Sports News from Mrs Tooth
Northern Region Cross Country
St Bede’s proudly hosted the Northern Region Cross Country Carnival at the Braidwood Showground last Friday. Around 250 students, along with their parents and families from across the region, attended the event. The perfect weather allowed for a fantastic day of competition. Congratulations to all the students who gave their best efforts and showed great sportsmanship by cheering each other on!
Thank you to the army of volunteer parents who assisted on the day, both in the canteen and on the course, as well as Miss Cooper, Ms Conroy and Ms Moran. We certainly cannot run such an event without your wonderful support. A special thank you to Ruby Green, Fiona Noye and Richard Bunn for their incredible efforts in coordinating and managing the canteen - a massive job catering for approximately 400 people!
Congratulations to Thomas (Year 3) who placed 3rd in the 9 years boys and Charlie (Year 5) who placed 5th in the 11 years boys events. They will now travel to Stromlo next Friday 16th May to compete in the Archdiocesan championships. Good luck boys!

Parents, families and children are reminded to promote safe behaviour around schools. This week’s focus for road safety is on holding your child’s hand:
