Primary Winter Sports - League, Soccer and Netball
On Friday 1st May 2026, St Philomena's was represented by Wiley Simpson (League), Aston Mulligan (Soccer) and Halle Hollands (Netball) in Diocesan teams for their respective sports. We are so proud of their efforts and qualification for these teams. Special mention to Wiley who progressed to the Possibles and Probables but was unfortunately too injured from the previous game to play.
Congratulations team on your incredible representation of St Philomena's.
Primary Rugby 7's Tournament
Our Years 3-6 students were lucky enough to participate in a NSW Rugby Union run 7 a side competition. Monday 4th May had the students participating in a range of Union skills at school under the guidance of Steph Lennon (NSW Rugby Development Officer). Participating students were then able to transfer these skills to the tournament on Wednesday 6th May. St Philomena's were represented by two Under 10's and two Under 12's teams. Students had an awesome day and represented St Philomena's proudly.
A special thank you to our coaches Chris Hartin, Brad Donald, Toby Makim and Mark Hollahan for giving up their time and giving the students so much time and knowledge. Thank you to all the other volunteers who helped ensure the day could go ahead.
