School Cross Country

The weather was on our side on Tuesday! Despite a smaller number of races and a change in order we still had a fantastic turn out for our carnival. Well done to all our students who ran their hearts out and had big smiles on their sometimes red little faces!!!!

A big thank you to our two parents who volunteered their time to help us out - Pauline Sharpe who supported and cheered the student’s on from a checkpoint and Frances Crowley who offered her assistance despite being on crutches - we really appreciate your time. Thank you to our superstar grandparent that volunteers for us every year Mr Peter Ward who drove our cart at the back of the pack to give some students a much needed respite! Thank you also to Chad and Archie Challen who set out the course early on Tuesday morning and drove the front cart with some tunes that were apparently very inspiring!!

Once again we thank the Hennessy Year 11 PASS class team who assisted us again this year. They stood out on checkpoints cheering and encouraging students to keep going, they warmed up our runners on the start line and even ran with the students! I think Regan Bannister ran 6-8kms on the day. We love having these students helping us and the kids get such a kick out of seeing them. Thank you once again to Mr Brendan Croese for his help in organising the students to attend.

We congratulate O’DWYER House who were the champions on the day with a total of 559 points! Amazing effort!

Archdiocesan Swimming

Well done to all our swimmers who competed at the MacKillop Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic Park yesterday. We enjoyed watching the live screen when we could and were excited to cheer the students on!!!

There were lots of fantastic results with students achieving either improved entry or personal best times. To compete at this level and achieve these results is outstanding and we are so proud of all the students!

Congratulations to Chloe Buck who achieved a Bronze medal in the 11 years 50m Freestyle and Harry Robinson who was awarded a Silver medal in the 13 years 50m Freestyle.
