Sport

During the school holiday’s four of our Year 10 students travelled to Gunnedah to participate in a Basketball NSW Indigenous Basketball Camp and 3×3 competition.

Well done to Max I, Sam L, Dom S and Riley M for your effort and sportsmanship you displayed during the camp and competition.

A day at St Brigid’s

On Tuesday we held our annual Year 6 Taster Day where we had approximately 150 students from 12 of our local primary schools. The Year 6 students participated in a range of activities including experiments in Science, guitar and drums in Music, designing a keyring and making mini pizza’s in Technology and finally some practical PDHPE and Sport.  Students also got a taste of our “Friday House Challenge”.

We hope the students enjoyed the day and got a “taste” of some of the things we offer at the College.

Please contact the College on (02) 4358 4278, or email stbrigids@dbb.catholic.edu.au with any enrolment enquiries.

Please join us in congratulating Jerome P of Year 10.  On Wednesday Jerome trailed for the Under 16 Boys Rugby Union Catholic Schools NSW team along with over 100 other students.  Jerome was successful in these trials and was announced as the team’s Starting Prop.  We are so pleased for Jerome and his accomplishment; Jerome is the first St Brigid’s student to make this team.  We look forward to watching and hearing more about your progress on the CSNSW Under 16 Union team. Well done!

Last week at the Combined High Schools Sailing Championship held at Belmont. Our student Emily H, Isaac A, Lucy L and Samuel D sailed in a total of 8 races over 4 days. The St Brigid’s Catholic College team came 4th. This is a really good achievement for these young sailors and their individual results too are just as amazing.

Emily H sailed a F18 and placed 3rd in division 3, Isaac A sailed a ILCA 6 and placed 3rd in division 2,  Lucy L sailed a ILCA 6 and placed 2nd Laser class and 3rd in division 2, Sportsperson trophy.  Samuel D sailed a Open Skiff and came 5th in the Open Skiff class.
