Welcome to Term 4. It will be another jammed packed term full of sport. There will be events including the conclusion of the Mark Taylor Cricket Shield, and events that are starting up, for example Diocesan sport teams selections for 2020.

Next Tuesday our Cricketers will be heading to Narellan Vale for their next match in the Mark Taylor Cricket Shield. They are coming up against St. Clare’s Narellan Vale. We wish our cricketers all the best in this game and hope they can make it to the next stage of the competition. 

On Wednesday the 27^th November, we will be holding our Twilight Swimming Carnival at Nowra Pool. Years 2 to 5 are invited to participate as well as the current Year 1 students that will be turning 8 next year. In order to participate in the carnival, students must be able to swim 50 metres easily and make a commitment to representing St. Michael’s at the Diocesan level. 

I will be going around to see students in Grades 4 and 5 to see if they are eligible to trial for a Wollongong Diocesan team for 2020 in tennis, basketball and cricket. Students are required to be experienced players and extremely talented at their chosen sport. If they are successful during these trials they will go on to represent the Diocese of Wollongong at MacKillop Level Trials and might advance to represent at a State Level if they are successful at the MacKillop Trials. Nomination forms will be going to students who meet the criteria for their chosen sport and will need to be returned to me. Students who have nominated for a sport will be informed if they have been successful or unsuccessful to attend the trials when the trial date is near. If you have any questions, please see me.

Regards,

Mr. Allmark
