In December, Parade hosted the first ever Manchester City Football School Cup. It was attended by the other Football schools around Australia; St. Laurence’s in Brisbane, Rostrevor in Adelaide, Waverley and St. Dominics from Sydney, as well as British School Jakarta from Indonesia.

Almost 200 students from Years 7, 8 and 9 took part in more than 60 matches over the weekend. All the games were played at Parade, with visiting students and staff staying at Halls of Residence at La Trobe University. The event was a huge success and is planned to take place every year in a different location, with Brisbane expected to host the next one.
