School Sports - What's Happening

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Congratulations to the 24 students Grade 3 to 6 who represented Holy Rosary at the Catholic School's Swimming Carnival. It was a fantastic day with beautiful weather and our students should be very proud of the way they conducted themselves. Unfortunately, we didn't have any students make it through to the next stage. We now look forward to our swimming lessons for Grade 3 to 6 in week 7 of this term. 

CARLTON PLAYERS VISIT

On Tuesday 4th February we welcomed Carlton star players Charlie Curnow, Adam Cerra and Jack Silvagni to Holy Rosary. The Grade 3 - 6 students were lucky enough to participate in Q & A with the players, followed by a kicking challenge. Then the players were kind enough to stick around during play time to sign items, talk to students and have a kick to kick. We thank Jake and the crew at AFL Central Vic for accommodating us, along with the Carlton FC. We wish Carlton all the best for season 2025 and it would be nice to see big Charlie win the Coleman Medal for a 3rd time.
