Rugby Clinics
Students in Years 2-6 have been paticipating in Rugby Clinics over the last 4 weeks, and will continue for one more Friday in Week 7. The clinics have held each Friday and class groups will participated in 4 sessions. We have a rugby development officer leading these sessions. The students will gain a variety of skills related to the game of Rugby.
Soccer/Netball Gala Day
St Mary's students have been offered the chanc to attend a Gala Day for students in the Diocese (Northern Cluster) to come together and play against each other, representing their Schools in Inverell on Friday, September 18th . These are not trials for further representation, they are simply a fun day for Students to enjoy a day of Netball or Soccer.
A Compass request went out over the last few weeks as an expression of interest and only students who responded on this will be invited to the Gala Day.
Netball: will be run in two divisions and can be mixed or straight teams but everyone will be playing each other (only 10 in a team - no modified rules).
Soccer: will be run in two divisions and can be mixed or straight teams but everyone will be playing each other (9 a side on the field (Grades 5 & 6) - only 12 in a team and 7 a side on the field (Grades 3 & 4) only 10 in a team. Children must have shin guards and bring our own referees.
O'Connor Fitness Clinics
Students from O'Connor in Year 11 conducted fitness and games clinics with Year 5 students this week.
