Sporting Success

St Patrick's are proud to announce the recent sporting achievements of four Year 6 children.
Blake Archbold, Seamus Donohoe, Harry Whitfield and Pheobe Oakford have performed admirably in the sporting arena, progressing to Polding level. Blake and Seamus have been chosen as part of the Polding soccer team after successful trials at Diocesan level. Good luck boys when you attend the trials in the first week of Term 2.
Harry and Pheobe were successful in reaching Polding level for swimming. Pheobe swam in the 13 yrs 50 metre freestyle, winning a gold medal. A fantastic effort by Pheobe.
Unfortunately for Harry, he was unable to swim at the Polding carnival after  breaking his thumb training for the upcocming rugby league season. No wonder you are successful Harry, always training.
Well done and congratulations children. St Patrick's school community is very proud of you.

Seamus, Phoebe, Harry and Blake
