Our Year 11 Fitness and Sports Coaching students took their learning beyond the classroom by completing a First Aid course designed to give them the skills and confidence to respond when it matters most. From the gym to the sporting field, knowing how to recognise an emergency, provide first aid and support others is an essential skill for anyone involved in sport. A great day of practical learning, teamwork and skills that will stay with them long after the course is finished.

An enormous commendation to Charan, Owen, Levi and Henil who represented Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown in the PDSSSC Team Tennis competition on Tuesday at Parramatta Tennis Centre. Although our team unfortunately could not make it through to the finals, they persevered against very strong competition in performances they should be immensely proud of, showcasing a combination of determination and sportsmanship to create what was an incredibly enjoyable day for all involved. We would also like to thank Mr Stramandinoli for accompanying and coaching the boys.
