Representative Sport
NSWPSSA Athletics
Noah, Jordan, & Lana competed at the NSWPSSA Athletics Trial on Wednesday 23rd and 24th October. What an achievement to have three St Patrick's students represent our school and the MacKillop Team at such an elite level.
Noah has finished 4th in the 11 years boys high jump, jumping an amazing 1.50m which is equal to his best jump. Noah only just missed out on progressing to Nationals but is extremely proud of his efforts and achievements. With Noah only just missing out on a countback rule we know Noah will continue to develop in this event in the near future.
Lana finished in 3rd for 200m 11 yrs girls finals for the 100m event finished in 4th. This means Lana has qualified for the School Sport Australia Athletic Championships in December not only for these two events but also for the relay team.
Well done to Jordan who placed 5th in his semi final and placed 11th overall. This makes him the 11th fastest 9 year old in the state!
We are so incredibly proud of you all.
2024/2025 Representative Sport
Term 4 is the start of the 2024/2025 representative sporting calendar for our current Year 4 and Year 5 students. Representative sport trials for Term 4 will occur for Cricket, Basketball, Tennis and AFL. Our school with be hosting the swimming trial as part of our annual swimming carnival. All other sport trials will be conducted from Term 1, 2025.
Congratulations to Xavier who progressed from the Conference 3 Cricket Trials to the Sydney Cricket Trial. The Basketball trials are also happening over this week for Hugh, Zachary, Nixon & Cara. Eva and Savina will then give it their best at the Sydney Tennis Trials. Finally for this term we have Noah & Owen for AFL. Go St Pats!
The details for trials in Rugby League will be released with nominated students before the end of this term. We don't require an in school trial for this sport. Students who nominated for the Football (soccer) trials will be shared a date towards the end of this school term for a school trial date. We had many students nominate for this sport and must hold a trial before the end of this year. The Conference trial for both Rugby League and Football (soccer) occur very early in Term 1, 2025.
Any students who were nominated for the Touch Football trials will be shared details at the start of Term 1, 2025. The Conference trial is mid-term 1 and therefore enough time to host an in school trial next year.
Swimming Carnival
Our Annual School Swimming Carnival for Years 2-6 was held this week and we were blessed with ideal weather for this day. This carnival is a fun, school event but also acts as a trial for the Conference 3 Swimming event.
Thank you to all the parents, students and teachers who worked together to make this event successful. Final results are currently being checked and will be announced in the next newsletter. All qualifying students have received details for the Conference 3 Swimming Trial held in February next year.
Conference 3 Sport Awards
Congratulations to Lana from Year 5 who received an invitation from SCS to attend the 2024 Conference 3 Sports Awards at Aquinas Catholic College. We look forward to sharing some photos from this event as Lana is recognised for representing NSWPSSA at the School Sport Australia Athletic Championships.
