School Cross Country

Diocesan Winter Sports Trials

Congratulations to all of our Winter sports trialists who competed in hockey, rugby league, netball and football this week. The feedback we received from all selectors and managers is that our Aggies athletes gave their very best and displayed a high level of sportsmanship that our school is famous for.

Out of eight students trialling at this event, an incredible five have been selected to trial at Polding level. The following students will be making the next big step.

Rugby League Opens: Rafferty Gordon
Rugby League U11s: Lachlan Walters and Jack Franklin
Girls Football (Soccer): Maeve Pepper and Arliah Morris

PSSA Swimming and Diving

Congratulations to Bianca Harrison and Luke Stevens who competed in swimming and diving respectively at the PSSA event in Sydney during the week.

Bianca placed an admirable 29th in the state which is an exceptional accomplishment considering her disrupted preparation due to the floods.

Luke placed an incredible 4th in the U12/13 1 metre springboard which is an incredible result at this level. The school community are very proud of both of these athletes.

FORE!

Next term will see all grades participate in specialised golfing coaching. This is made possible by funding secured through the federal government Sporting Schools program. We look forward to unearthing the next golfing superstar!

Another term comes to an end. The cancellations and postponements that characterised last year threatened us again. But our athletes dealt with this with their customary resilience and stoicism. Here’s hoping that Term 2 proves to be a more ‘normal’ time!

Good luck to Spencer Galfassi-Barnes who is off to the national Futsal titles being held in the Hawkesbury this weekend. We look forward to hearing how his team goes!
