RUGBY 7s:

The day was a great success, with all three Stella teams playing some great rugby and having lots of fun. There was some tough tackling, great tries and lots of fantastic team work shown throughout the day.

Well done to all three teams on their great results:

Juniors: Gold Medalists!

Intermediates: 3^rd Place

Seniors (our amazing Year 12 team who were all playing rugby for the first time!): Silver medallists.

NSWCCC SWIMMING:

Congratulations to Jess O, Zara D, Mila C and Zoe B who competed at the NSWCCC Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic park in April. The Stella girls all swam extremely well and had amazing results.

The four Stella students competed as a team in the intermediate 4 x 50m medley relay and the 4 x 50m freestyle relay, placing second in both races. This means that they have now qualified to represent NSWCCC at the NSW All Schools Championships later this term! Zara and Jess also placed in their individual events, so will also swim in individual races at All Schools. Congratulations on such an outstanding achievement!
