St Clare’s convened the District Touch Gala Day at the end of last term, and what a great day of sport it was! A special thank you must go to Tully State High School for the use of their fields and for allowing their students (who did a fabulous job) to assist with refereeing all day.

Thank you to the many amazing helpers in our school community who assisted Mrs Jenkins with field set up and organisation of the day, and Mrs Vipiana with baking or helping out in the canteen and of course, our parents who transport and manage teams for our students on the day.

We had 3 superstars who were recognised by referees for their outstanding conduct all day. Well done Andre Russell, Evie Parkes & Stanley Fraser.

Congratulations to our students who were selected in the Southern Zone Cassowary Coast team: Madison Clifford, Quinn Waters, Shiloh Spencer, Evie Parkes, Kace Hodgson, Noah La Fauci, Nate Silvestro, Kade Murphy, Eddie Brunello, Warrick Grimaz, and shadows Billy Johnston,Tarique Noonan & Billy Morris.
