Dendy Swimming Carnival
What a beautiful day it was last Monday for the Dendy Swimming Carnival at GESAC. There was a wonderful team spirit at the St Pat's tent as our competitors from Years 4, 5 and 6 cheered each other on tirelessly throughout the day. Congratulations to our students who 'had a go' for the first time and also our more experienced swimmers. Special mention to Lily C, Grace H (freestyle) and Alice M (butterfly) who qualified for the upcoming Beachside Division Swimming Carnival. We wish the girls luck!
MFC Year 4 Clinic
On Tuesday
the Year 4’s had a fun time because the Melbourne Football Club came to St
Pat’s. We were very excited and happy. The players who came were Christian
Salem, Billy Stretch, Corey Maynard and Anna Teague from the Women’s team. We
got to practice our handballing, kicking and marking. We also got to ask
questions like:
What is it
like to be a footy player?
How often do
you have to train and what do you do at training?
What is life
like outside of football?
We hope that
the Melbourne Football Club can come back to St Pat’s again because we loved
the clinic. Thanks Mrs Barclay for organizing the clinic for us.
(Marco P 4V on behalf of the Year 4’s)
