Diocesan Athletics Carnival

Tomorrow, we will have 18 students representing our school at the Diocesan Athletics Carnival at Tamworth. We wish them all the very best as they will be competing against over 600 students from all over the diocese.

A full report on how well the students went will be included in the next edition of the school newsletter. 

Taekwondo For Sport

It was evident that all the students thoroughly enjoyed their taekwondo lessons on Wednesday and are eagerly anticipating the next session scheduled for Wednesday, August 16th. A heartfelt thank you is extended to David Jackson, Fit-For-It Taekwondo Academy for his leadership during these sessions. Below are several images showcasing the students as they demonstrate their taekwondo skills.

Diocesan Football/Netball and Small Schools Gala Day

Like last year, St Patrick's will be entering teams in both football and netball as well as in small schools competition at the Sports Gala Day that is going to be held at Tamworth on Thursday 26th September. Hopefully when the playground and drainage works are completed,  Years 3-6 students will begin practising their football and netball skills in designated physical education lessons as well as during recess and lunchtime. Our team squads will be announced shortly.

The school has already organised a bus for all students to travel to and from Tamworth and more information, including costing and permission will be sent home via the Compass soon.

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.
