MacKillop Athletics Carnival
Well done to the 4 students who represented Parramatta Diocese at the MacKillop Athletics Carnival, at the end of term 3. All of the St Margaret Mary’s students didn’t give up and tried their best, competing at this incredibly challenging event. Thank you to the parents, who brought the students to the carnival and supported our team.
Congratulations to the following students who placed at the MacKillop Carnival, who will now represent at the 2024 NSWPSSA Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th October at Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre:
Claire F (year 6) 11 years girls shot put
Jessica L (year 3)100m
Hunter P (year 6) 100m
St Margaret Mary’s Sports Singlets and Shirts
We currently have a lot of singlets/representative shirts not returned. If any student still has one of our representative shirts that was used for the Gala Days/Athletics Carnival or boots/socks that were borrowed, please be returned to Mrs Foley by Friday 1st November.
Team Sport Trials
Parramatta Diocesan Primary students enrolled in Years 5 and 6 in 2025 are invited to complete a nomination to participate in the Parramatta Diocesan Team Sport Trials during Term Four in 2024 and 2025.
It is important to note that these trials are generally for those students that MUST demonstrate an ABOVE AVERAGE ability, HIGH LEVEL OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT, or in particular sports demonstrate REPRESENTATIVE playing experience in their nominated sport. In most sports, students should have experience playing regular competitions outside of school.
Any questions regarding these trials should be directed to myself, through the school office or school email.
