MARYMOUNT MAKOS SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL

The Mako Shark is the mascot for the Marymount College Rugby League program.

It was chosen due to Marymount College’s association with the ocean, as well as the Mako being the sleekest and fastest shark in the sea (and one of the top five man-eaters). Makos have no known predators and show no signs of weakness.

Marymount College has a proud history as a competitive Rugby League school. The Rugby League Program at Marymount begins in Marymount Primary School and continues in Years 7-12 where the boys play against Gold Coast Independent Colleges on a Thursday afternoon in Term 3. In 2019 The Makos won three of the five premierships on offer.

Marymount Year 7/8, Year 9/10 and Open Teams participate in the Cup competitions on Wednesday nights in Term 2. Marymount were the open age Titans Cup Premiers in 2007, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019. A hotly contested 1st XIII is selected to participate in the Independent Secondary Schools Rugby League Competition (Confraternity Shield), which is the largest schoolboy Rugby League carnival in with over 46 Catholic and Independent Colleges from around Queensland and beyond. During Term 3 the 1st XIII participate in the state-wide GIO Trophy competition.

In 2019 The Makos finished a very competitive third at the – the Makos best ever result. Our team Captain, Charlie Murray, was named Player of the Carnival and along with Bede Creedy and Josiah Glogoski, was named in the QISSRL Merit Side. Back in 2017, Marymount College very proudly won the NRL Referees’ Fair Play Award after a highly competitive tournament where The Makos’ level of respect for all others at the carnival was rewarded.

2019 saw the introduction of a girls’ team in the Karyn Murphy Cup. We will continue to build our female program on the back of their great success this year where they finished 3rd.

With the support of the and our other sponsors, we look forward to continually improving our performance in all areas. The Marymount Makos have developed an excellent spirit, are dedicated to performing to the best of their ability and pride themselves on their discipline on and off the field.

Facilities

A full gymnasium, including a core, cardio and video analysis room is used by the Marymount Rugby League program, as well as our four full-sized rugby league fields. Additionally, undercover training areas allow for training regardless of weather conditions. These, together with expert coaching, helps improve the boys’ Rugby League and general sporting ability.

Goals

Education is the primary focus. All players must perform well in classes, both academically and attitudinally, to remain in the Rugby League Program. We aim to improve the following qualities in each of our boys and girls:

• Discipline on and off the playing field • Character development of all program members in line with the College Mission Statement • Respect for all teachers and officials, fellow students and team mates, opposition players and spectators • Resilience when decisions do not go the player’s way, in all facets of life • Determination for all players do their best at all times • A team mentality where the efforts of all members are valued • Commitment to, and Sacrifice for, the Marymount Rugby League Program – The Makos

5/08/2019 5 SPONSOR PROFILE

Marymount Rugby League sponsors traditionally have a relationship with the College as Educational organisations or institutions. This impresses upon all of our girls and boys the importance of a life-long devotion to learning. We are most proud when we see our students move into an apprenticeship/traineeship or on to University upon graduation.

Other sponsors are businesses who have links through a family association whereby they have children attending the College but not necessarily playing Rugby League. These businesses support our goals in ensuring that our young men and women have an enriched education resulting in them being of good character further into their life’s journey.

We wish to recognise those sponsors who have provided support recently: MTG Contracting, Aussie Burleigh Heads, South East Services, TAFE Queensland (Gold Coast), Amazing Education and Training, Zone Planning – Burleigh, Prestige Services Training and PDM Surveys.

We are not a rugby league school. Rather we are an excellent school where highly competitive rugby league is coached and played.
