Canons Successes

Welcome back to St Norbert College for 2019. Our Canons have not missed a beat over the holiday period with a number of students experiencing some great success in their field of sporting excellence.

Tegan Reder in Year 10 recently competed in the Breakers Swimming Competition at HBF Stadium. Tegan was fortunate enough to come home with a Bronze Medal in 50m Freestyle, Silver Medal in 50m Backstroke and Gold in 50m Breaststroke. Tegan is off to the Nationals in April to compete in the National Open Championships.

Holly Giles recently competed in the NRL Touch Football WA 2019 State Championships and had a tournament to remember. Holly’s team competed over two days winning their way into the grand final only to come up against Singapore, the third best team in the world. Unfortunately they lost 6 – 4 which was a great effort and an amazing experience.

Shenae Hartree, a member of our Canons Specialised Basketball Program, has been named in the WA U/18 Metro Womens State Basketball team. The girls will travel to Townsville in April. Well done Shenae.

I would like to ask all parents and students to pass on their sporting success to me throughout the year as we want to celebrate our students’ achievements at the College. Nothing is too big or too small. Please email me at lford@norbert.wa.edu.au.

There will be a Swimming Events Challenge session held on Wednesday February 27 from 7.45am – 8.20am at Aqualife, Victoria Park for any student who was unable to compete at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. This is similar to how the Cross Country and Athletics Event Challenges will operate.

More information will be provided to students and parents during Week 3.
