Stella Athletics Carnival

The Stella Athletics Carnival took place on Wednesday 7 May at the ES Marks Athletics Track, and it was a perfect day for a carnival! With sunny skies and ideal conditions for track and field, the atmosphere was fantastic.

The day was filled with Stella spirit as all students took part in both track and field events. The novelty activities were a highlight, with plenty of fun had during tug-of-war, sack races, and three-legged races. There was lots of house spirit on show all day, with plenty of cheering and very creative costumes! The walking relays and house relays were another highlight of the day.

The performances on the track and in the field were remarkable, with an impressive 16 new records being set across various events. The overall standard of competition was exceptionally high, making it a day to remember for all involved.

Our award winners will be announced at our next assembly, including the Champion House and our Age Champions.

Soccer

It has been a busy but successful start to the term for our soccer players!

The CGSSSA Soccer Championships were held at Macquarie Uni Sports Fields on Monday 5 May. The Stella teams had a great day in both the junior and senior divisions.

Our junior team went through the day undefeated, progressing through to the grand final against Mount Saint Benedict. The Stella team dominated from the start and came away with a 4 – 0 win to claim the trophy!

Our Senior team had a good win against Monte to progress through to the grand final against Loreto Kirribilli. It was a close grand final with the scores locked at 0-0 until the final minute of the game, when Loreto scored to take the win.

Congratulations to all of the Stella players, and special mention to the nine Stella girls who were selected into the CGSSSA soccer squad:
