CECG Athletics Carnival
Congratulations to all our students who proudly represented St Mary’s at the CECG Athletics Carnival in Canberra on Thursday. Despite the very cold and wet conditions, everyone was excited and ready to give their best on the track and field.
Our St Mary’s team included: Mackenzie H, Abbie H, Bella S, Andre L, Liam G, Xavier E, Maya C, Patrick W, Ned S, Milton W, Maisey B, Calvin M, Olivia L, Byron S, Camden H and Zahli K. Each of these students competed with determination and displayed wonderful sportsmanship, making our school community very proud.
A special congratulations goes to Olivia L, who placed first in the Junior Girls Discus, competing against students from across all three regions! Olivia will now move on to represent the Canberra Goulburn team at the MacKillop Selections at Sydney Olympic Park on Wednesday, September 24 – an amazing achievement!
We also congratulate Mackenzie H, on being named Runner up Age Champion for senior girls. Mackenzie competed strongly in Canberra yesterday, placing second in high jump, long jump and discus and will also be heading for the next level of competition – a fantastic effort!
Hockey Gala Day
Students in Years 3–6 are invited to participate in the upcoming Hockey Gala Day, proudly organised by the Eurobodalla Hockey Association volunteers, Cheryl Sutherland and Sharni Barton. The Gala day will be held at Gundary Oval on Friday 29 August. Cheryl has been visiting St Mary’s for many years, sharing her expertise and passion for the game. This event will provide students with a fantastic opportunity to put into practice the hockey skills they have learnt earlier this year, while enjoying a fun and friendly competition. This will be an OPT-IN event. Students not attending will remain at school to be supervised. For further information, please go to the COMPASS portal to accept or decline the event. We are sure the children will have a fantastic day.
