Wheels Day

Today was "Wheels Day' for the Seniors.  It means a mufti day and scooters, skateboards and ripsticks at school.  We have first right on the courts during breaks and our teachers even let us take our wheels out during classtime!

Catholic Clash

On Friday 7th September, combined with the Yr 7 and 8s from St Joseph's, we competed against St Patrick's in the annual Catholic Clash.  The weather was fantastic, the competition tough and sportsmanship fair.  Unfortunately the Hastings team lost out.  Bring on next year.

Cross Country 2012

A great (but windy) afternoon in the sun for the St Mary's School Cross Country today.  All Year 7 and 8 students should be proud of themselves for completing the event.  Congratulations to the place getters.

Bronze Medal

We were treated to a visit from Westley Gough today.  He was one of the NZ track cycling team who won a bronze medal in the Teams Pursuit.  We were lucky enough to be able to touch the medal and it really is as heavy as it looks!  Westley spoke about how setting small achievable goals is the best way to work towards the bigger goals.  While he won his medal on the track, he is also a keen road cyclist and encouraged us to sign up for the Tour of the Bay later in the year.
