Naidoc Oz Tag Cup
A group of over 80 students participated in the NAIDOC Oz Tag Cup at Verge Street Fields on Thursday 31 July. This was a very enjoyable day and all of our students represented the College with pride.
St Paul's had two teams in each age division with the 14 Years boys playing each other in the final. Our 14 Years girls were very unlucky to lose their final against Kempsey High and the 16 Years boys and girls teams also played in the finals.
Thanks to Mr Will Pollock, Miss Khianni Walsh MacKiernan, Miss Tahlia Byrne and Mr Aiden Tolman for their expert coaching skills throughout the day.

St Paul's College Rising Stars
Two of our outstanding athletes at St Paul’s College have excelled during the July school holidays. Wilton Townsend came second and Amelia Wilson came fifth at the NSW Short Course Cross Country Championships held at Dapto. They have both now qualified for the Australia Cross Country Championships that will be run in Ballarat during August. Best wishes to both of these students who are fantastic role models for others at our College.
