St Patrick's Primary Handball Competition
Excitement has been reaching fever pitch under the COLA over the past two weeks, with the staging of the St Patrick’s Primary Handball Competition. A number of spectators have been lining the courts during recess and lunchtime to cheer on the players as the tournament unfolded.
The competition has brought together a cross-section of the school community, featuring 10 teams and a total of 70 students competing from Kindergarten all the way up to Year 6.
Earlier today, the courts saw some great rallies and strategic plays as the final pool matches were officially completed.
The battle for the leaderboard is far from over, however! Early next term, the tournament will heat up again as we enter the thrilling next stage. Players and fans can look forward to the semi-finals and playoff matches to determine our ultimate handball champions.
Thank you to all the competitors for a fantastic fortnight of play, and best of luck to our finalists next term!

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook
St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook, which has recently been updated following our school swimming carnival. Additionally, the handbook has now been revised to include the new records set by Josie, Lucy, Phoebe and Thibaud at our recent athletics carnival. This book is designed to give all members of our school community a clearer understanding of when our various sporting carnivals are conducted. It also outlines the processes and qualifying times required for students wishing to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events, alongside an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child can undertake in their respective sports.
