SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY 

What a spectacular day we had yesterday at our School Cross Country!

First and foremost, a massive congratulations to all of the students who participated. Whether you sprinted to the finish line, jogged with friends, or cheered your heart out from the sidelines, every single one of you should be incredibly proud of your efforts. It was absolutely wonderful to see so much determination, and fantastic sportsmanship on display across all the age groups. 

Of course, big events like this simply don’t happen without a massive team effort behind the scenes.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated staff for organising the courses, marshalling, and keeping everything running so smoothly.

We also want to send our deepest gratitude to our wonderful parents and our hardworking P&F committee. Thank you to everyone who came down to cheer on the kids, and an extra special shout-out to those who organised and ran the fantastic BBQ lunch! The sausages and steak were an absolute hit and it was the perfect way to refuel our hungry athletes (and spectators) after a big run.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making yesterday such a memorable, fun, and successful day for our entire school community.

School Netball Clinics

It was fantastic to see all of our classes participating in their second netball clinic today! The students had a wonderful time getting active, practicing their passing and shooting skills, and working together as a team.

Please note that the netball action continues next week, with all classes participating in their next clinics on Monday and Tuesday.

Cn you please ensure your child comes to school wearing their sports uniform on both Monday and Tuesday next week, instead of their regular summer uniform.

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.
