Their dedication is shaping a term filled with achievement, teamwork and unforgettable moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout highlights has undoubtedly been our <strong>Swimming Carnival at SOPAC<\/strong>. The atmosphere was electric as our community came together \u2013 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\u2019s greatest supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The energy doesn\u2019t 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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u2013 whether that\u2019s discovering a new passion, building confidence or striving for excellence in a supportive and nurturing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we are creating opportunities, celebrating growth and fostering a community where every student can shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop press \u2013 All Schools Triathlon win today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u2013 Freya for Triathlon and Charlotte for Aquathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charlotte (Aquathon): 4th overall (NSW All Schools), 2nd in NSW Catholic Schools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freya (Triathlon): 4th overall (NSW All Schools), 3rd in NSW Catholic Schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Huge congratulations to our incredible athletes \u2013 your dedication and spirit make us so proud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-691x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-691x1024.jpeg 691w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-202x300.jpeg 202w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-768x1139.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-1036x1536.jpeg 1036w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1-101x150.jpeg 101w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_0521-1.jpeg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Luiz Ramalho&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Director of Sport and Co\u2011Curricular Activities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary Sport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sydney Catholic Schools Conference 2 Swimming Championships<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Well done to the following students who competed at the Sydney Catholic Schools Conference 2 Swimming Championships on Tuesday 10 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Lina Park&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Peggy Peng&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Audrey Tita<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Samuel Van Hore&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Chloe Cruz&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Romee Lee&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Georgia Hall&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Cindy Zheng&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Sophia Guo&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Sabina produced some amazing results on the day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Romee Lee \u2013 six individual Gold medals (breaking four records)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sophia Guo \u2013 one individual Silver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Georgia Hall \u2013 two individual Bronze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chloe Cruz \u2013 one individual Bronze<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations also to the Senior Girls Relay team (Romee, Sophia, Georgia and Cindy) who also finished with a Gold Medal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These five students will now compete at the Sydney Championships on 23 March.
