Polding Cricket Trials

Last week, Rex Plevey and Emma Gander travelled to Dubbo as members of the ACS Cricket Team. They showcased their skills and sportsmanship to vie for selection in the Polding Cricket Team. Rex narrowly missed out on selection and Emma impressed the selectors and was successfully named as a member of the Polding Team. Emma will now progress to NSWPSSA Cricket Carnival in February next year.

Emma is pictured below with Caroline Sheehan and Marie Cornish (both life members of Cricket NSW).

2026 Swimming Carnival

The St Xavier's Swimming carnival will be held on Friday 13th February.

Kindergarten students DO NOT attend the Carnival. They attend school as normal.

The ONLY Year 1 and Year 2 students who are permitted to attend the Carnival are those who can competitively swim 25 metres of any one stroke without stopping.

ALL other Year 1 and Year 2 students MUST attend school where lessons will run as normal. The usual drop off and pick up routines will remain for all Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students who are attending school that day, including school buses. 

IMPORTANT- SWIMMING CARNIVAL TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2026

Due to new transport regulations, the school buses are unable to drop students directly to the pool. 

All parents will be required to drop-off and collect your child from the pool. No students are to be dropped to the school.

Nomination forms will be sent out in Week 1. 

We will need lots of parent helpers on the day (you can indicate on the nomination form if you are able to help).
