Sport Leaders
Congratulations to Jacob, Paige, Sophie and Xavier on becoming my Sport Leaders for 2023. I look forward to working with you all and having lots of fun along the way.
Swimming
Congratulations to Abby for finishing 3rd in her freestyle event and Gus for finishing 4th in his. Gus swam a PB which is great. Nothing like a bit of healthy competition to get you moving.
Not only did the children swim against other schools, but a duck decided to get in on the action.
Thank you to Duncan and Nick for supporting the children on the day. Greatly appreciated.

Ride2SchoolDay
Friday 24th March is our RIDE2SCHOOL DAY. This is a special day to promote and develop physical activity in children, while helping the environment by cutting down on car emissions.
All St Catherine's students are invited to ride, rollerblade, scoot or simply walk to school on this day. On arrival, children will have the opportunity to complete some obstacle courses or dance at the dance station.
Fresh fruit will be available, kindly donated by Woolworth's Brighton.
All St Catherine's students who are present on the day, will receive a lucky ticket and go into a draw to win a bike. This has been kindly donated by Sam Hartrick from Hartrick Property who will attend this event and draw the raffle.
Those children who come by car, of course join in the fun on arrival.
All toddlers are welcome as well.
Our Ride2School Day will commence from 8.30 - 9.15/9.30
