Leadership Report

When it rains, it pours! And after so much rain, all the events caught up to make this week one of the busiest we have had in a long time. Thank you to the families and staff for being so flexible and supportive of the students.

On Tuesday, we had some talented athletes compete at the Diocesan Athletics Carnival in Coffs Harbour. Our students were terrific, with Courtney coming away as Age Champion. Thank you to Mrs Hurrell for the organisation that went into this day. Please see her report below.

We also had Bravehearts come to talk to our infants students about staying safe. Bravehearts is an Australian child protection organisation, solely dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. This fully funded program comes to us every year.

On Wednesday, our school hosted the annual Soccer and Netball Gala Day. What an incredible day after it was washed out last week and last year! A massive thank you to our parent volunteers for helping set up the morning and for the hours in the canteen. To our staff, especially Mrs Hurrell, for such a well-run day. To our students who made us extremely proud. To our volunteer student referees from CHHS, SJRC, SCAS and Mackillop. And of course to the Camden Haven Redbacks for supporting us with nets, goals, gear and the best sound system around.

On Thursday, 8 teams competed at Schuberts 7s, a tackle and tag football day. It was an enormous effort by Mrs Hurrell and Mrs Steep to get all those teams organised for the day. The students had so much fun and hopefully it has inspired a few to take up a new sport.

Today, we held our NAIDOC Celebrations. A massive thank you to Aunty Miranda and Miss Tracey for their organisation of the day, and to our students for such a beautiful liturgy. Thank you also to our volunteers who supported the activities throughout the day.
