It has certainly been a busy past few weeks with sport and there is still more to come.

On the 8^th June, 4 St Michael’s students, Ella Walsh, Milla Cooper, Taj Goddard and Anna Duncan competed in the NSWCCP Cross Country Championships at Eastern Creek. It was an early rise for the students.

Ella Walsh ran 2km in 10min:20secs and came 38th overall. 

Milla Cooper ran 2km in 9min:17secs and came 17th overall.

Taj Goddard ran 3km in 13min:44secs and came 18th overall.

Anna Duncan ran 3km in 13min:56secs and came 7th overall.

The following week, boys and girls from years 3 to 6 participated in the Netball Gala Day at Berkeley. The students played games in a round robin format. All the students had a great time, especially the boys, who had their first taste of umpired netball.

The school’s athletics carnival will be held next Monday 21^st June at Shoalhaven High School. Permission notes have gone home via Compass. Can you please check your emails or go onto the Compass Portal to give permission for your child to attend the carnival. On the day, students will compete in the athletic events of 100m, 200m and 800m races, and other novelty events. To help students prepare for the day, teachers will be taking the students through the field events of high jump, long jump and shot put during their sports lesson. The finals of these will be held during school and not at the carnival. The top place getters in these events will progress to a Diocese Athletics Carnival, where students will compete to represent Wollongong at the MacKillop trials.

Upcoming sporting dates for Term 2:

Athletics Carnival – 21^st June
