Congratulations to the overall winning House of the 2020 swimming carnival, Thrones. Despite being challenged in every category all the way to the end by Doms House, Thrones managed to come away with not only the overall swim carnival win but they also secured the House Spirit Award based on their efforts during the day that caught the eye of the judges, so well done to Thrones.

Before closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all students that were involved in the day and offered their help and support in some way, whether it have been to other students and or staff. It never goes unnoticed and its always appreciated. And a big thank you to all the staff involved, it is always a big staff effort that’s required to make these types of days possible and help them run as smoothly as they can.

 

2020 Swim carnival was a great day all round. So this will set the tone for a wonderful year for all the carnivals to come.

Rowing

Fifteen St Patrick’s College students participated in the ‘Learn to Row’ program over the past few weeks.  For anyone who missed the Rowing Information Evening at Ignatius Park College on Wednesday 2nd March, please contact Tracy Klaassen, the three College’s Rowing coordinator at rowing@ipc.qld.edu.au for a Rowing Handbook and further information. 

Netball

The St Patrick’s Senior Netball Club team started off the season with enthusiasm and determination taking a win for both games played during this grading period. From the very beginning the girls gelled extremely well together on court especially considering they have not played together yet. The attacking end worked together well in the ring, reading off each other and shooting accurately, while the mid-court worked extremely well, working hard when driving for the ball and feeding the ball effectively into the attacking end. Defense worked amazing, going for almost every rebound and with strong defensive pressure we were able to get a few turn arounds. This is an excellent sign for a successful season ahead. 

 

Volleyball

Congratulations to our Year 11/12 Volleyball players who finished the block sport season undefeated!
