Please join us as we celebrate the incredible achievements of our swimming team at the Broken Bay Swimming Carnival!

Despite being a relatively small team, our students showed immense dedication and spirit. Every single one of them presented on the day and brought their absolute best to the pool.

A special congratulations goes out to Gemma B of Year 7 and Kye M of Year 10 for making the Broken Bay team. They will be competing at the Catholic Schools NSW competition, and we wish them both the very best of luck.

An extra shoutout to Kye M, who was named the 15 years boys age champion. This is an incredible achievement, marking four straight years of being the Broken Bay age champion. Well done, Kye!

Let’s give a huge round of applause to all our swimming team members for their efforts on Monday!

Days like our College swimming carnival last Friday truly showcase the strength and unity of our college community. Our recent swimming carnival by the beautiful waters of Lake Macquarie was nothing short of spectacular. With record numbers of student participation, the event was a testament to the incredible sportsmanship, talent, and all-around fun that our students bring to such events!

From thrilling races to enthusiastic cheers, the spirit of camaraderie was palpable. It was amazing to see everyone come together, supporting one another and celebrating each other’s achievements.

As we reflect on Friday’s success, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Walker House on their outstanding win!

Here are some photos for you to enjoy of last Friday’s House Challenge.  Terry were the winners on the day followed by Kildare, Walker and Lakes.

We are always pleased to see everyone getting involved and having fun whilst earning points for their house.

Today, we are thrilled to share some wonderful news about our under 15 boys and girls touch teams.
Firstly, we would like to congratulate both teams on a fantastic day of competition. Your behaviour and sportsmanship were exemplary, and you represented our school with pride and integrity. Well done to each and every one of you!

A special mention goes to our girls’ team for their outstanding performance. They made it to the grand final and played an incredibly close game against St Peter’s, finishing with a score of 3-2. Although they came away with silver, their effort and determination were truly commendable. Congratulations, girls, on a fantastic achievement!

The level of competition was outstanding, and we are proud to announce that several of our students have been selected to play on the Broken Bay Touch Football team. This is the largest number of students we have ever had selected for Broken Bay, which is a testament to your hard work and dedication.

Please join me in congratulating the following students: Halle B, Chloe S, Tayla G, Ma’Niyah J, Tayla Mc, Rylee F, Maxx S, Jett S, Braxon C, and Jayden A. Well, done to all of you! We are incredibly proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing you all represent the college on the Broken Bay team.

Once again, congratulations to all our players. You have made us all very proud. Keep up the great work, and let’s continue to support each other in all our endeavours.

Kye has had an incredible year in swimming, finishing as the NSW State champion in the 1500m and 400m freestyle events, and securing second place in the 800m freestyle for the 14 years boys’ category. Representing our college at all levels has been a major highlight for Kye, and we know he will strive to match these achievements next year.

We are incredibly proud of Kye and it is our honour to support him at the Blue Awards and in all his future accomplishments. Kye has a huge support group at the college, including a dedicated cheer squad always ready to rally behind him. We are committed to supporting Kye in every possible way and look forward to many more successes in the future.

More great results from Kye are sure to come, and we can’t wait to watch him in the pool again this year. Well done, Kye!

We are thrilled to announce the success of our 2nd Broken Bay Volleyball Competition held last term at Niagara Park Stadium!

Congratulations to our Open Boys team for securing 3rd place overall! Well done! Both our teams performed to a high standard, showcasing exceptional sportsmanship—a true testament to our college values.

A big round of applause to Miss Ardern for organizing such a successful event. This year, we had more entries in both girls’ and boys’ teams, making the competition even more exciting.

Special thanks to Mrs. Cannon and Mr. Philpott for coaching and supporting the teams on the day. Our students are very fortunate to have such dedicated mentors. Thank you to our year 9 student helpers on the day, we appreciate you scoring every game and assisting where needed on the day, we couldn’t have done it without your help.

It was a fantastic day, filled with enthusiasm and sportsmanship, as students enjoyed a sport that is either new to them or one, they love. Watching them achieve amazing results was truly inspiring.

We look forward to hosting this event again this year. Well done to everyone involved!

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the 24 students from Years 7-10 who assisted with the St Mary’s swimming carnival last term. Your help is pivotal on days like this, and your commitment and support are truly commendable. It is evident that our students consistently go above and beyond, representing the college with the highest standards. The younger students greatly appreciate seeing your smiling faces and familiar ones too.

We also extend our sincere thanks to all the staff involved; without your dedication and assistance, this day would not be possible. This event was a wonderful example of two communities coming together to form one big community of support and appreciation.

We would like to extend special thanks to Ms Emma Dawson from St Mary’s for her continued collaboration with St Brigid’s.

We are thrilled to share the fantastic achievements of our 13’s Girls Touch Football team, who competed at Doyalson in the Broken Bay Catholic Schools Competition last week. The girls had an incredible start to the day, winning all four of their pool matches and advancing to the semi-finals.

Every player gave their best effort, but a few standouts led the team with exceptional skill and determination. Chloe S, Tayla G, and Tayla Mc were phenomenal in attack, consistently setting up and scoring tries, showcasing their teamwork and talent.

In the semi-finals, the girls faced Stella in a nail-biting match, emerging victorious with a 4-3 win. Despite the intense heat and the toll of the day’s games, they displayed immense heart and resilience in the final against Mount St Benedict. Although they narrowly lost 3-1, their performance was nothing short of inspiring.

Additionally, our boys’ team had a great day, showing tremendous effort and sportsmanship. Although it wasn’t their day in terms of results, their hard work and determination were evident throughout the competition.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Underwood for his invaluable assistance with coaching and training the teams during lunchtimes and inflame sessions. His dedication and support have been instrumental in the teams’ success.

To our student referees, thank you for your help on the field. We know you stepped out of your comfort zones, and we truly appreciate the time you took from your busy Year 12 schedules to assist with this event. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

The girls and boys should be extremely proud of how they represented themselves and the College.

Here are some photos of the Friday House Challenges that the students have been competing in the last two weeks. The teachings also joined in.

It is always great seeing everyone getting involved and having fun.

We thank our creative house advocates for coming up with exciting and interesting games each week.

We are thrilled to announce that Seth T has won the 2024 Australia Junior Nationals Championship in the 85cc 12-14 years category! This incredible achievement makes Seth a 2× Australian Champion!

Seth’s dedication, hard work, and passion for the sport have truly paid off. We couldn’t be prouder of his outstanding performance and the determination he has shown throughout the competition.
