Welcome Back!

Welcome back! Term 4 is off to a flying start, and we’re thrilled to see our St Mary’s Touch Football teams hitting the ground running at the QLD All Schools competition on the Gold Coast. A massive shoutout to our Junior Boys and Senior Girls teams competing from Wednesday through Sunday—go get 'em!

A massive thank you to our dedicated coaching crew: Ms Powell, Mr Cahill, Ms Lo Grande, and Ms Glenwright. Your support and leadership make all the difference. Best of luck to our students—play hard, play fair, and make the College proud!

NQ All Schools Touch Football

Congratulations to our two St Mary’s Touch Football teams that competed at the NQ All Schools Touch Football carnival in Townsville last term. Both teams played with skill and determination, with our boys' team making it to the grand final against Ignatius Park, narrowly losing in a hard-fought match.

A big thank you to Ms Powell, Mr Cahill, Ms Lo Grande and Ms Glenwright for your coaching and support in the lead-up to and throughout the event.

Term 4 Sports Program Highlights

This term, we’re mixing things up with a fresh lineup of sports activities to keep everyone moving and motivated. Please take a moment to review the weekly schedule so you know what’s on and can come prepared—especially for swimming sessions!
