Lacrosse Carnival - On Tuesday 20 May, St Therese participated in the annual SACPSSA Lacrosse Carnival, held at Barratt Reserve, West Beach. The rain held off for us and the sun shone in bouts throughout the day. 80 eager students competed in this carnival creating 11 teams. Congratulations to all students who represented our school with pride and displayed excellent sportsmanship. Thank you for the endless support from staff that attended and also to our wonderful volunteers - Briana, Nikki, Belle, Samantha, Bettina, Tonya, Bec, Lauren and Darren.

Netball Carnival - We are looking forward to our next carnival, Netball, which will be held on Tuesday 1 July. This carnival is for boys and girls in Years 3-6. If your child has nominated to play, you will receive an alert on SZapp. Please watch for that notification and complete it as soon as possible. Please also consider coaching a team. This is a very popular carnival with our students and we can do with as much support to cover our teams as possible.

Basketball Carnival - Next Thursday 12 June, some of our Year 6’s will represent our school at Basketball SA, Wayville. This is another exciting carnival that we are all looking forward to.

Winter Sport - The St Therese Winter Sport program is well and truly up and running. I am hearing some wonderful reports from coaches and players. Whether you are a player, coach or spectator always remember that you are representing our school out of school hours and must follow the school’s Code of Conduct. At training and game days we also ask that parents or guardians are present.

Sports College SA clinics - We have been privileged to be working again with the students from Sports College SA this year. Our Rec-Year 2 students have and will engage in fun, developmental netball and cricket sessions whilst our Years 3-6’s have and will participate in AFL and Basketball. What a special partnership this is with Sports College SA.

Special Congratulations to - Asher in Year 6 on her City South District Girls Netball selection. All the best to you Asher. We look forward to hearing all about it.

SPORTS DAY - The school is buzzing with excitement in anticipation of our 2025 Sports Day. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow to share this wonderful community event with us. Please refer to SZapp for Sports Day details (scroll to date 29-May in your SZapp Feed).
