T20 Blast Cricket – Cassowary Coast South

Year 5 and 6 students had a blast at the T20 Blast Cricket on Wednesday 18th September at the Kim Carrol Soccer Fields/Mick Miller Cricket grounds. Our four teams played excellent cricket with our boys placing fifth in a very competitive draw, our mixed team placing third and our two girls teams placing second and third.

We are very grateful to all the parents who provided transport to the event and to Mrs Durighello and Mrs Kerr for spending the day with us to manage teams.

We also thank Mr Cattarossi and the Tully Cricket Club for hosting such a fantastic day of sport for the children of our district.

Mary Mills Catholic Schools’ Netball Carnival

Two teams of Year 5 and 6 students played at the Mary Mills Catholic Schools' Netball Carnival in Cairns on Friday 20^th September.
We were very proud of all the girls' efforts and sportsmanship. Our Year 6 team took three wins in the 'Competitive Pool' and our Year 5 team made it to the grand final in the 'Challenge Pool' going down 4-2 to Holy Cross to make them the runners' up!
We are very appreciative for all the parent support we had yesterday scoring, transporting and cheering the girls.
We also thank the staff of SGM for organising an excellent carnival.
