Sports News

I am pleased to share the latest sporting news and highlights with our school community.
School Athletics Carnival
Our School Athletics Carnival is fast approaching. Due to feedback from staff and parents, we have decided to have separate athletics carnivals this year. This will increase participation, engagement and provide tailored organisation beneficial to the activities planned.
The Primary carnival (Years 3-6) will be held on Friday 15 May and the Infants carnival (Kindergarten to Year 2) will be held on Friday 22 May. Both carnivals will be held at Holroyd Sportsground.
Team Sport Trials
We would like to wish Jonathan H, George A and Julie D the very best of luck as they attend the Touch Football trials on April 24. This is an excellent opportunity for these students to demonstrate their skills in touch football.
Congratulations to Charbel A, Jacob H, Oliver K, Sebastian L, Eva E,
Naarah K and Jessica L who will attend the soccer trials on April 28 (girls) or April 29 (boys). This is a fantastic opportunity for them to display their expertise in soccer.
We are very proud of all these students achievements in gaining a place at the trials and are confident they will represent our school with enthusiasm and a strong sense of teamwork. We wish them all the best and look forward to hearing how they perform.
St Margaret Mary’s School Cross Country Carnival
On Friday, 27th March (week 9) we will hold our cross country at school for students in years 3 - 6. The following table explains the qualifying time for each age group:
