Best of Luck to Josie, Katie, and Grace F at the Polding Tennis Trials

We would like to extend our best wishes to Josie, Katie, and Grace F, who will be representing St Patrick’s Primary School and our diocese at the Polding Tennis Trials in Tamworth tomorrow.

This is a fantastic achievement, and we are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication to tennis. We wish them all the best as they compete and showcase their skills at this event. We know they will represent our school and the Armidale Diocese with great spirit and sportspersonship.

Good luck, Josie, Katie, and Grace – we are cheering you on!

A note has already been sent home via Compass outlining the procedures, and details, calling for parent helpers as well as nominations for various events that will be held at our swimming carnival. Kindly ensure that you complete the survey regarding your child's nominations as soon as possible. 

I have been approached by several students who are inquiring about the qualifying times required to be considered for our team participating in the Armidale Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival on Friday, 28th February in Gunnedah.

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook

St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook and it has been updated after the school swimming carnival held recently. This book is designed to give all members associated with our school a clearer understanding of when our school conducts our various sporting carnivals, the processes/qualifying times involved for students who want to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events as well as an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child may want to undertake in their respective sports.

Attached below is the revised version of this manual, which now contains the latest information on Jessica's and Josie's records at the athletics carnival.
