Diocesan Swimming Carnival
Good luck to the 18 students who will be travelling to Gunnedah tomorrow to represent our school in the Diocesan Swimming Carnival.
Swimming parents, just a reminder that your child needs to find their own way to and from the carnival. Mrs Gippel will be there to mark the roll and to supervise the group. It is expected that all St Edward’s students remain together whilst present at the carnival.
The APPROXIMATE time of events is listed below. I can’t stress enough that these are approximate times.

Winter Trials
Just a reminder to all parents of students who have been selected for Winter Trials to consent and pay on Compass before tomorrow (24/2/2023) afternoon. A reminder email has been sent out. If your child is not participating, please decline the event.
Please make sure that you read the information on the Event on Compass for all the important information. St Edward’s is sending individuals to trial for the Diocesan team and not sending teams as such. There has been a little bit of confusion around this. Students will receive St Edward’s representative shirts on Wednesday to wear on the day. These are to be washed and returned as soon as possible.

Below is the final lists for our St Edward's teams.
Please make sure you have registered your player in both their team and personal registration. At least 7 players need to be registered to be placed in the draw.
