At the end of last Term a group of Year 5 and 6 boys travelled to Innisfail to compete in the annual Jim Graham Cup. The boys had a great day and played hard. A big shout out to Coach Emmi who prepared the boys, giving up his time to run lunchtime training sessions in the lead up to the carnival, as well as leading them at the carnival, along with Mr Clifford and Mr Jesse who also supported the boys on game day. Congratulations to all of the boys involved. You did us proud! Congratulations to Saxon Solien who was named Player of the Day for St. Clare's.

Just a reminder that our school Water Safety Program commences next week. All information was provided on Seesaw last week. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me (kmason2@cns.catholic.edu.au).

Date Claimer - Swimming carnival - Friday 24th of November, 2024.

All students participate in our carnival and our swim program staff spend lots of time preparing students for the carnival during our weekly sessions at the pool. This preparation builds confidence in our students and ensures they are nominated to swim in events that they are capable of swimming at our carnival. I look forward to having all students participate in our carnival this year as it is always a fun day had by all.

If for any reason your child is not attending the carnival, please let me know as soon as possible to ensure adjustments can be made to carnival planning, as this assists with a much smoother run carnival on the day.

The 2024 Southern Zone Sports Awards night is being held on Monday the 13th of November at Tully State High School. Students who have represented our District in sport throughout the year will be invited to attend this night. Invitations will be sent home in the coming weeks.
