Year of Consolidation
and Achievement

Our
vision at Moreton
Bay College is to
provide a well resourced
and nurturing environment
based on Christian
Principles that will
assist our students
to strive for and
achieve their own
level of Individual
Excellence in their
Academic, Cultural
and Sporting pursuits.
|
2003
has been an
exciting and
challenging
year for MBC
Gymnastics;
certainly
a year of
continued
growth, achievement
and consolidation.
This
year marks
our third
year of operation
as a department
at MBC and
the 2nd full
year of operation
of the MBC
“Centre of
Excellence”
in Gymnastics.
|
This
innovation in sport
is a first for the
Independent and Public
School system in Queensland
and is the “benchmark”
for a school-based
“Centre of Excellence
in Sport” as it
provides the complete
“In-School” development
of the Academic, Pastoral
and Sporting needs
for our students.
Objectives
of MBC Centre of Excellence
1)
Complement
the College’s objective
of providing quality-sporting
programs and to encourage
students to achieve
their own level of
personal excellence
within the College
environment.
2)
Provide for
the complete “In-School”
development of MBC
students in their
chosen sporting field
of Artistic Gymnastics.
3)
Ensure that
the College can provide
for its own students
and prospective students
a comprehensive Sporting/Gymnastic
experience from the
Recreation/Participatory
level to the Elite
Level.
4)
Raise the Public
perception and profile
of MBC as “The College”
to attend for a balanced
co-operative development
of Academic and Gymnastic
excellence.
5)
To establish
MBC as the “benchmark”
for Queensland Independent
Schools in the provision
of a “Centre of Excellence”
in Sport.
