Sport and Co-curricular activities never stop here at Santa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had some big challenges with the weather but our students showed how proud they are in representing the College even sometimes under the most adverse conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to congratulate our netballers, dancers and athletics representatives for the recent outstanding results and I also would like to acknowledge the effort that every single Santa student and parent places into College Representation in all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe the weather will contribute to a very exciting morning of Saturday sport this coming Saturday, but I would love to thank the whole of our community for all the help and support towards what I am very passionate about: facilitation of Sport and Co-curricular activities setting our students up to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After being washed out for two weeks in a row, our netballers finally got the opportunity to take the court again for Round 15 and semi finals.  I\u2019m pleased to report that every team played in true Santa spirit and produced some of their best netball to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have eight teams \u2013 SSC01, SSC02, SSC09, SSC11, SSC15, SSC19, SSC22 and SSC25 \u2013 that have progressed to finals on 30 August and SSC16 who have moved straight to grand finals on 6 September.  Congratulations to all our teams on such a successful season so far at IWNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations also go to Arianna Harris who was awarded her National C badge in Round 15, well done Arianna. Several of our umpires were allocated semi finals matches which is a testament to how hard they have all worked to sharpen their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a big week ahead of us with the Saint of Origin Netball clash against St Pat\u2019s this Wednesday 27 August, held on the senior courts from 3:30pm.  The Junior netball presentation will also be held on the senior courts on Thursday 28 August from 3:30-5:00pm with a parent v daughter friendly match starting at 3:45pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally after being washed out last week, SSC02, SSC05, SSC08 and SSC15 will be participating in the NSWCCC Netball Championships in Penrith. We wish all four teams the very best of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representative Dance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our dancers have had busy weekends over the last few weeks, between DanceSpec at Abbotsleigh, to Dancelife Unite at UNSW and our Years 1-6 representative dancers at the Sydney Opera House for the Sydney Eisteddfod, they have been very busy! A highlight is the Sydney Eisteddfod at the Sydney Opera House, which is our biggest eisteddfod of the year with sections of up to 33 groups in each! It is a wonderful experience for our dancers who graced the stage with energy and enthusiasm, no matter the result. With two more competitions left this season, we are extremely proud of their continual outstanding results as well as not only their commitment, but also their families commitment to the program. Our dance community is very special and the support each team shows at competitions is outstanding. See our results below for our most recent eisteddfods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
