• To ' seize the day ' and / or capture a certain moment in time .
• To put aside all differences , all fears , all worries , and just go for it .
• To make the most out of that part of time .
' Capture the Moment ' more often , or you will miss out on life and never truly be happy .
St Margaret ’ s College sport offers a magnitude of opportunities at all year levels and for all abilities .
We encourage all girls to ask why they play sport and to consider what they want from sport at SMC . Do they want to participate with their friends in a team environment ? Do they want to pursue sport to the highest level ?
At the heart of it all , is learning . We encourage our girls to take ownership of their learning with a growth mindset . Effort is the key to success . We need to embrace our mistakes and confront our shortcomings .
Athletes need to consider whether they are prepared to strive towards reaching their goals . They must make a conscious decision about how determined and dedicated they are , how hard they are willing to work and what help they need . They must decide what success means to them and remember that this is different for each individual .
We encourage our students to :
• Answer these questions for themselves . Whatever the answers – and there is no right or wrong – they should seize the day and make the most of what there is on offer .
• Be inspired by the staff who all so willingly give their time , knowledge and enthusiasm to ensure everyone has the best experience possible .
• Make lots and lots of friends , but only let a select few influence your decisions .
• Ask questions , train hard and have fun .
