City2Surf – Two Years in a Row!
For the second year in a row, Harvey completed the 14km City2Surf from Sydney to Bondi Beach!
At not quite eight years old, it was a big challenge. There were plenty of hills and some very tired legs along the way, but Harvey kept going and was thrilled to cross the finish line and collect his medal again. He is already talking about coming back for number three next year! Maybe we’ll see a few more Holy Family runners joining him in 2027!
Basketball Milestone for Lauryn
Lauryn W performed strongly as the youngest athlete at this week’s Basketball NSW Under 13 Talent Athlete Program (TAP) and will progress to the September State High Performance trial. This is a milestone in her basketball development and an important step towards her long-term goal of representing NSW basketball. Congratulations Lauryn, we look forward to following your progress.
