PDSSSC Cross Country:

Congratulations to the following students who attended the PDSSSC Cross Country last Friday 13th May.

Teachers from other schools commended our students on their professional presentation, their efforts and the number of students that we had compete as part of our Cross Country team. Miss Nikitotic was especially proud of student’s encouragement and support of one another. A special congratulations to Jake Parkes of year 12 who came 5th overall and as a result, will progress to the NSWCCC carnival

Thank you especially to Miss Nikitovic and Mr Weaver for your support and encouragement of the teams on the day. We are very proud of the students who attended. You were  exemplar representatives of our College community and yourselves.

Thursday representative sport

Congratulations to all students who trialled for a Season 2 representative team and well done to those students who were selected. Some teams had over 40 students trial and coaches were so impressed with the level of skill and effort exhibited, finding it incredibly difficult to select a team.

Due to the rain, round 1 of games for our Netball and soccer teams has been delayed on week, with the competition now commencing in Week 5 (26th May). Details about draws can be found here https://www.secondarysportparra.catholic.edu.au/Thursday-Sport/Season-2

Parent/guardians have been sent information via Compass for when after school training takes place for each team. Training is a compulsory requirement for those a part of a representative team and parental consent is required for this.

Our teams have been training hard to prepare for the season and I thank their dedicated coaches for their time and commitment to prepare these teams.
