Sydney FC Visit

On Tuesday 18th November, the St Francis Xavier community had the privilege of hosting a player and representative from Sydney Football Club. The students were able to ask questions to Riley Tanner, a current Sydney FC women’s player, about her experience at the club, her juggling score and her feelings about their rivals, Western Sydney Wanderers! Some lucky students were able to showcase their juggling skills and received a prize for their efforts. 

It was wonderful to see our students display such enthusiasm and support for our local A-League club by wearing Sydney FC merchandise, which some students were fortunate enough to have signed. We look forward to many future events with Sydney FC. 

CSNSW Sport Aquathlon

Nominations for the CSNSW Sport Aquathlon have now closed. It is great to see a number of students nominated to compete at this event on Wednesday 26th November. We wish all the students attending the best of luck!

Thank you for your continued support of sport,
