2025 School Swimming Carnival
As previously mentioned in the newsletter, I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the organisation of our school swimming carnival last Friday. Your efforts are deeply valued and appreciated. I would also like to extend a special thank you to the parents who generously shared their photos from the event. Below, you will find a gallery capturing some of the day’s most memorable moments.
Diocesan Swimming Carnival
Grace S, Katie, Grace F, Tom, Florence, Josie, Nina, Shaun, Airlee, Harry F, Oscar and Will have successfully qualified to represent our school at the Diocesan Swimming Carnival on Friday, 28th February in Gunnedah. Congratulations to all of them on this achievement, and we wish them the best of luck!
If they haven’t already done so, we kindly ask all selected students to submit their nomination/permission notes as soon as possible, as nominations to the convenor have now closed.
Diocesan Winter Trials
Students in Years 5 and 6 who participate in competitive hockey, football, netball, or rugby league and wish to be considered for the Diocesan team in any of these sports are advised to put forward their names for the Diocesan Winter Trials. These trials will be held at Armidale on Friday 7th March for football. The expression of interest form was sent home to the families of interested students last week.

St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook
St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook and it has been updated after the school swimming carnival held recently. This book is designed to give all members associated with our school a clearer understanding of when our school conducts our various sporting carnivals, the processes/qualifying times involved for students who want to represent our school at Diocesan sporting events as well as an explanation of the representative sporting pathways your child may want to undertake in their respective sports.
Attached below is the revised version of this manual, which now contains the latest information on Grace Smith's records at the swimming carnival.
