Term 1 Highlights

Students from Years 4 to 6 proudly represented our school in the SAPSASA East Adelaide District swimming trials held in Week 6. All swimmers gave commendable performances, with Elizabeth Ho achieving a fantastic 3rd place finish in the 50m Butterfly.

Meanwhile, students in Years 3 to 5 showcased their talents at the Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival, while our Year 6 cohort took part in the SAC Swimming carnival. The day was a tremendous success, filled with excitement and numerous ribbons earned across the events.

Additionally, students participated in competitive basketball and, for the first time, indoor volleyball. Our younger learners from Reception to Year 3 enjoyed engaging ‘Come ‘n’ Try’ sessions in dance, multi-sports, and basketball, encouraging active participation and skill development.

Term 2 in Action

Our knockout netball team recently competed in their first round carnival. Although they secured one win from three matches and didn’t move on to the next round, the experience was rich in fun and learning.

Year 6 House Captains took part in the SACPSSA Leadership Day, engaging in a variety of activities designed to strengthen their leadership abilities.

Students in Years 4 to 6 also raced in the SAPSASA East Adelaide Cross Country event at Foxfield Oval. Their determination was inspiring, with every participant finishing the course with great effort. A special mention goes to Chelsea Ashfield-Smith, who placed 10th overall in her age group – an excellent achievement!

Our Year 3-6 lacrosse team competed in the SACPSSA Catholic Schools Carnival, recording two wins, one draw, and two losses. Considering they faced older opponents in a 5/6 division, this was an excellent result and valuable game experience. The team continues to play each Saturday morning.

Currently, our Year 5/6 students are participating in netball and enjoying fitness activities. Reception to Year 3 students are also enthusiastically involved in gymnastics, soccer, and lacrosse as part of their ongoing ‘Come ‘n’ Try’ experiences.

• Round 1 of the 12-a-side Knockout AFL and Soccer competitions
