SJPC New sporting uniforms

At this week’s assembly, we had the pleasure of revealing some of our new College Sport Representative uniforms to staff and students. The new design provides a modern professional look, ensuring our students are well equipped to represent the College with pride. Of particular note is the wonderful Tree of Life design which is positioned directly opposite our College crest on the left hand side of all uniforms. This emblem is meant to encapsulate our connection to and pride in the role our College has within the Gumbaynggirr Nation. “Together We Learn On Gumbaynggirr Land.”

Good luck

• We wish our athletes attending the CCC Swimming Championships at Homebush on Monday 29 March all the best, including our Junior boys 4 x 50m relay team. Good luck to Jaxon White, Liliana Marle, Cooper Andrews, Riley Andrews, Ethan Dawson, Jacob Pratt and Alexander Main.
• India Flanders, Ruby Flanders and Jaxon White head to Nelson Bay on Wednesday to compete as part of the Diocesan Touch Football teams. Students have the opportunity to be selected in the CCC teams from this competition. We wish them all the best.

Congratulations

Connor Hennessy (Year 11) travelled to Bathurst for the NSW All Schools Championships as a member of the Open Male Tennis Team. Due to the weather conditions, only one game was played before it was cancelled. This is disappointing as this is the third and final year that Connor is eligible to play. We congratulate him for his  consistently high achievements in school tennis.

Mia Blackett (Year 10) was recently named as a member of the 12 person Regional Emerging Talent U17 Netball Team. Not only is this special as Mia had to undergo rigorous trials and training sessions over many months and many visits to Sydney, but she is also the first Coffs Harbour resident to ever be selected. Well done, Mia!

Alexandra Harrison (Year 12) has once again eclipsed the competition in High Jump, receiving a Silver medal in the recent NSW Junior Athletics Championships. Alexandra jumped in the U20 division and only finished second on a count back, jumping the same height as the Gold Medalist. Awesome work, Alexandra!

With the inability to leave campus this week for sport, a number of Year 8 girls were unable to complete their OSSA mission and so have not been awarded their OSSA. It is intended that those who missed out on doing the task will have the opportunity to do their Mission at the start of Term 4, when the boys are doing their theory and times swim. More details regarding this will be forthcoming as we near Term 4.
