21 July 2026

Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) is proud to see six past and present students involved in the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which will be held in Scotland between 23 July and 2 August.

MACS schools create a safe and engaging school environment, enabling every learner to discover their passions and flourish – not just academically, but socially, emotionally and physically. Achieving world-class athletic success requires tenacity, dedication and a presence of mind that we are so proud to see our students display beyond the school gates.

Here’s when to watch MACS alumni compete in the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). We have listed qualifier events and finals, noting that final participants are subject to qualifier results.
