What is your most memorable Sporting memory at St Peter’s and Why? 

My most memorable sporting memory was going to Forbes for the Rugby Union Polding trials and having my nan, pop and other family members from Orange watching my games. Then to have my name called out as being successfully selected into the Polding team was a great feeling.

Do you have any advice to give future sports stars at St Peter’s? 

Don’t give up and get involved in all sports. When representing the school show great sportsmanship.  If you’re playing Rugby Union or League for the school, hit the gaps and hit them hard.

Who do you admire to be like as a sporting person and why?

James Tedesco because he plays the game hard but fair. He also seems to be very kind to others. 

What are your future sporting plans? 

To play for the Wallabies and travel around the world playing rugby.

For those who have never seen Stirling play Rugby Union or want to see more, grab some popcorn and enjoy watching this amazing highlight package (5 minutes) from the Country Championships of Stirling on the link below. He is #13 for the Mid North Coast (white/black hoops)- you won’t miss him!

Shortly, we will be calling for registration for the 2022 Winter Sports Zone Trial. The sports for Years 4 and 5 will be: Rugby League, Rugby Union, Hockey, Netball and Soccer. Trials will occur at school for all events and as always, teams will be selected primarily on each child’s PBS Values and lastly on their sporting skills. There will be selection criteria for certain sports.  

School Swimming Carnival- update

Notes were sent home on Wednesday to all competitive swimmers. A reminder that the permission/medical note must be returned no later than Wednesday 24th November to be able to attend the carnival. A huge thank you to our 28 families who have offered to assist with timekeeping. We will set up 2 teams of 14. Each team will have 2 timekeepers in each lane and we will take the slowest time of the two. We will have a couple of floating timekeepers who will be back ups for any lane if a stopwatch doesn’t work. If you are not on duty for a period of time, we will have a designated seating area for you opposite the main grandstand. A timetable for volunteers will be sent home early next week and on our St Peter’s Sport Facebook page. Any changes to the day will also be placed on the St Peter’s Facebook page.
