Trial Athletics Carnival
The school Trial Athletics Carnival is an event to determine Championship Events for the Athletics Carnival. Students will be transported in grades to the Tamworth Regional Athletics Centre to race in the 100m and 200m running event. This will be held on Wednesday 14th June, 2023.
This event has been sent out on Compass. Please consent as soon as you are able to and if you are able to help, please indicate in the questions section on Compass when consenting (just above the acknowledgement above the consent button).
If your child is a competitive athlete and will not be able to attend the trials, please email Mrs Gippel nmcculloch@arm.catholic.edu.au to let her know and email through times.
Students from Years 3 - 6 will be competing in trial events for shot put, long jump and high jump at school for sport during school hours. This will take place during the last three weeks of Term 2. If you know your child will be away at this time, and they are a competitive athlete, please email Mrs Gippel their distance so they can be considered for the Championship Events. Year 2 will complete these events at the Trial day at the track.

Personal skipping Journal
By participating in Jump Rope for Heart, we are expecting to get our students moving. We will have ropes available on the school grounds and we are encouraging everyone to help raise funds for lifesaving research and support programs. Please encourage extra skipping at home. This promotes both physical and mental wellbeing. We are looking forward to seeing some awesome skipping, maybe even some new tricks.
During the weeks of the program, your child will learn new skills, increase their physical activity, and learn about heart health. The program will end with our school wide ‘Jump Off Day’ on Friay 9th June, 2023 where your child gets to show off their new skipping skills to their friends.
Diocesan Rugby Union Trials/Gary McSweeney Cup
On Monday, St Edward's participated in the Gary McSweeney Cup. Although our team was not successful, it was an honour and privilege to play in the Trials.
All students played so well and embraced the opportunity to be active in the sunshine. Gary was always a huge advocate for kids sport, at every level, and I know he would have been so proud to have today in his honour.
Polding Hockey
Gabby Hunt and Martha Ferris have had a hockey filled week, starting Monday with training, followed by an action packed week of back to back games. The girls are playing in the NSWCPS Polding Team at the NSWPSSA Hockey Championships being held here in Tamworth.
Representative Cricket
Congratulations to the following boys who made the Tamworth Representative Cricket sides. We are looking forward to hearing about all things cricket when the upcoming season approaches.

Penrith Netball Trip
St Edward's is excited to be able to take teams to Penrith again this year for the NSWCPS Netball Carnival. This will be held on Tuesday 29/8/2023. Selections for the teams will be held this Friday @ 1:50pm for years 3 and 4 and Wednesday 7/6/2023 for Years 5 and 6.
The trials held are to select a team/s (depending on the amount of students who trial). This is an independent trial with usual Saturday netball teams not coming into play at all. If there are not enough students to make two teams then only one team for that given age group will be selected. If you know your child is going to be away on the given day for the age group, please email Mrs Gippel so arrangements can be made for that child to trial on the alternate day.
Any questions or enquiries are to be directed to Mrs Gippel. A reminder that no negative interference will be tolerated by parents or carers in regards to the selection process or the final teams. nmcculloch@arm.catholic.edu.au
