Football

Congratulations to Sarah Farrow who was named as a shadow player for the NSWCIS Open Football Team. Sarah competed at the NSWCIS Football Championships which showcased a very high level of football skill and ability. Sarah will now be on standby in the event of any injuries in the lead up to the NSW All Schools Championships.

For those students wishing to work on their football skills and aspire to reach the levels of Sarah there will be a holiday clinic run by some of our senior football coaches in the holidays. 

Wheelchair Sports

Well done to Coco Espie in Year 7 who took part in a promotional video put together to promote more women to participate in wheelchair sports. The video is called “How I Roll” and sung by Casey Donovan.

Here is an informative article about involvement in wheelchair sports that I thought many people would find interesting to read.

We look forward to seeing more of Coco in her racing chair during the athletics season.

Armidale Netball and Hockey Sports Tour

Good luck to the 28 students who will be heading to Armidale next Thursday to compete in the PLC Armidale Invitational Netball and Hockey Carnival.

We are all very excited and can’t wait to watch our teams in action despite the weather forecast of snow in Armidale!
