From the Principal
Twinkle, Twinkle Little STARS!!
Well this year it was not twilight sports but in broad daylight, out came the twinkling little and big stars of our school, St Francis de Sales Lynbrook. The only thing missing to make our 2021 School Sports complete was our parents.
The children were all amazing, cheering their teams on with great gusto and spirit. They ran like the wind and participated with all their might. We had sprints, and relays and sack races. Then the Grade 6 gift to see who was our 2021 fastest runner. Our children were so amazing and you would have been just as proud as the staff and I were of their efforts.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 St Francis de Sales Spirit Award

A big thank you to Lulli and Giuliana for all their coordination and organisation to ensure this was a very memorable and fun day for our children. Thanks Kristy for adding the FUN music for all of us to enjoy and get into the groove! Thanks to all our sensational staff for their great support. This year we also had 30 Gr 6 students step up and be great leaders helping with our junior races. We thank each and everyone of them for making the day so special.
Finally the day was made extra special because our P&F cooked and organised a FREE sausage for students who ordered one and also for our staff. Thanks for all your efforts in providing us this treat. We all enjoyed it. Thank you parents and Friends for a fantastic first event for 2021. We look forward to being able to open up safely to many more fun events with both children and parents in 2021.
