St Catherine’s Sports Day

On Friday 24 November, we ventured out to Casey Fields athletics carnival for the first time. The stands were a sea of red, blue, green and gold. The students competed in sprints, discus, shot put, long jump and mini hurdles. It was a joy to watch all the students competing to their best abilities and enjoying themselves on the day. The day concluded with our year 6 400m championship race which was a highlight. 

The day couldn’t have happened without the support of the entire St Catherine’s staff and parent volunteers. I thank you all for your enthusiasm and assistance. We look forward to heading back to Casey Fields in 2024!

Well done to all the students in Regan Red who won the St Catherine’s sports day for the second year in a row!

Yesterday 8 St Catherine’s students from year 6 and one from year 5 represented the school at the All StAR Girls State Finals for Hooptime. The girls got off to a brilliant start winning their first game and worked together well in all areas. The next few games the girls came up against some tough opposition which made things difficult for them. To the girls’ credit they rebounded for the last game to go down narrowly. 

I couldn’t have been more proud of how far the girls have come. Making the State finals means that they finished in the top 20 of 300 schools in Victoria! What a fantastic achievement by the girls! It was great fun coaching them and watching them develop as a team. A big thankyou to all the parents that came and helped with scoring and photos. I’m sure Hoop Time will be a great memory for all the girls involved.
