Cross Country

St Thomas’ will be holding its annual cross country event for all students on Thursday 1st April at the College Ovals. Students are currently training for this event and have been building up their running stamina during PE and class time. Parents are encouraged to support their children with additional running practice at home. Further information and a detailed event program will be sent home in coming weeks. The distance for each of the age groups is as follows:

Ride 2 School

National Ride 2 School week is taking place next Friday the 19th of March. Children and parents are encouraged to consider an active mode of transport on this day, such as skating, riding, scooting or walking to school where possible. We look forward to seeing our bike shelter filled with extra wheels next Friday. 

Swimming

This week we had students competing in both the SSV Wellington Division and Gippsland Regional Swimming Championships at the Sale Pool. Every competitor and relay team placed at the division swim meet, which meant we had a strong team of 11 swimmers qualify for the Gippsland Championships. Our individual swimmers and relay teams performed well against strong competition from across Gippsland. Special mention goes to Oliver Dyer who came 2nd in the 11yr boys backstroke and butterfly.
