Sports News with Mr Payne
Regional Track and Field Championships
Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to all parents who assisted at the Track and Field Athletics Carnival. Without your help, these events would not be possible to run. We are so lucky to have such a supportive parent community here at St Matthew’s.
Congratulations to Alastair and Elsie on making it through to the ACT level in the following events:
Alastair - 800m and 200m
Elsie - 100m, 200m, 800m, Long Jump and 1500m
Best of luck to you both!

Tennis Coaching Clinics
This term, all students have been participating in Tennis clinics with our good friend Coach Buster. If your child has recently shown an interest in wanting to play tennis, below are two flyers with information about their upcoming events.
In Term 4, we will be looking at other clinics for all students so that they can enjoy and learn a variety of sports.
2024 Swimming Program
This year, our Kindergarten, Year One and Year Two students will participate in a swimming program at Stromlo Leisure Centre during Week One of Term Four.
Due to the recent increase in the cost of the program, we have decided to focus on giving our non-swimmers and early swimmers the opportunity.
Representative News
I have heard recently that we have a number of students selected to represent Canberra in a variety of sports and activities (soccer, skiing, and rubriks cube were mentioned). I would love to share these achievements with the school community.
If your child has news, please send a photograph and information about the event to me dillon.payne@cg.catholic.edu.au.
