Athletics Carnival

Our annual Athletics carnival was held last Thursday at the Rec. Ground in trying windy conditions! A lot of fun was had by all our students who gave their best and competed with their friends in great spirit. The best dressed teddy competition was fiercely contested with a huge number of entries. Congratulations to Eleanor, Betty, Fallon and Charlie H who were the winners on the day, earning valuable points for their houses. The inaugural Year 6 vs teachers vs parents dress up running relay was held, with the Year 6 kids edging out the parents for the win. Well done kids – although there was some dubious calls on whether the clothes were actually put on!
As always, we couldn’t have held our carnival without the support of our army of parents, grandparents and friends who started, timed, recorded, measured, organised and cheered on our athletes. Thank you for giving your time and effort to ensure the carnival was a success. Our final two events (long jump and high jump) will be held at school on Friday, after which notes will be sent home for those students who have gained selection in our school team to compete at the Northern Region carnival in Goulburn on Friday 16th June.

Archdiocesan Cross Country Carnival

On Friday 19th May 3 students travelled to Stromlo Forest Park in Canberra to represent the Northern Region at the Archdiocesan Cross Country carnival. Well done to Sonny, Archer and Pippa who gave their absolute best on the day. Pippa (6th) will now move on to represent the Archdiocese at the MacKillop Championships in Sydney in a few weeks. Congratulations and good luck!

Sporting Schools Hockey Clinics

The students had the first of 4 hockey skills clinics with Matt from Gecko Sports yesterday thanks to funding through the Sporting Schools program. A reminder that all students K-6 will wear sports uniform on Wednesdays until the end of the term as well as their regular PE/Sports days.
