As we prepare for Term 3 being very busy as usual I would nonetheless like to take a moment to welcome Mr Daniel Marques to the team at the College Sports Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in School Sport in the Primary and Senior domains as well as boys and girls schools. He has already been making a difference working with Mr Dunlop in the facilitation of Junior School Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about Junior Sport, the IPSHA Boys Years 3 and 4 Football is up and running with our coaches doing a great job nurturing the boys\u2019 passion for Football and developing them as players and athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the round played here at the College on Saturday, SAN02 (Years 3 and 4) had a great win over King\u2019s where great Football was played alongside with great sportsmanship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well done boys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s been great news this week regarding the Year 7\/8 Oztag team \u2013 they were runners up at the 2025 NSW Regional OzTag Championships in Bass Hill.

      Netball @ IWNA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Saturday 31 May was not only the midpoint of our first regular season at Inner West but also our first opportunity to run the BBQ and Cake Stall.\u00a0The day was a huge success and I couldn\u2019t have done it without the help of the entire Santa netball community.\u00a0Some of you truly went out of your way, collecting extra bread rolls, replacing gas bottles and baking beyond expectations.\u00a0I am very pleased to announce that we raised just over $6,000 and that all proceeds will go towards our umpire and coaching pathways, our grass roots and representative programs and our junior presentation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A special mention also goes out to the Psirakis family who very generously donated the sausages for the BBQ.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      THANK YOU<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In other news, umpire Olivia Pisani was awarded her National C badge in Round 5 and Isabella Kelly further honed her umpiring skills at the Baulkham Hills Representative Carnival on Sunday 25 May.  Well done ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
