Mark Taylor Shield
Despite the loss against St Clare’s Narellan Vale, the Mark Taylor Cricket Team's resilience and sportsmanship are worth celebrating. Their dedication, a true reflection of sportsmanship, inspires us all. The future of cricket in our junior school is promising, shining with talent and enthusiasm. We are grateful for the unwavering support from our community, which fuels the team's determination. We look forward to 2025, where we will build upon what we have learned this year.

Junior School Annual Cross Country Carnival
On Wednesday, 27 March, 2024, we hosted our Junior School Cross Country event here at the College, and it was a resounding success! The weather couldn't have been better, providing ideal conditions for all participants to showcase their running prowess.
From Kindergarten to 2nd grade, our youngest athletes tackled a spirited 500-meter course while our 11 and 12-year-olds pushed themselves through a challenging 3 km run. Meanwhile, our 8, 9, and 10-year-olds covered a commendable 2 kilometres, demonstrating their determination and endurance.
Thank you to Mrs Buckley, our dedicated parent volunteers, staff members, and our hardworking maintenance team, whose efforts were instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of the carnival.
I'm thrilled to announce that Laurentian emerged as the champion house, showcasing exceptional teamwork, determination, and skill throughout the event. Congratulations to all members of the Laurentian House for their outstanding performance!
Finally, a special congratulations goes out to those students who were placed in their respective categories.
