Uniforms
Please continue to maintain a high standard for your child/ren's uniform. The uniform speaks outwardly of your child's respect of our school. A few gentle reminders:
Students are required to wear their hair in a neat and tidy manner.
- Haircuts should be of an even grade.
- Hair should not be in such a condition as to invite comment.
- Long hair, below shoulder length is to be tied back or plaited, off the face and should not extend to cover the eyes.
- Navy or red blue headbands, ribbons and scrunchies are to be worn in the hair.
- Please ensure correct shoes are worn,

PE & Sport
PE
In PE we are wrapping up our four weeks of the Cricket Blasters. The students have had a great time and have learnt many new skills for cricket. We want to thank Cricket NSW for providing us with such an amazing opportunity, and enabling us to have access to expert cricket coaches.
Keep a lookout for more cricket clinics being run by Cricket NSW throughout the January 2023 holidays.
We now move onto Tennis for the remainder of the term in PE.
SPORT
Dragon Tag Gala Day
In Week 7, Year 5 & Year 6 were lucky enough to participate in a Dragon Tag Gala Day organised by the St George Illawarra Dragon NRL development team. This day was held at Reed Park in Dapto, and teams from local Catholic Primary Schools all took part.
SPX had 5 teams participating in the day, 3 boys teams and 2 girls teams. All students played to the best of their ability and showed great sportsmanship throughout the day. They were a credit to the school. The day was a non-competitive day, which meant that the students could just focus on playing and having fun.
Our participation in the day would not have been possible without the hard work of Mrs Nunes, who organised all the teams, and Mrs Garretty, Mr Whittle & Mrs Sutton who attended on the day and organised the students.
An extra special thank you needs to be given to our parent coaches for each team:
Dave Coopes
Chris Campbell
Grant Taylor
George Tasevski
Your help was very much appreciated.
Hamper Donations
Today we had a visit from the amazing ladies from the Unanderra Chapter of the Catholic Women’s League who donated hampers for distribution to families in need. We sincerely appreciate the ongoing support of these fantastic ladies.
