Winter School Sport

Term two means interschool sport on Friday afternoons against other primary schools in the local area. We will be fielding a football or AFL 9’s side and two netball teams – one of grade 6 girls and one of grade 4/5.

There have been a few changes to the roster and we have ended up with a 6 team competition this year. Parents are definitely welcome to come and cheer on their children and the team. 

All AFL players will be wearing helmets and are encouraged to wear a mouthguard as tackling and contact are a part of the game. 

Starting times for games may vary but will generally start around the 1.30pm mark.

Our draw is as follows

May 8th v Numurkah at StFrancis/SMOTA

May 15th v Katunga at Nathalia Rec reserve

May 22nd v Strathmerton at Nathalia Rec reserve

June 12th v Cobram PS away (venue to be confirmed)

June 19th v Nathalia PS Nathalia rec reserve

Good luck to everyone and ‘3,2,1 StFrancis!’

HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY 2026

We were blessed with a beautiful day for the annual School House Cross Country event.

It was fantastic to see students dressed in their house colours, they looked amazing.

All the events went particularly well and we then followed up with a house obstacle course before having a lovely bbq lunch.

A big thanks to all the parents who came along to support their children, and to those who assisted as marshals’ as well.

Big thanks also to Kylie and the bbq team for the lovely lunch. 

Banyard (yellow) was going for five wins in a row, however, Keily (red) were very strong and took home the shield this year. Banyard came in second and Walsh in third.

Please see the table of students who came in the top 3 placings in each age group, and  Keily House Captains Taylah Moon and Ryder Vearing.

Congrats to all on a fantastic effort by all.
