SPORT
We have officially reached our second last newsletter for this term. My, how quickly this term has gone by. Welcome to the Week 7 sporting edition at Sacred Heart, Mosman. We have had quite a few events occur in the last two weeks, so please keep reading on for all of the sporting news and updates.
On Monday 25th of August, Charlie attended a trial for the golf sporting pathways at Blackheath Golf Course. It was an amazing experience where Charlie played an 18 hole tournament. Although he did not make it into the NSWPSSA team this year, he is already training hard and has his sights set on it again for next year. We are cheering for you and your endeavours!!
On Friday 29th of August, Sacred Heart had a great number in representation at the SCS Pre to Post Athletics Championships where 11 students had attended.Out of the 11, we have a handful of students progressing through to make part of the Sydney Catholic Schools team. From here, they will attend the MacKillop Championships at SOPAC on the 24th of September. Successful students will then progress and be part of the MacKillop team. From this event, we actually had some great results with Gisele Camus placing 2nd overall in both her 800m and 1500m event. Thomas Lee also had an amazing result placing 2nd in his shot put event.
The SNR boys relay team placed 3rd overall in their event and will also be progressing into the next round. I would like to extend a special thank you to Nic Meacock who had been training them before the Championships. The team provided excellent results, shaving a whole 3.36 seconds off of their time from their previous two weeks ago.
On Monday the 1st of September, Stage 2 (Year 3 and Year 4) attended their Interschool Sports OzTag Gala Day at Blackman Park. It was a beautiful day and the sun was out and shining. It was so nice to see our children interacting and engaging with students from other schools in a friendly game of OzTag.
Thank you so much to Sydney Catholic schools for organising such a great initiative, and to our teachers who assisted in guiding students to the correct fields and with the overall running of the day:
Mrs Curran, Miss Adamo, Mrs McCoy, Mr. O’Donoghue, Mrs. Loughland and Miss Monckton
Thank you also to our Year 6 referees who helped make the day such a great success:
Molly M, Emily B, Mia O, Lea S, Eve G, Chloe S, Jorge P, Archie M, Lachlan W, Matthew Z and Zachary M.
To end off, I would like to close with a good news story. Grace Paul in Year 6 has showed a stellar performance in her gymnastics outside of school. She participated in her first State Trial for State Championships this year and came:
- 1st - Floor Routine
- 3rd - Bars
- 2nd - Vault
Such great results for her very first event. It is so well deserved as she trains 11 hours per week! As a result of her placement in the Northern Regional State trials a few weeks ago, she has been selected as part of the Northern Region State Team to compete at the State Championships for Level 4 WAG on October 31-November 2. She will also be competing this weekend in Newcastle in the Level 4 WAG National team for her club, AAGI. We wish Grace the best of luck in her upcoming trials and are so proud of her results!
Well, you’re all caught up now. That’s it for sporting news this fortnight. I look forward to bringing you our students’ further achievements.
Kind Regards,
Miss Austrie Calizar
