TERM 3 SPORT
REPRESENTATIVE SPORT
School Sport Australia Hockey Championships
Audrey P has returned from Hobart after competing at the School Sports Australia Hockey Championships. Audrey started off the tournament by being named ‘player of the match’ at Game 1. She then backed it up the following day by receiving ‘player of the match’ again against Tasmania. The NSW team had wins against ACT, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia. Their only loss was against a very strong QLD team which put NSW in 2nd place overall, walking away with silver medals for the tournament. Such a huge achievement and experience for Audrey. We must all keep our eyes peeled over the years as we might see Audrey on our screens playing for the Hockeyroos.

Conference 3 Athletics Championships
We are super proud of the 30 students who represented our school at the Conference 3 Athletics Trial on Wednesday 9th August. A long and exhausting day for our students and spectating families but one of worth to see our students shine in the area of track and field. We even have some of our students progressing to the Sydney Trial. As the official results are finalised, we will share our schools achievements and progressions in the next newsletter.

BASKETBALL GALA DAYS
Our stage 3 girls have completed their Basketball Gala Day at Sutherland Basketball Stadium. Mrs Moss was very impressed with how the girls represented our school and the way they interacted with their opponents. We had one of our teams make the Grand Final but unfortunately were defeated. Nonetheless, the girls left the court with smiles on their faces after experiencing a full day of being active while the weather was quite miserable outdoors. A big thank you to our assisting parent managers who made this day possible.
Next up is our Stage 3 Boys who will take to the court this Monday 14th August. Mrs Miller, Miss Dorough and Miss Millis all look forward to it. The draw has been shared via the COMPASS event.
Mrs Col will shortly meet with any Stage 2 girls who have their gala day on Monday 21st August and our Year 3 boys who have their Gala day on Monday 4th September. For any stage 2 families involved in this event, please ensure you have provided consent via COMPASS.
NSWCPS Netball Carnival
The NSWCPS Netball Carnival is fast approaching on Tuesday 22nd August. If you had registered your child for this event you would have received consent/payment details via COMPASS. Please ensure you provide consent to ensure the smooth running of this event. Team managers will be emailed over the next week to confirm availability with assisting us on the day. Our teams do require an umpire so if you have umpired Netball in the past and you are available or know of someone else who is willing to help out on the day please email amanda.col@syd.catholic.edu.au.
