G Day

On Friday the 9th of September, it was G Day (Grandparents and friends day). We started the day with a Mass that was supposed to be on the Basketball Court but it got rained out and so it was moved to the church. This mass was to celebrate all the special people in our lives even if they were't present on the day.


Following the mass the visitors had morning tea while the students had their recess. After morning tea, our visitors got to visit the students in their classrooms and saw what they had been doing this year. The visitors could take them to the book fair and buy them books, stationary and posters. Clifford the big red dog was visiting the classrooms throughout the day, he enjoyed meeting the friendly students of our school.


An assembly was held for all of the special visitors and each grade had to present an item. In the assembly, we shared our talents to our grandparents and friends. The choir also sang after all the grades finished. After the assembly our grandparents and friends were able to take us home.


The year 6 students were a great help on the day, they helped it run smoothly.

Cricket Representation

Wallace Marshall in Year 6 has been selected to represent the Diocese of Wollongong at Pennant Hills on the 13th of September in his chosen sport of Cricket. If Wallace is successful in this game, he will go on to represent New South Wales at a Carnival in Newcastle later this year. We wish Wallace well in the MacKillop trials.

Previously, Wallace has traveled to Lismore and Gosford to represent the Campbelltown and Camden cricket associations in his age group. Wallace has been recognised for his fast bowling ability and aggressive batting style, which have led to some outstanding results, most notably in a recent game, Wallace bowled 4 for 14 and batted 61 not out.

Wallace has aspirations to play for the Australian Cricket team in the future.
