Diocesan Cross Country Selection Trials

Due to inclement weather, the Diocesan Cross Country Championships scheduled for Monday 26th of May were unfortunately cancelled. In place of the event, a special Selection Trial was held for elite cross country athletes to determine representatives for the upcoming NSWCCC Championships.

St Francis Catholic College was proudly represented by six students who took part in the trial, held at the Illawarra Criterium Track. We are delighted to announce that Lucas M (Year 8) was successful in his selection and will go on to represent both the College and the Diocese at the NSWCCC Cross Country Championships on Wednesday 11th of  June.

We congratulate Lucas on this outstanding achievement and wish him all the very best for the upcoming competition.

NSW All Schools Swimming Championships

On Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd of May, two of our talented students proudly represented St Francis Catholic College and the Diocese at the NSW All Schools Swimming Championships, held at the prestigious Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Violet V (Year 7) took on the challenge of the 12–14 Years 200m Butterfly, placing 8th in a highly competitive field. It was an impressive effort and a wonderful achievement for her first appearance at this level.

Accalia A (Year 10) also had a fantastic meet, competing in multiple events in the 16 & Over Girls Multi-Class category. Her results were outstanding:

• 6th in the 100m Freestyle
• 5th in the 50m Freestyle
• 5th in the 50m Backstroke
• 5th in the 100m Backstroke

We are extremely proud of both Violet and Accalia for their commitment, sportsmanship, and determination. Representing the College and Diocese at a state-level competition is a tremendous accomplishment, and both students should be congratulated on their success.

Well done, girls!
