Sports Corner News
On the sunny morning of July 26, our highly anticipated annual Athletics Carnival was held at Sanctuary Point Oval, bringing together students from Years 3 to 6 for a day of excitement and sportsmanship.
Students showcased their impressive speed, endurance and skills in a variety of track and field events, including 100, 200 and 800 metre races and long jump. Representing their colour house teams, students also enjoyed tug of war and relay races in a friendly competition.
The spirit of the school was evident as students encouraged one another, celebrated each other's successes, and displayed exemplary behaviour.
A big thank you to our staff, parent volunteers Mrs Goddard, Mrs Bozikov, Mrs Ellerington and Mrs Allmark for their assistance at the start and finish line and parents/carers and family who attended to support their child and the event.
Congratulations to the following students for their impressive results, excelling in both the track and field events.
Once medals are received from the engravers, they will be presented during our Friday morning assembly. Parents/carers of award recipients will be notified via the Compass Parent Portal once the date is confirmed.

CONGRATULATIONS FINN
On Tuesday 23 July, Finn Goodard represented MacKillop at the State Cross Country Trials at the Sydney Equestrian Centre. Finn was exposed to a new level of competition with the best runners from all over New South Wales. Finn found this experience challenging due to the competitive nature of the run, providing a good training opportunity for Finn's upcoming national competition in Tasmania at the end of the month. We wish Finn all the best for this event.
