Dear Parents and Carers,

How this term is going by so quickly! We are now half way into the school term which means this is week 5 of the sporting edition. I look forward to bringing you the latest of our student’s sporting achievements.

Last Wednesday, we had three boys attend the Conference Basketball Trials. Congratulations to Jorge Pyke and Archie Montgomery who progressed to the next round and attended the Sydney trials.

As reported last week, on Monday that just passed, we then had a group of Sacred Heart students also trial for a place to progress into the MacKillop selections basketball trial. Congratulations to Lea Schmidt, Jorge Pyke and Archie Montgomery for progressing to the next round. 

On Tuesday 19th of November, we will have three boys representing Sacred Heart at the Sydney Boys AFL trial. We wish the best of luck to Lachlan Savage, Jorge Pyke and Zachary Meacock.

Lastly, in regards to trials on November 25th and November 26th, Sacred Heart will also have Zachary Meacock and Ignatius Findlay travelling down to Wagga Wagga to participate in the MacKillop Selections cricket trial. If successful, they will represent Sydney Catholic Schools in MacKillop Team at the State trials fighting for a spot to make it into the NSWPSSA team.

To end off our sporting section, we had our annual swimming carnival today. I would like to firstly thank Mr. Shane Kenny for conducting and executing the day in my absence and all of the staff members that assisted in making the day happen. A special shout out and thank you to Marist North Shore for providing with their students and assisting us on the day with the timing. Their help on this day is always greatly appreciated. Lastly, thank you to all of the parent volunteers who have sacrificed their time and volunteered on the day. Big events like this cannot happen so smoothly without all of your help and support.
