Olympic Fever!

Today the 3/4 Community were lucky enough to visit the Melbourne Cricket Ground! There we had a private meet and greet with Olympian Jayne Robinson. Having competed in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics, Jayne was able to provide many great insights into the life and schedule of Olympic Athletes.

We also have the opportunity to tour the M.C.G. Sporting Museum and explore the inner workings of the M.C.G. itself! Students were fascinated with the range of different facilities the M.C.G. provides, such as the change rooms, commentary boxes and the infamous Long Room!

At the sporting museum, viewing memorabilia such as Ian Thorpe's big shoe size and the Olympic Wall of Fame.

What was the most memorable part of the experience?
