Very exciting times for a few of our Sacred Heart students. Recently, Millie Cargill of Year 2 who participated in the Irish National Dancing Championship last weekend for Dwyer Whelan dancing school, winning her section. The INDA is the longest running Irish dancing competition in Australia.
Due to her hard work and passion for dance, she placed overall 1st place! Congratulations to Millie and all her hard work! Thank you to her parents for supporting her and taking Millie to all her practices.
Cassidy Thomson of Year 6 has been out and about for the last week representing Mackillop at the PSSA Girls Basketball Championship at Aubury. Over the course of 4 days Cassidy played a number of games against teams within New South Wales. In her first game, the Mackillop team was up against the Polding team. Mackillop came on top for this game and Mackillop therefore received the Catholic Cup. A great start to their tour.
After 4 days of competition, Cassidy and her team made their way to the grand final! After a grueling 4 quarters, the Mackillop team placed second in the entire competition! Well done Cassidy! To further this excitement and due to Cassidy’s love of Basketball, passion and hard work, she has been selected to represent New South Wales in the National Competition! In the school basketball pathways this is the highest achievement a student can reach. Well done Cassidy! Sacred Heart looks forward to hearing about your next competition.
On the 14th of June, a number of our students travelled to Eastern Creek for the Mackillop Cross Country. Congratulations to Bronte McPherson, Katie Maddern, Christian and Remy Camus, Poppy O’Brien and Grace Prince for their efforts on the day. Especially considering the weather!
An additional congratulations and standing applause to Poppy O’Brien and Christian and Remy Camus who all placed, securing positions at the PSSA Cross Country Championships! A reflection of their hard work and dedication to their sport. Sacred Heart wishes you all the best in your preparation for the next level.
