ACS Cross Country Trials Wrap Up!

Yesterday, 24 of our students traveled to Barraba to compete in the Diocesan Cross Country Trials. Running in warm conditions,  our team performed exceptionally well, with numerous runners placing within the top 10 or 20 in their respective races. Most of our runners improved upon their previous year's times and/or placements. 

Special congratulations to Josie, who achieved 3rd place overall in the 11 Years Girls, and Benji who also came 3rd in the 11 Years Boys. St Patrick's Primary were awarded Small Schools Champions for the third consecutive year! This outstanding accomplishment truly reflected all of our team members hard work and dedication.

As a result of their outstanding performances, both Benji and Josie have qualified to represent Armidale Catholic Schools  at the Polding Cross Country Trials on June 11th at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre. We wish them the very best of luck.

Finally, we extend our sincere gratitude to all the parents and grandparents who ensured their children could participate in these trials. Your support is greatly appreciated.

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 Grace Smith's records at the swimming carnival.
