I often think that the sports teacher has the luckiest position in the school, and yesterday was a perfect example of why. We had an amazing day at Narooma pool, where our band of St Pat's kids made us all proud. Their parents and school can stand tall knowing that their efforts have paid off.

I'm thrilled to announce that we have 14 students moving forward to the Archdiocesan Carnival that will be held in a few weeks. All our relay teams placed, and all students were persistent and tried their best with some personal best times being recorded.

At the end of the carnival, we were thrilled to hear that Austin Lay was named Junior Boy Champion. Great effort, Austin! Congratulations and well done to everyone on the team.

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many parents and grandparents who made the trip to support their children, and to those who helped with the running of the day.

Best of luck to Isabella, Thea, Austin, Macey, Bailee, Levi, Henry, Mia, Ava, Tilly, Tommy, Liam, Scarlett, and Indi as they move on to Boorowa.

In other sports news:

Levi Dale has been selected for the combined Wollongong, Canberra Goulburn AFL team. Levi had a busy start to the year, traveling to Wollongong for trials on Tuesday, and then heading to Narooma for the swimming competition. He will now travel to Wagga Wagga for the next selection process. Well done, Levi!

We have only been back for 3 weeks, but Will Nicholson has already been travelling the countryside. This week he travels to Maitland to trial for the NSW cricket team. This is an extremely high level of competition, and we are so proud of Will.
