We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our talented athletes and share some exciting opportunities coming up in Term 2.

RUGBY LEAGUE SUCCESS - FINN GODDARD & MASON MILLIGAN
Congratulations to Finn Goddard and Mason Milligan, who trialled for the Wollongong Diocesan Rugby League Team on Tuesday 1 April. Competing against approximately 60 students in a round-robin format, both boys were selected to participate in the “Possibles vs Probables” match at the end of the day. After impressing selectors, Finn and Mason secured their place in the final Diocesan team. They will now represent Wollongong at the MacKillop Trials in Canberra on Friday 9 May. Well done, boys!

SOUTHERN SOCCER TRIALS – GOALKEEPING GLORY FOR ARCHIE
Lillian Barker, Liam Green, Charles Meagher, Archie Richards, Ollie Soper and Caden Wynn recently represented at the Southern Soccer Trials, playing against some of the region’s best young players.

A special congratulations to Archie Richards, who was invited to a second round of trials, this time competing against players from the Western Wollongong region. Showcasing outstanding goalkeeping skills, Archie was selected for the Wollongong Representative Team and will now compete at the MacKillop Trials in Sydney at the end of May. What an incredible achievement!
