Welcome to the seventh week of Term 1. How this term has flown by so quickly! Keep reading on for the latest sporting updates and information about our cross country. The next week seems to be a busy week for the sporting sector.

On Monday 24th of March, we will have three students competing at the Sydney Catholic Schools Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.We wish the following students the best of luck in their events:

- Eliza Pearson: Girls 10 50 Free & Girls 8-10 50 Fly JUNIOR

- David Persinger: Boys 8-10 50 Breast JUNIOR

- Lachlan Woodlock: Boys 12-13 50 Back SENIOR

Tuesday 25th of March is an eventful day with cross country (which will be addressed further down in this article), as well as Zachary Meacock and Jorge Pyke attending the MacKillop AFL Selections trial in Wagga Wagga. They have succeeded in making the Sydney Catholic Schools team and are now trialing for a spot in the MacKillop team. If successful, they will progress onto the state trials.

On Friday 28th of March, Conrad Barbour will head to the Eastern Suburbs and trial in Rugby League to make the Sydney Catholic Schools team. Eve Grover and Elle (Year 6) will also be heading to the Heffron Centre in Maroubra for their netball trial. If successful, they will progress and make up the Sydney Catholic Schools team. We wish all of the above students who will be trialling next week in their respective sport the best of luck. I am sure that they will represent Sacred Heart and their community well.

This now brings me to our postponed event, our annual Sacred Heart Cross Country! Due to the poor weather last week, this event has been moved to next week on Tuesday 25th of March. The timetable and all of the other details remain the same. Please ensure that your child/ren is wearing their sports uniform on that day and bring sun protection, hats and filled water bottles. Let’s hope for great weather on this new date. Please find the timetable attached below.

That’s all for now in sporting news. I look forward to giving you all further updates on our student achievements. Until the next time!

Kind Regards
