AFL K-2 Skills Day and GWS Visit

 Last week the GWS AFL team came to visit the students. Kinder to Year 2 participated in a variety of skills with our Year 6 leaders leading the groups.

In the afternoon Primary classes thoroughly enjoyed meeting the players and having a kicking session with them. Thank you to the Giants for visiting and making the students day.

Canberra Goulburn Swimming Championships

St Bernard’s was proud to send twenty-nine amazingly talented swimmers to the Archdiocesan Swimming Carnival in Boorowa on Monday 3 March. Indiana A, Charlie M, Eva H, Beatrix F, Taj P, Ethan S ,Harlo P, Isaac R, Liam C, Astrid B, Cali Z, Winter W, Annabelle T, Hudson A, Toby S, Raph C, Jacob B, Polly B, Sally S, Van C, Hendrix P, Jacob B, Mia B, Willow B, James P, Brooklyn S, Charlotte F & Jace T.

The students displayed great skill to reach this level of competition as well as the most important quality of good sportsmanship. At Archdiocesan level the students compete against all other Catholic schools in the Archdiocese as far west as Lake Cargelligo and West Wyalong as far north as Goulburn all the way down to the Victorian boarder.  They had a fantastic day and were very successful in matching or beating their personal best times. For some of our students this was their first time competing at Archdiocesan level and the competition and atmosphere was inspiring even though there were a few nervous butterflies.

The top two competitors in each event were selected to compete at the NSW Combined Primary Schools Championships at Sydney Olympic Park on Wednesday 2 April.

Our team were amazingly successful in Boorowa, with Annabelle T, Beatrix F and Taj P selected in their individual events. Also chosen to compete at Homebush were our Senior Boys Relay team and Junior Girls Relay team who were an outstanding first in their events. Congratulations to Ethan S, Harlo P, Isaac R, Taj P, Liam C, our fantastic reserve, Astrid B, Cali Z, Winter W and Annabelle T.

Beatrix F was named 11yr Archdiocesan Champion Swimmer

Annabelle T was runner up Junior Archdiocesan Champion Swimmer
