Te Kura o Tititea Mount Aspiring College (MAC) has celebrated the commitment and achievement of its students in sport this week (Wednesday October 25).

Principal Nicola Jacobsen said the awards reflected the determination and skill of students who train and compete in their chosen sports while also fulfilling their other commitments at school.

More than 600 students participate in around 26 different sports at MAC, and the college attended more than 50 school sporting events this year, she said.

“That’s an amazing effort from everyone involved, including our students, our sports department, our teachers, our students’ families and whānau, and our local community and sponsors.

“It’s incredible to see our students train and achieve such high standards, including at a national and international level.”

Luke Harrold, Phoebe Laker, Lucia Georgalli, and Fin Melville Ives were awarded the top achievement awards in junior and senior sports. The Team Performance of the Year award went to the MAC mixed hockey team, and former MAC student Ryan Young was awarded the Alumni Sport Achievement award.

Students who achieved national or international representation in their chosen sport were recognised, and this year, the college introduced Sports Recognition awards for students who are yet to meet the criteria for a Blues award but who have delivered outstanding performances in one or more sports in a year.

Sport Service Blues were awarded to students across all year levels who have made a significant contribution to sport, and the coach, volunteer and teacher-in-charge awards were also presented.

Sport Performance Blues were awarded to students from Years 7 to 13 who have represented the school and their sport at the highest local level for two years, displaying a commitment to their team or club, and upholding the reputation of the school both on and off the field.

The MAC Values Awards recognised selected students, coaches, team managers, or teachers-in-charge for reflecting the school’s values in the way they conduct themselves.
