Director of Sport and Co-curricular

It has been an extremely busy but very productive Term 3 here at Santa Sabina College Sport and Co-curricular Activities.

On Saturdays, we have seen four Basketball, two Hockey, five Football, 25 Netball and two Junior Touch Football teams showing pride while representing the College at the ERNA, IGSA and IPSHA Competitions. 

On Fridays, our Chess masters have been also representing the College at the IGSA Competition and five of our Badminton Teams have been playing in the Meriden Invitational Competition.

I am pleased to say that a number of our teams have a very good chance of playing in the IGSA finals and 18 of our 25 Netball teams are playing in the ERNA Netball Finals.

I was also very happy to watch our dancers at the Dancelife Unite on Friday last week (23 August) at the University of NSW Science Theatre. Ms Williams and her team of coaches deliver a great program not only displaying great performances but letting our students represent the College with all their hearts on the stage.

Our Co-curricular Clubs have been running successfully this term with Fencing (Years 5-12) being a highlight as the students are absolutely loving it!

I would like to make a special mention of our Senior Athletics team who competed at the CGSSSA Athletics Carnival on 16 August.

I congratulate the students and the relay teams on the list here.

In summary we had two records broken (Caitilin Brennan 17 years 400m) and Ava Cetnic (Triple Jump 12-15 Years) as well as five x 1sts, 13 x 2nds and 13 x 3rd places across track and field events.

This week our students took part in the Stage 2 Primary Soccer Gala Day on Tuesday 27 August, the NSWCCC Netball Championships in Penrith on Wednesday 28 August and Senior NSW Volleyball Schools Cup Championships across the week. On Friday our dancers are participating in the CGSSSA (Senior School) Dance competition.

Netball

Santa Sabina Junior, Intermediate and Senior Teams enjoyed playing in the NSWCCC Netball Championships at Jamison Park, Penrith yesterday. It was a great day of local competition from Monte, Rosebank and Mt St Benedict and from far flung schools from Leeton, Dubbo, Forbes and Bathurst.
