ACS RUGBY UNION GALA TRIALS

Congratulations to Digby and Tom for representing St Patrick's at the Diocesan Rugby Union Trials/Gala Day held last Friday in Tamworth.

The boys played as part of a combined team (the Pirates), joining students from Narrabri, Walgett, Guyra and Manilla They performed admirably against tough competition throughout the day, and won most of their games.

Even though they didn't make the Diocesan Rugby Team, Digby and Tom,  should be proud of their efforts and participation on the day.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS CARNIVAL-Tuesday 17th June

Our athletics carnival (Tuesday 17th June) at Walcha Central. All students need to be dropped off directly to the oval at Walcha Central School in time for a 9.00 am start. Students who normally travel to school by bus will be delivered to and collected from Walcha Central  School by Oxley Explorer. One of our teachers will be supervising students in both the morning and afternoon. Students who are on pickups need to be collected from the carnival. We will NOT be going back to St Pat's (Information has been sent out through the COMPASS Portal  providing details.) 

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

In the event of inclement weather, a Compass notification will be posted at 7.00 am. If the weather is such that the carnival cannot go ahead on that day, students will be required to come to school as they would any other day. An alternate date for the carnival will then be arranged.

To guarantee the success of our carnival, we are in need of volunteers. Also the P&F kindly request assistance from any volunteers who can help with the operation of the barbecue and the stall. 

If you can assist in any way, even if it is only for an hour, please let the school know.

The high jump event is scheduled to take place prior to the athletics carnival. High jump event will be on Friday, 13th June from 10.15am.

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.
