From the Secondary Sport Coordinator

The first three rounds of the SACSSGSA Term 1 Sport season have got off to a flying start! A reminder that there are no games this Saturday 9 March, due to the long weekend. Trainings and games will recommence the following week.

blue round

On Saturday 24 February, Catholic Girls schools came together for Blue Round. This important fixture date aims to promote Mental Health awareness in our schools and community. Teams come together in a variety of sporting fixtures to play, compete, and do their best.  It’s about encouraging and caring for your friends and going that extra mile to make everybody feel included and valued. Players, spectators and coaches wore Blue to raise awareness, and at St Aloysius College, volleyballers from schools across Adelaide exchanged notes of support and kindness before engaging in games.
