PE in 2021 

What a great year of sport we had compared to 2020. Still a couple of events were missed due to COVID but overall, a fantastic year. We kicked off with our SSPS Swimming Carnival with Goretti winning the carnival and relay on the day. Next, we had our SSPS Cross Country which was very exciting as this was the first sporting event parents were able to attend since the start of the pandemic. This was an awesome day full of cheering and smiles from students and parents with Xavier taking out this event. We also had our SSPS Athletics Carnival which was very exciting to see. Xavier also won this carnival and took out the field event trophy with McAuley taking out the relay trophy. Throughout the year St Saviour’s Primary were also lucky enough to attend Catholic, Zone and Darling Downs carnivals, Gala Days, Interschool Sport, Fitness Club, SWQ Touch Football Carnival and Friday Night Basketball. I am very excited to see what 2022 brings for our students at St Saviour’s Primary. Have a safe and Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing our families in 2022. 

School Sport 

Over the year many students have competed in sport at a higher level representing the Central Zone team, Darling Downs team or the State team. Unfortunately, due to COVID not all events took place this year, so some students made the team but where unable to compete. Students who did make these teams have dedicated a lot of their time and energy to training in the lead up to events and are to be commended for the effort they bring to every training session and competition.
