Polding Athletics Carnival-Friday 13th October

Even though this event will be taking place in just over a month, We wish Annie, Grace S, Lachie and Jessica all of the best as they will be representing the Armidale Diocese in their respective events at the Polding Athletics Carnival on Friday 13th October at Sydney! Good luck!

Tennis For Sport

Our next tennis session will be on Friday 8th September. A big thank you goes out to Mrs Emma Wauch who will be leading the session.

Diocesan Football/Netball and Small Schools Gala Day

As mentioned previously, St Patrick's will be entering two teams in both football and netball at the Sports Gala Day that is going to be held at Tamworth on Friday 15th September. I have been informed that it has been a number of years since St Patrick's has participated in a gala day like this and there are a number of excited Years 3-6 students who have been practising their football and netball skills in designated physical education lessons as well as during recess and lunch time. Our team squads were announced earlier this week.

The school has already organised a bus for all students to travel to and from Tamworth and more information, including costing and permission was sent home via the Compass earlier this week.

Weekend Sports Update

I know at the moment a number of our students have already or will be playing their last game/carnival or beginning the finals campaign of their respective sports this upcoming weekend. The school would love to hear how our students went! If any of our students would like to give a written match report of their game to be published in the sporting section of the newsletter, please let Mr Hyatt know.

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook

St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook. 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.
