Mullee of the Week This week we are recognising the efforts of Rebecca Stevenson and Wesley Mullan-Marriott. These two students are regular attenders of Ag Club and constantly display a positive attitude toward their peers as well as their teachers, Mrs Jessep and Mrs Holmes. Rebecca and Wesley

always go above and beyond to help during activities and constantly display a cheerful approach to learning at the Ag farm. These two students should be congratulated on their responsible behaviour and be proud of their commitment to the club.

Hip Hop Dance Workshop On the 17th May junior Dance students had the opportunity to participate in a Hip Hop workshop with dancer and choreographer Shyamla Eswaran. The students had just one hour to learn a 3.30 minute routine and they explored movement from the Electric Slide to the Robot and the Whip/Nae Nae. The students worked extremely hard and there was a buzz of excitement in the air when it was time to perform the routine from start to finish. Well done to all involved.

National Merino Challenge On Saturday 14th May, a group of seven Year 12 students travelled to Sydney Olympic Park to compete in the National Merino Challenge. This competition is run nationally each year and aims to build industry based skills in secondary and tertiary students. Our Year 12 students were competing against ten secondary schools from across Australia. Mulwaree High students undertook a range of activities as part of the competition including wool classing, visual selection of ewes and rams, nutrition budgeting and condition scoring. The two day event also allowed our students to meet tertiary students studying Agriculture at TAFE and university levels, as well as network with industry professionals from companies such as Landmark, Elders, Australian Wool Network and Australian Wool Innovation. Students were also treated to an industry dinner, held by AWI, which allowed them to ask lots of questions about careers in the Agriculture industry. Our students conducted themselves in an extremely professional manner and thoroughly enjoyed their time in Sydney over the two days. Mulwaree High School would like to personally thank Goulburn Landmark for assisting in the donation of sponsorship money to help cover student entry fees into the competition. Goulburn Landmark are fantastic supporters of the Mulwaree High School Agriculture farm, for which we are extremely grateful. Congratulations to all of the Year 12 students involved in the challenge.

Club of the Week - Harriers “I am in Year 7 and started Harriers in the first term. I enjoy going to Harriers because it is lots of fun. I have made new friends and going to Harriers has helped me get fit and stay fit, which has been good for my activities inside and outside of school. I love the sport challenges that we face at Harriers. They are set by Mr Armstrong, who pushes us while making it fun also.” Cody McCallum “Harriers is run on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 3.15 - 4.30. It focuses on improving physical fitness, things like abs, running and strength. It’s run by Mr Armstrong and is designed for all fitness levels. I really enjoy it and I strongly recommend it. So if you are interested, just turn up to the Hall after school with your PE uniform. See you there!” Jem Green Harriers is continuing into its 4th year and is still attracting a decent number of people. We meet straight after school every Monday and Thursday for an hour to participate in a range of running, strength and core exercises that are designed to push you individually, while also attempting to add elements of teamwork, comradery, and fun. Everyone is welcome to attend one or both sessions and there is no prerequisite for ability. For more information, you can speak to Mr Armstrong or come along for a look.

Boys Hockey Mulwaree High Open Boys Hockey team travelled to the Goulburn hockey complex to face off against Bega High in the first round of the open knockouts. The boys came away with an unfortunate 3-0 loss, but played exceptionally well considering they had no subs. Old faces including Matt Hindi and Tom Hazelton played like superstars as they came out for their final once a year hockey game. Ollie Anable, a new face to

the MHS team showed excellent skill and teamwork and rising stars including Ryan Dodson, Dylan Gray, Mitchell Chalker and Cody Estall showed their skill and commitment, despite their loss. Well done boys! Report and Photography by Samantha Estall
