This brings us to the all-important House Cup points for the carnival. 

After checking, double-checking and triple checking the results and points and trying his very hardest to find more points for Ursula, Mr McLeish assures me that these are the final standings (including march past, war cries and best dressed): 

In fourth place          Ursula                        800 points

In third place             La Salle                     898 points

In second place       Merici                        903 points

And the winners       Benilde                    1034 points    

OCC Girls Rugby

Friday 14th May saw the comeback of the North West Regional Youth Rugby Competition supported by the NSW Rugby Union. The O’Connor Catholic College Girls’ squads have been training since the start of Term 2 with NSW rugby coach Hagen and were extremely keen to get back out on the field of play. 

Both U16s and U14s squads played great games with notable performances from Jemimah McKay, Shanae Bull and Angela Ryan. The OCC girls displayed great sportsmanship with many of our players offering to play for other teams to make up numbers. 

A huge well done and congratulations to all the girls, and a big thank you to the OCC staff (Natalie Gurr, Dea Trigwell-Lindley and Phoebe Biddle) for all their support. 

Rugby League - Inverell

Some of our students traveled to Inverell for Rugby League on Thursday. As more information comes to hand it will be added. Here is a short video in the meantime.
