ANZAC Writing Competition
On Tuesday last week we had a visit from MP Michael MCormack, Federal Member for Riverina, who came to school to present a prize in his 12th annual ANZAC writing competition.
Mr McCormack talked to our students explaining that more than 700 entries were received for this year’s competition, showcasing an amazing array of writing talent across the Riverina and Central West, with entries this year as good as any from previous years. He also mentioned this writing competition was started as a way to help younger generations appreciate the service and sacrifice of our soldiers during a time of great turmoil in the world.
He credited the students and teachers for their hard work, noting that writing is required for every part of your life and is a very important skill.
St Mary's is very happy to say that Finn Brown was the proud and deserved winner in the primary section of the competition. You will find Finn's entry in Mr McCormack's published booklet "ANZAC Day in the Riverina and Central West".
Well done Finn.
MacKillop Rugby League
On Friday the 6th of May Bobby Bryant, Jagger Lange, Nixon Loudon and Eddie Tulloch took a trip to Canberra to trial for the MacKillop Rugby League team.
The boys had an awesome day, competing against some excellent players from other schools.
Congratulations to Nixon who was selected for the MacKillop team. An amazing achievement and one Nixon has worked very hard toward. Nixon will play with the MacKillop team on Tuesday 7 - Thursday 9 June, 2022 at Parkes.
Well done Nixon.
Canberra Goulburn Cross Country
On Monday the 9th of May Canberra Goulburn held its cross country at Stromlo in the ACT.
Three of our long distance runners, Bobby Bryant, Max Cuthbertson and Billy Pettit, took to the steep hills of the Stromlo course to see if they could qualify for MacKillop Cross Country.
While the boys didn't qualify for the MacKillop trials they all ran extremely well and finished in the top half of the field. Max narrowly missed qualifying by the smallest of margins.
