School Sport with Mrs. Linda Walsh
Jump Rope for Heart
While we are sad that our Brumbies Rugby sessions have come to end with Ronnie, we will now be busy participating in the Jump Rope for Heart Program in weeks 5-9. Students will be busy learning how to skip and perform various skills. This will conclude on Friday, 19th September with a Skip-a-thon and a gold coin donation for the Heart Foundation.
Cricket Sampling Program
Next Wednesday 23rd August, St Mary’s will be getting a visit from Cricket NSW. We are delighted to participate in a unique Cricket sampling program, which is part of Cricket NSW's Country Blitz initiative.
The Country Blitz is an exciting program aimed at promoting cricket across all regional areas. It brings together approximately 30 talented players from the prestigious NSW Blues and Breakers Cricket squads and potentially Sydney Thunder W/BBL teams, who will be visiting schools to introduce students to the wonderful world of cricket.
By participating in this program and engaging with these professional players, our students will have an exceptional chance to be inspired and develop their interest and skills in cricket. Kinder to Year 6 will be taking part in the sessions, and students are to wear their full school sports uniform on Wednesday to participate. We can’t wait to see who turns up!
