Diocesan Sports Award Winners
On Friday 12 November, the 24th Annual CDF Diocesan Sports Awards were held virtually and St Patricks was proudly represented by six students recieving awards. The presentation premiered to a large audience who watched on from the comfort of their own homes. It was a fitting end to a busy sporting year and a positive advertisement for the opportunities available for both students and teachers.
The awards highlighted the achievements of over 190 talented students who have proudly represented the Diocese of Wollongong at NSW Combined Catholic College events.
This year’s virtual event, proudly sponsored by the Catholic Development Fund, attracted over 550 viewings and provided the opportunity for parents and carers to share the event with their broader families.
The evening featured recorded interviews with Kieran Woolley who attended Corpus Christi Catholic College – skateboarding and Blake Govers who attended St Josephs Catholic College– hockey who recalled some of their Tokyo experiences–the exhilaration and challenge of their Olympic competition–while also providing advice for current student athletes.
It was a fantastic presentation and I would like to acknowledge the following students on receiving RED medallions for gaining selection in a NSWCCC team.
Chloe C - Year 7 (NSWCCC Cross Country)
Olivia K - Year 7 (NSWCCC Swimming)
Georgia O - Year 8 (NSWCCC Hockey)
Abbie H - Year 11 (NSWCCC Hockey)
I would also like to acknowledge the following students on receiving BLUE medallions for gaining selection in NSW All School teams
Piper A (NSWCCC & NSW All Schools Basketball)
Hannah P (NSWCCC & NSW All Schools Swimming)
Hannah also recived the extra honour of being recognised as the Wollongong Diocese Para Athlete of the Year which was thoroughly deserved after a sensational year in the pool.
