It is time to make your health a priority. What can you do to help you and your loved ones?
The Sport program at Marcellin prides itself on creating an environment that focuses on sportsmanship whilst developing physically, mentally and social skills of all our boys. This weekend all 1st teams will look to take the next step and make an impact on all males within our community. Sport can be a fantastic vehicle to educate the broader community and this weekend we aim to highlight the importance on Men’s Health, an issue that the Health and Physical Education department have promoted for many years.
All boys representing Marcellin in Cross Country, 1st Hockey, 1st Football, 1st Rugby and 1st Soccer will wear light blue socks to create a talking point for all players, officials and spectators. The aim is for males to take more care in their everyday health by making simple changes with their behaviour. We want boys to educate males in their life to:
Strive for the highest within the sport program
It has been great following our boys achieve amazing success within their chosen fields.
