Cricket Gala Day

A message from the students who attended:

The Woolworths Cricket Blast Gala Day was held on Wednesday, 3rd September.  It was an awesome experience and heaps of fun. We would like to say a huge thanks to Mrs Blake for making this event happen and Mrs Smyth for organising and supervising teams on the day.  We would also like to say thanks to the Star of the Sea students for being great competitors. 

The day also ended up as an interschool experience with some girls from Trinity College joining the Star of the Sea Gold Team and helping us win the competition. Thanks to Stacey and Paul from Queensland Cricket who organised the Gladstone event and helped out with some skills and fun at the end of the day.  A big shout out to Marty Gott and Chris Andersen who joined in the fun, refereeing games and cheering us on.  

The winning SOS Gold Team will now compete in Rockhampton on October 10th, at the Regional Final.  The Star of the Sea Community would like to  wish the boys the best of luck at this event.
