Representative Sport
A big congratulations to Noah VD who participated in the NSWPSSA Mackillop AFL team last week. He played multiple games across the carnival and made it all the way to the Grand Final. Unfortunately, the team went down to Riverena. We are so proud of your efforts Noah, congratulations again!
We also had Rebecca and Lila who had a great tournament in Wagga for the McKillop trials representing SCS. Lila was named captain of the team and lead them incredibly well. The coach recognised the high level on great sportsmanship and honesty the girls both displayed. They girls are both on the possible and probable's list which is such a big achievement considering the number of talented athletes trialing. We are so proud of your efforts!
JERSEY UPDATE
Moving forward students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey has been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur a fee to replace this jersey.
Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.

These days are designed to:
- promote social inclusion
- provide students with a sense of connectedness
- build a sense of self
- encourage ‘giving it a go’
- foster a love of the game
The day involves:
- learning more about European Handball & Indoor Golf

- opportunities to network with students and teachers from other schools
- competing in games against other students
Benefits of attending the day include:
- building social wellbeing and friendships

- working as part of a team, collaborating and planning
- increased self-esteem through a sense of achievement

INTERSCHOOL SPORT OVERVIEW
This document has been shared with families of Years 3-6 which contains an overview of all Sydney Catholic Schools Interschool Sport for Stage 2 and 3 throughout 2025.
SCS Sporting Pathways - Representative
The Representative Pathway Sports will continue into Term 2 2025 with many sports already in the MacKillop Trial stage. This is because the representative sport calendar season with Sydney Catholic Schools runs from Term 4 2024 to Term 3 2025.
Year 5 and Year 6 students have the opportunity to represent St Patrick’s at trials to progress through the pathway system. The sports they will be able to trial for are varied and many are open to both boys and girls.
To be considered for selection to represent St Patrick’s students require experience and to be playing the sport as a registered player at a high level of skill outside of school. This should be in the form of a regular, structured rep, Division 1 or equivalent A level competition. Parents had the opportunity to nominate their child via an electronic form last year. This form will be re-sent during Term 3 2025 to gather any new or updated information regarding your child's sport involvement outside of school. Nominations for this sports calendar season have closed as trials have commenced.
