🏑🏃‍♀️ A DOUBLE DOSE OF SUPERSTAR SUCCESS! 🌟🏆

We are bursting with pride for our amazing student, Josie, who has had an absolutely unforgettable week of sporting achievements!

First up, Josie traveled to Bathurst this week to represent Polding at the NSW PSSA Hockey Championship. Playing with incredible skill, precision, and determination, she absolutely shone on the field. Because of her outstanding performance, Josie has been selected for the NSW Team to compete at the National Championships later this year!

But she wasn’t done yet...
To top off an already massive week, Josie backed up her hockey success by competing at the Diocesan Cross Country today in Barraba. Showing incredible grit and endurance, she crossed the line in **3rd place**! 🥉

Josie, your dedication, talent, and sportsmanship are an inspiration to us all at St Pat's. We are so incredibly proud of you, and we can’t wait to cheer you on at Nationals!
