Cross Country

Our apologies for the delayed notice. We now have confirmation that the Cross Country can go ahead on Friday, 4th April at the Cootamundra Golf Course. We will be based at the Country Club Oval. 

Students need to be at the oval by 8:50. If students catch a bus, they can get off at Cootamundra High School, and a staff member will be there to walk them across the road to the oval. If students need to be dropped at school, we can shuttle them to the Country Club oval with our school's minibus. 

Sports uniform is to be worn with a splash of house colours. Please remember hats, lots of water and packed lunches. 

There will be a BBQ available, and students will be bussed back to school for afternoon classes.

If parents have some time available from 9:45-12 to assist with the BBQ, or at a checkpoint, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. Please contact wendy.vankerkoerle@cg.catholic.edu.au or megan.withers@cg.catholic.edu.au . 

Thank you in advance.

Western Rugby League 

Well done to Darcy Thompson, Harvey Fitzgerald, Zane Lange and Ryder Gilles, who trialled for the Western Rugby League on Wednesday in Forbes. Approximately 90 students trialled. Ryder was chosen to play in the Possible-Probables game, unfortunately, no one was selected for the final team.

Well done on your sportsmanship and commitment.

CG Netball Championships

On Tuesday, 25 March 2025, Sacred Heart School took three teams to compete in the Canberra Goulburn Netball Championships in Canberra. Our Year 7-10 Boys team, Year 7/8 Girls team, and Year 9/10 Girls team showcased fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day.

With a total of 16 games played under the warm autumn sun, our students gave their all on the court, demonstrating skill, resilience, and great camaraderie. It was a fantastic day of competition, and all teams represented Sacred Heart with pride.
