U15 Boys Clyde Rauter Competition

MCSS Runner's Up

These boys were awarded the Runner-Up for the U15 Clyde Rauter competition, narrowly missing out on the top spot to a stronger team on the day. Our students displayed excellent sportsmanship throughout each game and were great ambassadors for our school. Despite the cold and miserable weather and not coming back with the trophy, they all enjoyed playing footy and representing our school. The boys remained proud and know where to focus for future improvement. Our MCSS team could potentially be called up to play in the Country Cup at the regional finals in Cootamundra early August if the top team are unable to attend.

Check out MCSS student Aiden Moody absolutely kicking goals in his future career, supported by our awesome careers team!

Aiden made the ACT Public Schools Facebook Page, read below. 

Melba Copland Secondary School Year 12 student, Aiden Moody, has spent the past 15 months giving back to his former primary school. All while gaining valuable work experience along the way.

Aiden is currently completing his Certificate II ASbA (Australian School-based Apprenticeship) in Sports and Recreation after one of his teachers recommended the program to him.

Now Aiden visits the nearby Miles Franklin Primary School every Tuesday and Thursday to support PE lessons and assist teachers.

Aiden has received nothing but high praise from his former primary schools’ students, staff and principal. In fact, his outstanding work has been recently rewarded with him taking home the Interwork ‘Vibrant Futures Award’ and nomination for the ACT Training Award’s ASbA Person of the Year.

Aiden’s journey won’t stop there though. Read more about Aiden at https://ow.ly/SjjH50RZtFo
