Diocesan Athletics Carnival
Tomorrow, we will have 26 students representing our school at the Diocesan Athletics Carnival at Tamworth. We wish them all the very best as they will be competing against over 600 students from all over the diocese.
A full report on how well the students went will be included in the next edition of the school newsletter.
Tennis For Sport
From what I have been told, all of the students had a great time participating in their tennis lessons last Friday and are eagerly looking forward to the next session that will be on Friday 25th August. A big thank you goes out to Mrs Emma Wauch who led the sessions. Below are some images of the students demonstrating their tennis skills.
Diocesan Football/Netball and Small Schools Gala Day
As mentioned in the last edition of the newsletter, St Patrick's will be entering teams in both football and netball as well as in small schools competition at the Sports Gala Day that is going to be held at Tamworth on Friday 15th September. I have been informed that it has been a number of years since St Patrick's has participated in a gala day like this and there are a number of excited Years 3-6 students who have been practising their football and netball skills in designated physical education lessons as well as during recess and lunch time. Our team squads will be announced in the next fortnight.
The school has already organised a bus for all students to travel to and from Tamworth and more information, including costing and permission will be sent home via the Compass early next week.
St Patrick's Primary Sports Handbook
St Patrick's now has an official sports handbook. 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.
