NSWCPS Cross Country
The NSWCPS Cross Country was held on Tuesday 8th June at Eastern Creek. Lily Graham, Archie Doyle, Sidney Maxwell and Elliot Mole attended this event. Each of these students gave their absolute best and represented themselves, St Joseph’s and the Polding team with pride. They were faced with a challenging cross country track that included various inclines and terrains of gravel, grass, concrete and mud. Lily, Archie and Sidney each took on the 2km course, while Elliot ran 3km.
All of these students did exceptionally well in their categories and placed as follows:
Archie – 8th (8-9 Years Boys)
Lily – 8th (8-9 Years Girls)
Sidney – 10th (10 Years Boys)
Elliot – 10th (11 Years Boys)
At the conclusion of each event the top 3 fastest teams of runners from each division, were awarded a medal. Both Lily’s Polding team and Elliot’s Polding team placed 1st overall.
We congratulate all of these students for their fantastic achievements!
Futsal
Our Junior Boys and Senior Girls team will participate in the State Titles Futsal Tournament on Tuesday 22nd June at Maitland Basketball Stadium, Maitland.
The day will begin at 8:45am and conclude at approximately 3pm. Parents will be responsible for transporting their children to and from the event.
During the event the children will be under the supervision of Mr Watson.
On the day, students will be required to wear full school sports uniform. Children may choose to play in either joggers or futsal boots. Shin pads are compulsory when playing. They are encouraged to wear a mouthguard if they have one, however this is not compulsory. Children should bring their own lunch/snacks for the day, water bottle and any required medication, e.g. asthma puffers.
We wish both teams all the very best for the upcoming tournament!
