Congratulations to all our representatives that competed on Tuesday April 27 at the Wollongong Diocese Cross Country Championships at Nowra. It is a challenging course and we are proud of your efforts.

Paul Kelly Cup (AFL)

Congratulations to all who participated. Each student took a leap of faith and tried a game that to many of them, was very foreign. As the day progressed, they demonstrated grit, determination and a true fighting spirit that is synonymous with our College in the sporting field. It was fantastic to experience students leaving it all out on the field and come off after each game with a huge smile on their face. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank Karen Bartlett, Kylie Colbourne, Tom Stephens and Sandra Tsagalas for their assistance in coaching teams on the day. 

We had fantastic results on the day with our Boys 2 Team making the semi-finals, Girls 1 Team finishing runners up and our Boys 1 Team winning the competition.

Well done to the Boys 1 Team, who has qualified to compete at Regional Finals on Thursday 27 May at Blacktown International Sports Park.

Rugby Union

On Friday, May 7 we have entered a team to compete in a knockout competition at Ocean Park, Woonona. The winner from this knockout will compete later in the year against other schools in the state at St Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill.

Congratulations on the following boys’ selection to participate in this knockout:
