Sports Day with neighbouring Catholic Primary Schools (Netball and Football)

We’re excited to announce that our students will be participating in this year’s Mini Sports Competition! We will be entering two netball teams and two football teams for what promises to be a fun and active day.

The event will be held at the Benalla Showgrounds on Wednesday, 28 May, hosted by FCJ College. Students should arrive by 9:45am for a 10:00am start. The competition will run in a round-robin format, giving all teams plenty of opportunity to participate and enjoy the day.

A BBQ will be available throughout the day for students.

Depending on the number of students who nominate, team selection trials may be held. Any further details regarding trials will be communicated to students and families.

We look forward to a great day of sport, teamwork, and school spirit!
