Riding challenges to support Youth Focus and the Ride For Youth

On Saturday morning at Claremont Quarter, a group of Year 12 boys joined MLC students to participate in an awareness morning for the Ride for Youth and Youth Focus. The boys competed in various events and Peter Stulpner (Year 12, Cameron) was awarded a prize as the overall quickest and strongest rider.

The boys conducted themselves magnificently and we thank them for being involved at short notice. Below is a photo of one of the time trials.

Friday service has begun

On Friday afternoon the first Year 10 Friday afternoon service programme took place. The opening day coincided with a number of the messages the boys received in Friday's assembly, not least Reverend Lewis's story of the man who carried a tool box, and Mr Shadgett's message of doing unto others as they would do unto you, and upholding our College's values of Stewardship, Integrity and Service. This year a number of new activities are taking place as well as continuing relationships with partners and organisations which have been going for many years.
