St Joseph’s students have recently achieved success across academic and sporting competitions.
On Monday 11 August, three teams from St Joseph’s travelled to Inverell to take part in Brain Olympia, joining a total of ten teams from Warialda, Guyra, Inverell and Glen Innes. The Pink and Orange teams from St Joseph’s were awarded equal first place, while the Yellow team finished in fourth. Both winning teams will now progress to the next stage of the competition in Gunnedah on 27 August.
The school acknowledged the contribution of coach Mrs Little and the parents who supported the students on the day, saying the event would not have been possible without them.
The following day, Tuesday 12 August, St Joseph’s students travelled to Tamworth for the Armidale Diocesan Athletics Carnival. Charlotte Neville won both the 1500m — breaking the record by four seconds — and the 800m. Ivy Watson placed second in long jump and discus. Both athletes will now represent the Diocese at the Polding Trials in September at Glendale.
