SFCC's Proud Sporting Moments

2024 CSNSW Sports Aquathlon

On Thursday, 19^th December 2024, three talented SFCC students represented our school at the 2024 CSNSW Sports Aquathlon, held at Max Parker Leisure and Aquatic Centre.

The event saw Adrian L (Year 8), Isaac N (Year 7) and Nicola V (Year 7) take on the challenge of swimming 200 metres followed by running 1.8 kilometres against strong competition.

All three athletes put in an outstanding performance, with Adrian finishing 6th, Isaac 7th, and Nicola 7^th in their respective age groups after the first round.

Their dedication and determination were truly commendable, and we congratulate them on their fantastic achievements. We look forward to seeing them back in action at the 2025 event!

Diocese Swimming Carnival (West Region)

On Thursday 27th of February 16 years 3-6 students represented St Francis at the Dioscesen Swimming Carnival. All students showed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship qualities. We are so proud of them!

Ivy M (year 6) and Chelina K (Year 5) did exceptionally well.

Ivy was awarded Senior Girls bronze age champion and Chelina was awarded Junior Girls silver age champion. Both students swam well considering the ever changing weather conditions!

Chelina will be going through to the Mackillop Team Swimming Competition to represent SFCC. Amazing achievement for Chelina and we wish her the best of luck at this event!

2025 NSW Surf Life Saving AGE Championship

At the NSW Surf Life Saving State Championship, Chelina excelled in Surf (ocean swimming) competition.

She was awarded first in quarter finals, first in semi finals and 8th overall in the final out of over 140 competitors. A great achievement! She was also approached by two other surf life clubs to join their training! Chelina also made it into the quarter finals for her board race.

Wollongong Primary Netball Trials

Ivy M (year 6) and Sosefina M (year 5) travelled to Wollongong for the Diocese of Wollongong Netball Trials. Both students played very well against over 60 girls from around the Diocese. Ivy was successful in making the final team to represent Wollongong at the Mackillop trial at Canberra in May. This is the second sport Ivy has represented Wollongong for this year, representing basketball in February.
