Representative Honours

We are thrilled to share some very exciting news! Our very own Athletics Co-ordinator, Miss Samantha Dale, has been selected to represent Australia at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Sam will be competing in the long jump. This is an incredible achievement, and we could not be prouder. We cannot wait to cheer you on as you wear the green and gold on the world stage, congratulations Miss Dale.

We are also thrilled to celebrate two of our alumni who will also be competing in Tokyo – Mackenzie Little in the javelin, and one of our K to 6 coaches, Kristie Edwards in the 200m and 4x100m relay.

The championships will be televised on SBS from Saturday 13th September, so make sure you tune in to support our athletes.

Sydney Marathon

Closer to home, Sydney was the centre of the distance running world with the Sydney Marathon becoming the seventh event in the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Alongside the marathon, supporting races include a 5km and a 10km, where two of our girls shone. Siena Cassidy (Year 4) placed second in the U12 category in the 5km event, and she is only ten years old. Anna Smart (Year 7) placed second in the 12 to 15years category in the 10km race, and Anna is only 12 years old.

Congratulations to both girls.
