NSW PSSA ATHLETICS

Last week, Cleal Bender attended the NSW PSSA Athletic Championships as a member of the Polding Team. He competed in High Jump and Long Jump. It was an extremely windy day in Sydney which made the High Jump a little tricky. Cleal had a great couple of days and even managed to get a photo with a couple of Olympian’s, Bendere Oboya and Brandon Starc.

Todd Woodbridge Cup State Final

Next Monday, ten St Xavier's students (Archie McCormack, Sam Swain, Jedd Smallwood, Oliver Gainsford, Lachlan Gurney, Jazmin Hobden, Hannah Mackellar, Dana Campbell, Eliza Campbell and Leah Keam) will be in Sydney competing in the Todd Woodbridge Cup State Final. The team qualified for the final late last term. 

This is a new competition through Tennis NSW  which uses modified equipment, numeric scoring and mixed gendered teams. The competition progresses from Zone Gala Days to Region Finals and finally the State Final.

A big thanks to Craig Louis who has been helping the team out and to Mandy Swain for coordinating the team.

2020 Swimming Carnival

Next year the St Xavier's Swimming Carnival will be held on Friday 21 February. Please note this will be a daytime carnival, not a twilight carnival as in previous years.
