ENHANCING SPORT THROUGH FAITH

THE ROLE OF PRAYER IN SPORTS PERFORMANCE

For some, it's a ritual that provides calm and focus; for others, it's a form of worship and gratitude. Take the AFL Grand Final, for example. Many Australian Rules Football players attribute their mental strength and resilience to their faith.

ANOTHER AWARD FOR JAI !

A very special morning assembly was held on Monday, as we were very fortunate to have Mr Robert Dwyer MP, who awarded a NSW Sporting Representation certificate on behalf of the Honourable Christopher John Minns. Another amazing highlight of the achievements of Jai. I was fortunate to walk Robert around the school, and we visited the Don Farrell Hall to show him our amazing sporting success.
