Outstanding Sporting Achievements
Over the past two weeks, a number of our students have excelled in the sporting arena.
Ruby Flanders (Year 7) played in the indigenous team at the QLD All Nations Touch football tournament recently. Her team was undefeated throughout the rounds, going down in the Final to the very fast team from Scotland. Congratulations to Ruby on this wonderful achievement.
Three of our athletes attended the NSW All Schools Athletics Championships last weekend in Sydney:
Alexandra Harrison (Year 11) placed first in the 17+ High Jump with an impressive leap of 1.75m and only narrowly missed 1.8m. Once again, Alexandra has attained a remarkable result.
Harrison Colyer (Year 9) competed in the 1500m and 3000m 16 yrs boys. He finished 10th in the 3000m and made the finals in the 1500m, placing 9th. An outstanding result.
Nathan Zawadki (Year 12) competed in the 17+ boys 100m and 200m events. His results were excellent, finishing 11th in the 200m with a time of 23.2sec and 8th in the 400 final, running 51.4sec.

Thank you
Throughout the year, we rely on many of the local community facilities to provide flexible and enjoyable activities. Not only do we rely on the big venues such as the Big Banana, The Coffs Harbour Memorial Pool and Club 300 Ten Pin Bowling, but also some of the more specialised and smaller facilities like C4 Martial Arts, the Coffs Harbour Lifeguards, Sherwood Archery, Coffs Squash and Pool Centre, Coffs Futsal, Sawtell Tennis , Boambee Stand Up Paddle Boarding and the Coffs Golf Driving range. If you get the chance during the holidays, please try to support one or more of these venues. Additionally, Newcomes buses provide wonderful and valued support of SJPC sport.
Special thanks to the Development Officers and devoted sports lovers who came to the College to deliver high quality sporting programs to our students. Craig Little (Volleyball), Jay Guthrie (Cricket) and Garry Stevenson (NRL) spearheaded their teams of people who worked closely with our staff and students to make sport a valuable experience for all. Please watch out for their holiday camps and out-of-school sporting competitions as they evolve in 2021.
Finally, from Tanya Slaviero, Hunter Flanders and myself, we would like to wish you all a holy and blessed Christmas and a safe holiday.
