SPORTS REPRESENTATION

It takes more than natural ability to be picked for a “Rep” side. Determination, commitment and a positive attitude are all important factors that determine how successful someone will be. The following students have either recently competed in a North Queensland Representative Team or will do so over the next few weeks. Congratulations to all of these girls.

Already competed:

  • Savanna Burney – Netball
  • Zara Dalton – Water polo

Soon to compete:

  • Grace Burbidge – Touch
  • Grace Kenneally – Hockey
  • Lindsay Thorley – Football (soccer)

NETBALL – MCDONALD’S CUP

St Patrick’s College Townsville fielded two teams for this event which was held over a weekend. Both teams played multiple games and really gave of their best. The teams were supported by Year 12 students, Ella Hall and Sophie Miller, but the event couldn’t have happened without Ms Dot Rush and Ms Karen Hyne.
