NSWCPS & NSWCCC Swimming Championships

Well done to Mary Smith, Harriet Rogers, Charlotte Gould, Rosemary Davies, Harper Greentree, Abigail Snars, Zara Lampe and Stella Craig who attended the NSWCPS & NSWCCC Swimming Championships held at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre at the end of last term.

The girls represented our diocese and school proudly as part of the Junior and Senior relay teams. Mary and Harriet also competed in the 50m freestyle events for the 8 years and 9 years girls heats respectively, while Harper took on the 11 years girls backstroke.

All students thoroughly enjoyed being part of the ACS swimming team and had a fantastic day overall.

CROSS COUNTRY

Students across all year groups approached our annual Cross Country with enthusiasm, giving their best effort and showing great perseverance as they tackled the course last week.

It was especially heartwarming to see the finish line lined with spectators and peers, cheering on our Kindergarten students as they completed their very first Cross Country race.

Congratulations to all of our place winners who received their ribbons, and to our 2026 Cross Country Age Champions:

5 Years – Max Tubner & Evelyn Holmes

8 Years – Chester Bugmann & Mary Smith

9 Years – Fred Lampe & Zoe Wannan

10 Years – Bailey Kay & Pip Gleeson

11 Years – Arlo Swansbra & Stella Craig

12 Years – Weston Burgmann & Zara Lampe

The overall winning House Champion was Joseph!!

Thank you to our organisers, staff, volunteers and families for making the day such a success, and to G Cool Spring Water for keeping everyone hydrated.

ACS TOUCH FOOTBALL TRIALS

Last Friday, Stella Craig and Harper Greentree represented our school at the ACS Touch Football Trials in Inverell. Both girls demonstrated excellent skill, teamwork and tenacity throughout the day, competing strongly against an impressive calibre of players. With approximately 50 girls trialling for just 10 positions, the level of competition was extremely high.

Well done to Stella who was selected to progress to the possibles and probables game but narrowly missed out on selection in the final team. Congratulations to both girls on their positive attitude, sportsmanship and commitment displayed on the day. We are extremely proud of them and the way they represented our school.

Polding Winter Trials

We wish Weston Burgmann, Kormac Garden-Thorn and Gus Collins the best of luck as they travel to Bathurst to attend the Polding Winter Trials this Friday.
