Sports News

We are off to a flying start with sport so far this year and its only week 6! 

Zone Swimming

Last Wednesday, four students represented StMM's at the Cumberland Zone Swimming Carnival at Mount Druitt Swimming Centre,  it was a hot day, perfect for swimming.  Aria (Year 4) and Anastasia (Year 5)  swam in the junior girls backstroke. It was the first time for these girls at the Zone Carnival and they showed great sportsmanship amongst the other swimmers. Jay (Year 6) and Ryan (Year 6) competed in all the events for their age groups. Both boys were fast, skilled in their strokes and competitive. At the end of the day, Jay was awarded 11 year boy swimming champion and Ryan was awarded senior boy swimming champion. Well done to Jay and Ryan! 

Jay and Ryan will now go on to represent Cumberland Zone at the Diocesan Swimming Carnival on Tuesday, 12th March. Wishing these boys the best of luck.

I would like to acknowledge all the parents who came to the pool to support and cheer on our swimmers. A big thank you also to Mrs Choi, who gave up her time to be our school swimming team manager.

Team Sport Trials

Congratulations to Fetuli (Year 6) who trialled for Rugby League on Tuesday and to Thomas (Year 5) who trialled for Football (Soccer) on Wednesday. Sophia (Year 5) and Emily (Year 5) will also trial in Touch Football at the beginning of April. We can’t wait to hear how all your trials have gone.
