Sport

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.

What an incredible match we had on the last week of term 3.  The teachers and Year 12 students faced off in a thrilling volleyball game, and it was a nail-biter until the very end. The teachers emerged victorious with a close score of 11-8!

A huge shoutout to both teams for their amazing effort and sportsmanship. The students showed great skill and determination, but the teachers’ experience and teamwork ultimately led them to victory.
