POLDING WINTER TRIALS

On the previous Friday, Grace F, Jessica, and Angus proudly represented St Patrick’s Primary and the Armidale Diocese in the Girl's and Boy's Hockey categories during the Polding Winter Trials in Tamworth. They competed against the top hockey players from various dioceses in the northern region of NSW, engaging in multiple matches against five other dioceses with the aim of securing a spot to represent Polding at the NSWPSSA Hockey Carnival. Regrettably, Grace F and Angus were unable to secure a spot due to the tough competition they faced.

Jessica has been chosen to represent Polding at the NSWPSSA Hockey Carnival in Newcastle, starting Tuesday, May 28th. We extend our congratulations to her and wish her the utmost success as she competes against the top junior female hockey players from various educational sectors throughout New South Wales.

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook

St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook and it has been updated after the school swimming carnival held recently. This book is designed to give all members associated with our school a clearer understanding of when our school conducts our various sporting carnivals, the processes/qualifying times involved for students who want to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events as well as an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child may want to undertake in their respective sports.
