Ormond Sport 2014 2013 was fantastic, with Ormond placing competitively in all sports, winning premierships and the intercollegiate season over Trinity. Another exciting year has begun.The intercollegiate competition is always competitive and Ormondians are putting the hard yards in early. Training kicked off in week one for cricket, softball and squash, and hopeful sportsmen and sportswomen have begun fitness training. Non-competitive sports are on the rise, from yoga to whole-College dodgeball. Our goal is to improve positive attitudes to fitness through social sports and fitness activities. Good luck to all teams! Vickie Powell (Sci 2) and Pete Redhead (Arts 3) Left: Ormond’s softball team
Clean sweep for rowers For the second time in three years our rowers achieved a clean sweep at the intercollegiate rowing, confidently winning all boat divisions on the day. This was a huge feat, with Ormond taking 11 out of the 12 divisions in three years. It was an honour to have such success in an event that has been running for over 100 years and was the result of strong leadership and hard training from the rowers. The Men’s 1st (Higgins) and Women’s 1st (Margot Foster and Richardson) trophies will be on the Dining Hall’s walls soon. George Marchant (Arts 2)

Friday at 1pm Fridays at 1pm provides a semi-formal environment where Ormond students discuss domestic and international affairs. Topics include the political crisis in Ukraine, the Abbott government’s attempt to repeal the Racial Discrimination Act and the implications of the recent budget. The program is popular with students of all year levels. Many find it a useful way to keep up to date on the news and learn from the expertise of peers who have a range of backgrounds and interests. It is also a lively forum for debate of political and economic ideas. Will Moisis (Arts 4)
