Congratulations to the seven St Anne’s primary students who competed in Sydney at the MacKillop selection trials. The number of St Anne’s students who qualified to compete at this trial is amazing and a credit to the students and their families. Results were: Zephanie Lancaster 7th, Annabelle Gray 9th, Grace McCrone 15th, Stella Krause 1st, Quinn Crawford 10th, Ella McCrone 48th and Belle Wilesmith 52nd. Congratulations to Stella who will represent MacKillop in the multi class cross country in Sydney on the 23rd July - we wish her all the very best.
St Anne’s sent 2 teams, under 14’s and under 16’s, to the Katrins Fanning Cup Girls rugby league carnival in Cootamundra on Tuesday. In cold conditions both teams played great 9 a side footy with limited preparation. The under 16’s had 2 games going down to West Wyalong high and Sacred Heart Cootamundra. The under 14’s won through to the next level after winning 3 and their 4 games very convincingly before being beaten by Temora High 20-14. The under 14’s only had 9 players, so did very well. The under 14’s now play in the final on Wednesday 3rd July in Wagga. Congratulations to all of the girls who played, particularly the girls who are unfamiliar with league and thanks to Lou for driving the bus.
Earlier in the year, Year 9 students completed a lesson on emotional literacy. They went through discussions and reflections, unpacked what it means to be resilient. Students then went on with an activity, where teams had to build the tallest tower using plastic cups, only to have the teachers “accidently” knock them down. This challenged students resilience and coping strategies when faced with adversity and how to bounce back.
Term 2 School Fees are due 24th May.
