I want to say a massive congratulations to each and every student who competed in our cross country on Friday. We were so impressed with the level of participation at this carnival and the effort and perseverance displayed by every child. It was a very hot day and we are proud of each and every one of you. Participation at this sports event has set the bar high for our carnivals this year and I look forward to seeing everyone in attendance for our athletics carnival next Term.

Congratulations to our age champions for 2023. This is an exceptional achievement. A massive congratulations to Cooby for being the overall House winners for 2023.

What an incredible day we had the other week at the Rugby League and Netball Gala Day. Our students displayed exceptional behaviour and incredible sportsmanship. We are very proud of every student that was involved in this day. Our rugby league teams were undefeated and our netball teams played exceptionally well with the Year 6 girls team making it through to the A Grade final. Congratulations to all of the students for outstanding results on the field and on the court.

Big sports days like these are impossible without our amazing staff and parents. We were very fortunate to have several parents assist us with coaching teams and assisting with first aid. A massive thank you to Mr Emmi, Mr Clifford, Mr Silvestro, Mr Condon, Mrs Brunello and Miss Lucy who all volunteered for us at the gala day and shared their wealth of knowledge with our students. We are very grateful for your assistance and support. Thank you parents and staff for helping make this day such a big success.
