Polding Cross Country Trials

These four superstars Sam Studte, Anika Boney, Isabel O’Connell and Matilda Lace (absent from the photo) are travelling to Eastern Creek on Monday to participate in the Polding Cross Country Trials to be held on Tuesday. We wish them all the very best.

Gala Day

Gala Day is fast approaching with the bus leaving at 5:45am sharp on Friday 11th June. We are hoping to return to school between 5:00-5:30pm. A message will be sent out via Compass on the estimated time of arrival back at school. It is compulsory for all children to pay for the bus, whether they wish to use this mode of transport. We ask that no electronic devices be brought on the bus, there will be a DVD played to and from Inverell. There will be no food consumed on the bus, this includes lollies.

Trial Athletics Carnival

The St Edward’s School Athletics Trial Day will be held at the Athletics Centre on Wednesday 9th June 2021.

Wonder White Recycling Challenge

Calling all family and friends, we are asking you to collect any bread bags and any bread ties to bring to school for the Wonder White competition. As a school community we are hoping to collect 10 kilograms of the recyclable products which we will, in return, receive sporting equipment and go in the running for school playground equipment. There will be a collection site at each campus. Our school's Mini Vinnies group will be helping Mrs Clarke and Mrs Gippel lead this initiative.

National Primary Games

From the expressions of interest, St Edward’s is entering 3 x Netball teams and an Under 10’s football (soccer) side. Unfortunately we did not have enough students interested in making complete sides for the Under 10’s or Opens Rugby League sides.

IMPORTANT: If you returned an expression of interest note your child has been placed in a team with the number of students for this team meeting nomination requirements. If you withdraw your child the team may not be able to go ahead. Please be mindful of this as the nominations have already been placed and the school has been invoiced for these teams.

The festival will be held in Tamworth and our teams will compete against teams as far north as the Sunshine Coast and South to the ACT. The NPG values sportsmanship and inclusivity being the focus of the weekend. The Macquarie Bank Spirit of the Games Award will be presented to a team who best represents this attitude within each of the sports. Teams are representing St Edward’s and should demonstrate our wonderful sportsmanship and catholic values.
