A thriving term of Sport and co‑curricular excellence

As we move into the exciting final stretch of the term, it has been truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm, commitment, and school spirit radiating from our students across all Sports and Co‑curricular activities. Their dedication is shaping a term filled with achievement, teamwork and unforgettable moments.

One of the standout highlights has undoubtedly been our Swimming Carnival at SOPAC. The atmosphere was electric as our community came together – not only to celebrate outstanding performances in the pool, but also to cheer each other on with the kind of encouragement that makes our College so special. It was a powerful reminder that our students are each other’s greatest supporters.

Our Saturday Sport teams have also been thriving. Students are training with determination throughout the week and bringing that hard work to life on the weekend with impressive performances and strong team camaraderie.

The energy doesn’t stop there. Our Dance auditions saw fantastic participation, and our Netball trials for the IWNA Competition in Terms 2 and 3 have been buzzing with excitement – over 220 students put their hands up to represent the College. Meanwhile, our Representative Volleyball trials are well underway, with more than 100 students preparing for their final selection day this Thursday. The level of interest and passion across all activities has been extraordinary.

I could not be prouder of our students, nor more grateful for the dedicated College staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Our Sports Office team, in particular, has been deeply committed to ensuring every student finds their place – whether that’s discovering a new passion, building confidence or striving for excellence in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Together, we are creating opportunities, celebrating growth and fostering a community where every student can shine.

Stop press – All Schools Triathlon win today!

There were outstanding results from our athletes who won the NSW All Schools Triathlon Junior Championship today! Representing NSWCCC (which they also won) through our CGSSSA affiliation, Alessandra Ronsisvalle, Freya Ingwersen and Charlotte McCarthy delivered an incredible performance, winning the Junior Team Triathlon by an impressive 3 minutes and 24 seconds!

Yesterday, Charlotte and Freya also shone in their individual events, both earning places to represent NSW at the 2026 School Sport Australia Championships on the Gold Coast – Freya for Triathlon and Charlotte for Aquathon.

Individual results:

  • Charlotte (Aquathon): 4th overall (NSW All Schools), 2nd in NSW Catholic Schools
