SPORT DATES TERM 3

JERSEY UPDATE

Moving forward students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey has been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur a fee to replace this jersey.

Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.

Interschool Sport

Last term the Year 4 Interschool Shark Tag was cancelled due to the rain. We have received information that the new date for the gala day is Wednesday 15th October during Term 4. This new date has been reflected in the COMPASS event. We are pleased our students will still have the opportunity to participate in this gala day.

Our Year 5 students participated in the rescheduled Interschool Football on Tue 29th July. All participants got involved and displayed great sportsmanship and teamwork. Our Year 5 students were guided throughout their game time by our volunteer Year 6 St Patrick Referees. Sydney Catholic Schools were extremely pleased with how our Year 6 referees conducted themselves on the day. They displayed great leadership while refereeing both the morning and afternoon sessions for all Catholic Primary Schools in the Sutherland Shire.

SCS Sporting Pathways - Representative

The Representative Pathway Sports will continue into Term 3 2025 with many sports already in the MacKillop Trial stage. This is because the representative sport calendar season with Sydney Catholic Schools runs from Term 4 2024 to Term 3 2025. 

Year 5 and Year 6 students have the opportunity to represent St Patrick’s at trials to progress through the pathway system. The sports they will be able to trial for are varied and many are open to both boys and girls. 

To be considered for selection to represent St Patrick’s students require experience and to be playing the sport as a registered player at a high level of skill outside of school. This should be in the form of a regular, structured rep, Division 1 or equivalent A level competition. Parents had the opportunity to nominate their child via an electronic form last year. This form will be re-sent during Term 3 2025 to gather any new or updated information regarding your child's sport involvement outside of school. Nominations for this sports calendar season have closed as trials have commenced.
