NSW PSSA Girls Hockey Carnival

A huge congratulations to Josie and the entire Polding Team for their exceptional efforts at the NSWPSSA Hockey Carnival in Bathurst this week. Despite facing very testing conditions, they competed brilliantly against the best young female hockey talent in New South Wales. We have heard that Josie was particularly impressive, standing out among a field of incredibly skilled players resulting in her being selected to represent NSW at the national hockey championships in Newcastle later this year. Well done, Josie! 

We hope you get some well-deserved rest and recover quickly ahead of the Armidale Catholic Schools Cross Country Trials in Barraba tomorrow.

We would like to wish the very best of luck to the 26 students who will be representing St Patrick's Primary at the Armidale Catholic Schools Cross Country Trials tomorrow!

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook

St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook and it has been updated after the school swimming carnival held recently. This book is designed to give all members associated with our school a clearer understanding of when our school conducts our various sporting carnivals, the processes/qualifying times involved for students who want to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events as well as an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child may want to undertake in their respective sports.
