The annual SJRC Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday 18th July (Term 3 Week 1). Due to the size of our College, we are unable to run all events on carnival day. For that reason some of the events are run at the end of Term 2 – they are listed below. All high jump events require parents to provide permission on the official form. All events are optional. Points accumulated will count towards age champion tallies.
All Year 7 students will be provided with Fosbury Flop (high jump) tuition during sport classes so they are prepared for their high jump event if they choose to enter.

Boys Team
SJRC travelled to Coffs Harbour optimistic of having a successful tournament after taking care of SCAS and MacKillop in the Bill Turner Cup a few weeks earlier. The squad was further strengthened with the addition of a core of Year 10 players that were too old for the Bill Turner Cup. The team played through periods of excellent soccer throughout the day but narrowly missed the semi finals on a count back.
Mr Frank Johnston
Coach
Girls Team
After an early exit in the Bill Turner Trophy competition losing 3-1 to Hastings Secondary College, the girls were keen to play more soccer together at the Diocesan Gala day. The girls played exceptionally well making the semi finals, facing off against a strong MacKillop team. Despite the score being drawn for most of the match, the girls went down 2-1.
The girls played great and are to be congratulated for their efforts.
