Hobart Hockey Champs!
In the holidays Bella Croker and Harry Skelly both participated in the Under 13's National Hockey Carnival in Hobart. Harry captaining the boys ACT team and Bella Playing for the NSW Lions.
Both teams played exceptionally well, coming in third overall.
Congratulations Harry and Bella!
I would like to share an event recount from Bella.
"During the holidays I travelled to Hobart to play in the U13’s Australian National Hockey Carnival, I was in the NSW Lions team as a striker.
I got off to a rocky start, spending night 1 in the hospital after I was hit in the throat with a ball. I was glad I could play on though.
Over the 8 days we played 12 games, winning 10 of these, our two loses were to the Queensland teams who were fantastic! Our team got better and better with each game and we worked really well together, our coaches and managers really helped us to play our best.
Our NSW Lions team finished the carnival in 3rd place which we were so proud of. I finished 7th for goal scoring for the week, with 6 goals, and 2nd in field goals.
The highlights for me were making a lot of new friends, coming 3rd in the whole of Australia, working with amazing coaches, shopping at Salamanca markets, my first plane trip and my room mates.
Thank you to the St Mary’s community for all of your kind messages, I really appreciate it."
My Overseas Holiday by Charlie Bensley
"On Tuesday I went to my Grandad's in England. I had so so much fun! I went on a boat and on another boat and I went to my mum's mum. I went to a castle in England. I went to the London Eye. I saw Big Ben. I went on a double-decker bus and a train. I went to the beach. My dad and pop came too which was a surprise!"
