Fun and Fitness Day
On Friday 2nd September we held our annual Fun and Fitness Day for our K-2 students. The day was led by the students from De La Salle Caringbah. The Physical Activity and Sports Studies (PASS) students did an amazing job assisting our students through a circuit of games and athletic events including high jump and sprint races. A big THANK YOU to all the parents who braved the cool weather and came and assisted the children or supported from the sideline. It was a fun day for our infants students that we look forward to each year.

NSWCPS Netball Gala Day
Last Tuesday, 30th of August, we had 7 teams from Years 4-6 participate at the NSWCPS Netball Gala Day. It was an early start for a big, but very enjoyable and fun day of netball! There was a fantastic showcase of skills, sportsmanship and team spirit. Teams enjoyed cheering each other on and an improv game at lunch time against the teachers!
Congratulations to our 12s Girls Blue team who won their division, going through the day undefeated! A HUGE thank you to all coaches (especially those who had to fill in at the last minute), umpires, student teachers and parents who assisted with scoring, which made for a successful day!
