NETBALL SCHOOLS CUP

Our school proudly participated in the Netball Schools Cup on Thursday 8th August organised by Netball NSW. We entered two mixed teams from Stage 2 and one mixed team from Stage 3 and played against other schools from Narrabri, Wee Waa, Burren Junction, Coonabarabran and Moree.

All students showcased great talent and teamwork with some teams playing up to seven games in the round robin competition. Everyone is to be commended for giving it their best on the court, trying different positions and encouraging their teammates. The overall experience was invaluable for all students promoting cooperation and school spirit.

Well done to all players and thank you to Mrs Ebonnie Whan, Miss Maddy and Mrs Quirk for coaching the teams on the day.

DIOCESAN ATHLETICS CARNVIAL

Well done to the team of 38 athletes from St Francis Xavier’s who attended the Diocesan Athletics Carnival held in Tamworth last Friday. All students participated with enthusiasm, showcasing their talents in various track and field events. From sprints and relays to long jump and shot put, it was wonderful to see everyone giving their best effort.

Congratulations to Callum O'Neill and Ivy Towner who gained selection in the Armidale Diocesan Team and will go on to compete at the Polding Athletics Championships in Glendale next month.

Todd Woodbridge Cup

Last Friday sixteen students in Stage 2 competed in the Todd Woodbridge Cup held at the Narrabri Tennis Courts. We entered two mixed teams and played against other teams from Narrabri. The students served and returned extremely well with each rally.  

The competition culminated in an exciting final, with both of our teams playing each other!! It was a thrilling match as our players demonstrated skill, sportsmanship, and determination on the court. Both teams should be incredibly proud of their performance. Congratulations to all participants for a match well played and a final to remember!

Thank you to Mr Shane Murphy for facilitating the day, Mrs Craig who attended with the students and our parent volunteers who assisted on the day.
