Last Thursday we held the Southern Region Athletics Carnival in almost spring like conditions. Given the time of year we have had some absolutely dreadful weather in the past.

Over 300 children travelled from our 6 southern region schools to compete for places in the Southern Region Team. Batehaven is our largest school and usually wins the pointscore trophy. This year competition was very close with Batehaven beating Moruya by only one point.

St Pat's have 15 children selected in the team and they will travel to Canberra on Thursday 22^nd August.

Congratulations to the following children particularly Kirra Seenan who was named 11yr girl individual champion. Well done Kirra, Jaxson Dibley, Daniel Clarke, Sam Johnstone, Hugo Spitzer, Lachlan Marks, Isabella Ingraham, Ella Taylor, Jontae and Lincoln Thompson, Kai Schrader, Matilda Cox, Drew Duncan, Jack Taylor and Braith Taylor. Parents of these children are reminded that they need to go online to register.

 Kylie only had a small band of helpers at the BBQ, but a big thank you to those who turned up to help and to those who cooked some goodies at home.
