On Thursday, the 16th of October, the Catholic School Cricket Gala Day was held at Myimbarr Community Park. Some beautiful conditions on the day allowed for all students to develop and showcase their skills and have fun with their friends. All students demonstrated great sportsmanship and camaraderie throughout the day. A big thanks again to our parent volunteers, Mrs Lewis, Mr Healey & Mrs Creighton for managing teams on the day. Another thanks to our teaching staff, Mrs Sanchez and Mrs Norris, for your assistance on the day as well as Mr Smith for the organisation and coordination of the event.

SPORT PATHWAY FOR MULTICLASS STUDENTS 

Please view the following website for further information on Multiclass sporting opportunities.

https://csnsw.sport/students-with-disability/student-with-disabilities-links/multi-class

The Multiclass Pathway is for students with a physical or intellectual disability. Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country provide Multiclass events and provide a pathway for students in the school system. Students will need to have a classification in order to progress through the sports pathway as a multiclass athlete. This can take some time to organise so if you are considering this option for your child, please act as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please see Mrs Sablowski.
