We were incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding performance and enthusiastic participation at the Rugby League Gala Day in Lithgow. It was a fantastic day filled with teamwork, determination and great sportsmanship.

Our students showed incredible skill, effort, and resilience, giving their best in every match. More importantly, they played with respect and teamwork, representing our school with pride. A huge congratulations to all the players for their hard work and positive attitude! I particularly thank the students for being so inclusive of the 3 boys from St Joseph’s Portland who joined us on the day.

Many thanks to trainer Bill Holmes and parent supporters who cheered from the sidelines and helped make the day a success.
