St Michael's Sports Corner

Year 3-6 Sports Day

This year has been a difficult one to organise sport events due to the amount of rain we have experienced. As a result, not all students were able to participate in our Cross Country and Athletics carnivals. To make up for this, today Friday 16 September our Year 3-6 students have participated in a Sports Day rotating through a variety of sports. It has been a fun-filled day and our Year 6 students have done very well leading each sport. Well done!

Wollongong Athletics Team

We would like to wish Noah Jamieson, Ella Walsh, Finn Goddard and Sylas Murphy the best of luck next Wednesday 21 October, when they compete in the NSWCPS MacKillop Athletics Trials at Homebush. We know you'll do your best.

Rugby Union State Trials

On Friday 26 August Noah Jamieson travelled to Mudgee to represent MacKillop in the State trials for Rugby Union. After a week of training sessions, skills and drills, and game strategy, Noah's team competed against other representative teams from across the state. Noah played 4 games over two days in a variety of positions against some extremely talented and tall players. His contributions for his team were invaluable, scoring five tries and showing outstanding sportsmanship. This was a huge learning experience for Noah who enjoyed every minute of it! Well done Noah on your efforts.

Paul Kelly Cup

On Monday 12 September, our Year 6 Paul Kelly Cup team, led by Ms Scurr, travelled up to Homebush to compete in the State Finals. The boys were lucky enough to play on the GWS Giants home ground. They were playing against the best AFL teams in New South Wales. The boys played 3 games over the course of the day against some extremely talented teams. Unfortunately, they were unable to come away as champions but did finish 4th overall. Congratulations to the Year 6 boys and Ms Scurr on such a great achievement.

Wollongong Diocesan Team 2023 Trials

Nominations are now open for students in Years 4 and 5 who wish to trial for a Wollongong Diocesan team for 2023. Please be aware that we can only send a few students for each selected sport, the Catholic Education Office advise the following selection criteria:

  • Schools are encouraged to nominate OUTSTANDING PLAYERS ONLY. Students should be representative players who play regularly in competitions.
  • Students should be highly skilled athletes and familiar with the rules and skills associated with their nominated sport.
  • Students who have participated at an elite level are encouraged to nominate.

Your child may not be successful in their nomination due to experience, skills or not meeting the CEO criteria. 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 contact Mr Allmark.

To nominate your child for a sport please fill out the following form https://bit.ly/3xoWTZc. Please submit a separate form for each sport nomination.

Now that winter sports are coming to an end, we can start to look towards summer sports. There are a host of sports on offer for the students to participate in. I have listed a few below with a link or phone number for further details;
