Central Zone Athletics Carnival
On Wednesday, 7th of August, St Saviour’s students represented their school at the Central Zone Athletics Carnival. They ran, jumped, and threw with two to three students in each event. St Saviour’s did extremely well with many students placing in the top three for their events. All students are to be commended on the way they represented their school and the sportsmanship they showed on the day. Emily Carrigan broke the record for 11 Year Discus, throwing 34.48m and smashing the old record by 4m.

Friday sport
Friday Sport kicked off again this Term with students in Year Five and Year Six participating in either Rugby League, Soccer or Netball. The feedback from the students is that they had an awesome time playing against other schools and really enjoyed playing in teams with their peers. I look forward to hearing about their games as the term progresses.
Toowoomba Primary School Cup Futsal Carnival
On Monday, 12th August, 9 students from Year Five and Six participated in the Toowoomba Primary School Cup Futsal Carnival held at USQ, Toowoomba. The team, a mix of 7 boys and 2 girls, engaged in exciting matches of Futsal against schools from the region. As the games progressed, the team demonstrated exceptional teamwork, resulting in highly competitive matches. They managed to secure victories in four games, securing a position in the grand final. Despite their remarkable performance, the team came runner up in the grand final. Nevertheless, I couldn't have been prouder of the players for their sportsmanship, game play, and how they represented the school on that day. Members of the team were William Prust, Oliver O'Toole, Chase Hartwig, Darcy Phillips, Ruby Boxsell, Mia Aylward, Parker Bohm and Jaxon Jessep.
