BASKETBALL GALA DAY
On Thursday 14th and Friday 15th September, selected students from Years 4 to 6 participated in a Basketball Gala Day at the Shellharbour Sports Complex. All students were extremely well behaved and enjoyed the opportunity of playing against schools in the southern part of the Wollongong Diocese.
Thank you to Mrs Roles for supervising the students and to parents; Lisa Webber, Emma Lucke, Kelly Doll, Simone Hackett and Renee Warnes for managing teams on the day.
MACKILLOP ATHLETICS TRIALS
On Monday 18 September, Mila Bozikov, Amarlie Ward, Morten Ellerington, Adam Wisniewski, Cooper Green and Sylas Murphy, competed in the MacKillop Athletics Trials at Homebush Athletics Centre. It was an extremely warm day with students drinking slushies and eating ice cream to remain cool in the soaring heat of up to 36 degrees. Despite the challenging conditions, students displayed tremendous efforts to achieve outstanding results!
Congratulations to Mila, Amarlie, Adam, Morten, Sylas and Cooper!
A special mention to Cooper Green. As a result of finishing in the top 3, Cooper has qualified to represent MacKillop at the NSWPSSA trials at Sydney Olympic Park on 25-26 October. We wish Cooper all the best for these trials!
