SPORT LEADERS BREAKFAST
With an early start on the 14 February, Mr Fenton and five students passionate about sport headed across the city to Marian College for the annual Sport Leaders Breakfast. All girl’s schools from all over Victoria part of the Catholic Girls Sports Association of Victoria (CGSAV) were invited to share and hear about the different sporting environments facilitated inside and outside of our schools.
This year’s guest speaker was Steve Moneghetti – a very successful long-distance runner who notably participated in four Olympic Games (1988-2000) and four Commonwealth Games (1986-1998) in which he won gold, silver and bronze. Moneghetti shared an overview of his journey and what it really takes to perform on the highest stage. He conveyed the importance of a strong mindset, work ethic and a dedication to success. A message from the morning that I took with me is that you only achieve peak success through hard work, luck is never the biggest contributor.
The morning concluded with a sport themed Kahoot as a final bonding activity. We are so thankful for the opportunity to have heard from such a key Australian sporting figure who gave us an insight into the mentality which athletes must have at such a high level.
