SPORT DATES TERM 2

Representative Trials

This week Xavier had the experience of competing at NSWPSSA Hockey as member of the MacKillop Team. Lila, Rebecca and Noah were all successful in securing a spot on the Sydney Catholic Schools Touch Football Team. They will travel to Wagga to compete in the MacKillop Touch Trials in mid June. Early June we also have Noah competing at NSWPSSA AFL. Harry W still awaits his upcoming Rugby Union trial with recent wet weather re-scheduling. Finally Jordan P, Abby W and Piper L will all run it out at the MacKillop Cross Country Trials in June after their placings from the Sydney Championships progressed them to the next level. We wish all our Athletes the best of luck at their upcoming sport trials. 

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 Term 2

Year 3 were able to enjoy their Football Gala Day last week before Year 5 and 6 commence their second opportunity provided by SCS for their Football Gala Day. The feedback from our teachers has been very positive as the time out of the classroom and out on the sporting field with their students. 

League Tag Trials for Stage 3 Level 1

Congratulations to all nominated stage 3 boys who attended the League Tag trial for representation in the Level 1 team for interschool sport. The skill, determination, and sportsmanship displayed were truly inspiring. No matter the outcome, you should be proud of the effort you put in. We encourage all boys to continue with future trials and keep pushing forward. It is important to display resilience and never stop striving for the things you enjoy. 

Our level 1 girls will trial on Monday 26th May also in the afternoon session. All trialists must wear their full sports uniform and only the nominated students will be trialing. If our teachers haven't made a final decision during this trial time, student will be shortlisted and notified of a potential secondary trial. Miss Devlin has confirmed the trialist list with all stage 3 students.

SCS Sporting Pathways - Representative

The Representative Pathway Sports will continue into Term 2 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.
