Diocesan Cross Country Trials

Congratulations to the 26 students who have been officially selected to represent St Patrick's at the Diocesan Cross Country Trials in Barraba on Friday, May 22nd. Mr Hyatt will be attending the trials as our team manager. The diocesan sports shirts will be handed out this upcoming Monday.

Missing Diocese School Sporting Shirts

A quick reminder that we are missing a number of our St Patrick's Diocesan sports shirts. If your child has accidentally held onto one from a previous sporting event, please return it to the school as soon as you can. It is important that we have our full set back and ready to be distributed ahead of the upcoming ACS Cross Country Trials this upcoming Monday. Thank you for your cooperation.

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.
