MacKillop Athletics Championships
On Wednesday, Calvin M (Year 3), Xavier E (Year 4) and Mackenzie H (Year 5) competed at the MacKillop Athletics Championships at Sydney Olympic Stadium. This is such a huge achievement for our three students to compete at this level of competition. Calvin competed in the 100m sprint, Xavier was entered in the junior boys 1500m race and Mackenzie was in multiple events including 11 years long jump, 100m, 200m and high jump. All students had a wonderful day and should be very proud of their achievements.
In EXCITING news, Mackenzie placed second in the 11 years girls High jump, receiving a SILVER medal for her PB jump of 1.34m! This is an outstanding achievement and we are sure that Mackenzie will be someone to watch over the coming years.
Congratulations Mackenzie!
Intensive Swimming Program
We are excited to be working with the Moruya Swimming Pool to participate in a K - 6 swimming program. Swimming is a lifelong skill and water safety is an important aspect of coastal living as well as having many health benefits. The swimming program will begin in Week 3 with a swimming proficiency assessment session and then one day per week, for 4 weeks. Jessie White, Carla Durnan, Brooke Connaughton and myself will be leading the swim instruction for this program and Mrs Lorraine Borger will also be assisting our students. Lorraine brings a wealth of knowledge of swimming instruction and skill and we are very lucky to have her assistance and support as she volunteers with us again this year. More information, including cost and other arrangements for the program will be communicated with families by early next term via the COMPASS portal. Each child will require parental consent to participate in the program prior to the proficiency swimming session in Week 3.

Canberra Goulburn Sports Trials for 2025: Basketball, Cricket and Tennis
In term 4, students in Years 4 and 5 this year (2024) may be eligible to trial for the Canberra Goulburn Archdiocesan 2025 Individual sports trials in Cricket, Tennis and Basketball. These three sports are the only sports that are trialled in the year prior to the next school year. This is because the MacKillop selections are quite early in the new year. If your child plays any of these sports (Cricket, Tennis and Basketball) competitively and with a high level of skill, they are eligible to nominate for the trials. (Please note: Touch football trials are usually held later in term 4 each year to prepare for the year ahead, however, this has changed this year and trials for touch football will be held early in 2025).
If your child is interested in nominating for these events, please go to the CSNSW Sport website for more information and registration details.
If you require any further information or have any questions regarding individual sports trials, please be in touch with me at: megan.grant@cg.catholic.edu.au
All other sports nominations and trails for next year will be communicated to year 5 and 6 families in the new year.
