🥉🎾Congratulations to our Year 4 tennis team

🥉🎾Congratulations to our Year 4 tennis team 🥉🎾 Molly A, Sadie L, Ella M, Amelie S, Eden V-W, Charlie R, Raph T, Nick B, and Alex M - who secured 3rd place at the Todd Woodbridge Cup State Finals at Sydney Olympic Park on Monday 18th November.

The Todd Woodbridge Cup is a prestigious primary school competition for Stage 2 students. Our team first triumphed in the zone event, advanced through the regional playoffs, and ultimately competed in the state championship on Monday. Out of around 8,000 students participating in the zone rounds, only 24 schools from NSW and the ACT earned a spot in the State Finals.

Our St Cecilia's team won their pool, earning a place in the semi-finals. They played a tough, hard-fought match but narrowly lost to a school from Kangaroo Valley. This marks the third year in a row that a Stage 2 team from St Cecilia's has reached the State Finals and the first time we’ve advanced to the semi-finals.

The legendary Todd Woodbridge himself attended the semi-final match and took the time to speak with the team after the game, offering his congratulations. A huge congratulations to all the players for their outstanding effort and sportsmanship throughout this exciting competition!

"I loved playing in the Todd Woodbridge tournament because I got to play as a team with my friends and represent the school. We got to the semis and met Todd Woodbridge. Bryanne is the best coach she uplifted and supported us the whole way from round one to state finals. I also just love tennis and want to play any spare moment I have". Raph T. Year 4

On Friday we celebrated the feast day of our Patro

On Friday we celebrated the feast day of our Patron Saint, St Cecilia with a lovely community Mass, presided by Fr John The Catholic Community of North Harbour. St Cecilia is regarded as the patroness of music because she heard heavenly music in her heart when she was married and encouraged musicians to find God in their music. She was known for helping others develop their faith through music. St Cecilia is represented in art with an organ or organ pipes in her hand. It was wonderful to hear all our students voices in song at the Mass, Fr John, staff and parents were so complimentary. Thank you all for joining with us to celebrate her joyous occasion! #StCecilia #stceciliasbalgowlah #catholicschoolsbrokenbay

Today, we celebrate the feast day of St Cecilia, our patron saint. To prepare for this special day, on Thursday afternoon the students completed some special activities learning about St Cecilia in their peer support sessions with Stage 3 students. There were lots of questions about St Cecilia's love of music and dance and how she encouraged other musicians of her time to create music as a way to find God.

👨🏻‍🏫 Principal for a Day 👨🏻‍🏫 - the highly sought after prize in our annual Gala Fundraiser event this year. Mr Sam C, of Year 1 was the lucky student who enjoyed the role of Principal for the day and what a magnificent leader he turned out to be! Mr C spent the day visiting classrooms, handing out awards and helping in the office with a number of duties. Here is a summary of his day in his own words:

"Today I was Principal for the day, and I gave out stickers. And I got to have a photo with the people who got stickers. And me and Ms O’Brien went to the local cafe 'Charlotte’s' with my friend, William. After that we set up the church. And helped Mr Mooney and Miss Bullman. (And Miss Bullman got a new locker). I gave out awards on assembly. I chose Year 1W to leave assembly first."
