JERSEY UPDATE
Moving forward students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey has been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur a fee to replace this jersey.
Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.
Interschool Sport
Year 3 were our last cohort to participate in European Handball. Check out the images below to see how much fun they had.
Last term the Year 4 Interschool Shark Tag was cancelled due to the rain. We have received information that the new date for the gala day is Wednesday 15th October during Term 4. This new date has been reflected in the COMPASS event. We are pleased our students will still have the opportunity to participate in this gala day.
Representative Sport
MacKillop Athletics Trial
On Wednesday 23rd September our school had 5 students proudly representing St Patrick's and Sydney Catholic Schools at the MacKillop Athletics Trials. We are extremely proud of all of you for reaching this elite level. A big congratulations to Lana B and Noah VD who both made it into the Mackillop Team. Good luck at the next carnival!
Swimming Carnival 2025
The Annual School Swimming Carnival for Years 3-6 will be held on Thursday 6th November 2025 at Engadine Swimming Pool. The carnival is a fun, school event but also acts as a trial for the Conference 3 Swimming event which will be held on Monday 9th February 2026. In the past all of Year 2 attended the swimming carnival but for 2025 only advanced Year 2 swimmers are invited. Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students will be participating in a ‘’splash’’ water activities day at school on the same day as the 3-6 swimming carnival. Please see the attached note and provide consent via COMPASS. Nominations for the timed races will close on the 3rd October.
Swimming Program
This week our students headed over to Sutherland Leisure Centre to partake in their swimming program. Students were keen to get splashing with their class mates and enjoy learning and practising this life skill.
Sutherland Hockey Gala Day Years 3-6
Our students were very successful at the recent Sutherland Hockey Gala Day and an event we hope to return to. Our teams gave it their all on the day and we were successful with our Senior Blue team making it to the final. This team placed 2nd overall! If any of our students were keen to continue playing as part of a regular competition, please find details in the below flyer.
