Senior A Netball Grades were both won by Marian College.
A true sense of school spirit could be felt across all the participants, staff, and supporters involved. What a magnificent occasion! Good luck to all teams as they continue on with their sporting seasons and build up for Winter Sport Tournament week next term.
