Thursday representative sport

Unfortunately our soccer teams have experienced 2 washouts at the start of the season and are eagerly awaiting to play what is hoped to be their first game next week!

Our netball teams have been fortunate enough to play rounds 1 and 2, with the junior team playing their first game this week after a BYE in week 1.

We wish all teams the very best for this season and thank their coaches for their hard work training and preparing their respective teams for the competition. 

College Athletics Carnival

Our College Athletics Carnival is Friday 10th June and held on school grounds. If your son/daughter would like to nominate a distance for the PDSSSC Carnival in Javelin, 1500m, Triple jump or Discus, please email me kbrogan@parra.catholic.edu.au as these events are not run at our College carnival. These event distances/times must be competitive and verified by a student’s local Athletics club.

Unfortunately we will also be unable to run our 400 and 800m event. Any student who is a competitive runner in these events and wishes to nominate times for these events needs to also email me. Nominations are due by Friday 17th June.

Student sporting successes

You may recall reading about Bianca Infante (of year 11) who was successful in qualifying for the NSWCCC open Volleyball. Bianca is competing next Friday at the NSW All Schools Quad Series Tournament. 

Bianca has also secured a spot in NSW State Team Squads for the divisions of Youth U17 and Junior u19, where she will compete in the National Championships occurring in July (Junior U/19) (Youth U/17) in Bendigo, Victoria. Last but not least, Bianca was invited to join the Australia National Junior Development Squad, where she is training amongst the best junior volleyball players in the nation. By joining this squad, Bianca is in contention of playing for Australia for international events and tournaments.

This is such a HUGE achievement for Bianca and St Andrews is very proud of you. We cannot wait to hear more about the results of these events! Congratulations Bianca.
