Sport
Diocesan Representative Sport
Many St Paul’s College students have been trialling for representation in Diocesan teams in a variety of sports. Chelsea Stringer (Year 10), Tylah Rixon (Year 9) and Emma Dowdle (Year 9) have all been selected in the Diocesan Open Girls football (Soccer) team. Andie Laird (Year 8) won selection in the Diocesan 15 years touch football team and Cooper Anderson (Year 8) has been selected in the Diocesan 15 Years rugby league team. Congratulations to all these talented athletes who we wish every success as they now move through the New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges (NSWCCC) sport representation pathway.
I will continue to advertise on Compass and the SPC Sports Desk if opportunities arise for students to nominate for selection to trial in a wide variety of individual and team sports.
Year 7 Swimming
Year 7 will be attending Kempsey pool for an intensive swimming program in Weeks 7 - 10 of Term 1. Parents/Carers will need to consent to this activity on Compass before students are able to participate. Costs associated with the internal swimming program will be billed to parents via the school fees billing system.
Year 8 Basketball
Year 8 will be utilising the new Mercy Centre for the rest of Term, completing an intensive basketball program conducted by Meghan Kemp from the Kempsey Basketball Association and funded by Sporting Schools Australia. This program will continue into Term 2 and will involve skill development sessions followed by competitive games.
Diocesan Swimming Championship
The Diocesan Swimming Carnival has been rescheduled to Wednesday 26 March and the venue has changed to Alstonville Aquatic Centre, Alston Avenue, Alstonville. Parents need to consent to attending this new event on Compass and pay online or at the office if you haven’t already done so. I will be contacting families regarding the rescheduling of this event.
