Here at St Brigid’s we not only enjoy acknowledging our students on their achievements but also the staff.  Congratulations to Miss Ardern and Mr Barnett on their recent sporting achievements.

Miss Ardern is the Catholic Schools NSW Volleyball Coach for Open Girl’s, on Friday 9 June her team made it through to the finals held at Sydney Olympic Park.  The team put in a great effort, unfortunately on the day Catholic School NSW team came away 2nd overall, losing to Combine High Schools team.  Thank you, Miss Ardern, for your dedication and support to this team and congratulations.

Mr Barnett and his team, Central Coast Christian Football representative team won the state championships in Illawarra over the long weekend.  Mr Barnett was also named on the NSW representative team to take on other associations from all over the country and New Zealand in Queensland later this year.  Well done Mr Barnett!

That’s a wrap for Broken Bay Soccer with our Year 7 teams traveling down to Manly Tuesday for their soccer gala day.  Congratulations to both our teams on great sportsmanship and representing the College proudly.  It’s another first for these Year 7 students coming together in a sport they have not all played or played together as a team before.  They did exceptionally well, coming together as a team and had a good solid go.  Well done!

Thank you to Mrs Walters and Mr Philpot for taking the teams today.

Our U16’s and Opens Boys Futsal teams made the journey to Maitland to play in the Northern NSW futsal school’s tournament.  With some last-minute team changes due to injury, our boys rose above the challenges and played well against some tough opposition, having fun and enjoying the experience.  Thanks Mr Nield and Ms Giblin for taking the teams.

Our Stage 5 Inflame Cycling group have been exploring the local bike tracks in Lake Munmorah and enjoying the scenery.  They are generally cycling between 15 and 20km each week.  What a wonderful way to start a Wednesday.

Our U13 Rugby League team recently played in the NRL Central Coast Cup at Erina, after wet weather put a spanner in the works the week before.  They were energetic and showed good team cohesion throughout the day!

The highlights of the day included a win against Narara Valley High and an extremely close game against Mackillop.  Thank you to Mr Devlin for organising and training the team and to Mr McFarlane, Ms Bailey and Peter from St Brendan’s for coaching and supporting on the day.

Recently over the course of 2 days, Kye Mc of Year 8 represented our College, Broken Bay and Catholic Schools NSW at the All-Schools Swimming Championships.  This event was held at Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre.

Well done Kye and just like your family, we at the College are too very proud of your effort at this level.   A big thank you to Kye’s biggest supporter, his Mum Cathy for the photos and updates every time.  We really appreciate it, Cathy.
