Jerome P in Year 10 represented the NSW Waratahs in a recent Super Rugby championship.  His team has won 4 from 4 and Jerome has been a pivotal player in securing these wins.  He plays in Canberra this weekend.

We can’t wait to see where Rugby takes you, Jerome.  Well done.

The College would like to congratulate Zach M of Year 7 and a member of The Lakes Surf Club, on his recent selection in the Central Coast Interbranch Team 2023.  Zach and his teammates will compete in the NSW Interbranch Championships early December at Fingal Bay.

We wish Zach all the very best for the upcoming Interbranch Championships

Well done to Bailey P-K in Year 8 who after just returning to Motocross after a couple of years off placed 1st and 2nd in his grade in two of the minikhana events in the NSW State Cup.

To make this achievement even more impressive, Bailey has just moved up to a Yamaha 125 from a 110 and it was only the second time he had ridden this bike.

Congratulations, Bailey.

Our Golf Inflame group did not let the rain stop them this week.  They all still had a great time practising their swings and distance at Doyalson Springs Golf Range.

Here are a few photos from their session.

Congratulations to Harry B in Year 7 who made the 2023 NSW surfing state team and attended the surfing NSW High Performance Camp last week.

St. Brigid’s Catholic College recently convened the inaugural CSBB indoor volleyball tournament at Niagara Park.  Under the expert guidance of Rebecca Ardern and Natasha McFadden, the event was a great success.

Our year 10 and 11 students displayed exceptional determination and sportsmanship, making us proud with their outstanding efforts in an open division.

St Brigid’s is looking forward to hosting this event again next year.

Special thanks to Mrs. Foo and Mrs. Cohen for coaching the teams on the day, and to Mrs. Cannon and our student helpers, Zali, Ella, and Sienna, for their help on the day.

Our junior boy’s rugby union team headed off to the Northern Beaches this week.  Another great day in sport for our students.  Taking to the field after participating in a skills and drill season hosted by NSW Rugby Union.

The boys had a good day and adapted well to playing rugby union, the team was made up of rugby league players and I believe this did show at times.  With smiles all round, the boy’s and coaches headed back to school without a win.  Thanks Mr Devlin and Miss Ardern for taking the boys and making it a day to remember.

The Broken Bay Surf Lifesaving event never disappoints, a day at Terrigal Beach with a great bunch of kids is always a good day out.  On Tuesday we took 14 students to this event and had some success on the beach and in the water.  Congratulations to the following students who placed:

Majestik F – 2nd Junior Beach Flags and Sprit final

Kye Mc – 2nd Junior Sprint

Zach M – 1st Junior Board, 3rd Junior Ironman and 5th in the Swim

We had Evie S place 5th in the Junior Beach Flags and final of the Junior Sprint.  Both Lily T and Zali Mc made the Intermediate Sprit final and Zali, placed 4th and Lily 5th in the intermediate flags.  Great results from students who have never competed in a surf lifesaving carnival.

Zach was super keen to get into as many water events as possible and made combined teams for the board relay with St Paul’s and St Peter’s placing 4th.  He placed 6th in a combined Taplin event with St Edwards and Kobi G from St Brigid’s.

Thank you to Mr Philpott for watching the students in the water events and Ms Paliskis for taking on the role as shoreline water safety.  A big day for all involved and we appreciate your time and support at these events. Special thanks to Lakes Beach SLSC for their continued support.  They are always happy to let our students participate in this event and use their equipment.  We love the relationship we have with The Lakes Beach Surf Club.

We say this often, but our students really do get in and have a good go! Watching the students show each other how an event is done, cheering on the sidelines, and showing confidence in mixing with other schools.  This is a real testament to our students and the College.  They have passion, and a will to be involved, and they do it with pride.  Well done to all in the surf lifesaving team 2023.

Our Stage 5 PASS students have been taking advantage of the nice weather playing softball on the bottom oval.

It’s always great seeing our students outside and having fun.
