St John the Baptist Freshwater have Stellar Sporting Year

St John the Baptist (SJB) Freshwater has had a stellar year in the sporting realm with 5 students representing Polding and beyond.

Billie Kasprowicz (Y5) has had a wonderful year, rounding out 2023 as a Polding representative in 4 sports – Swimming, Basketball, Soccer and Athletics, a true all-rounder! Billie was named runner-up Swimmer of the Meet at both the CSBB Northern Beaches Zone and Broken Bay Swimming Championships this year. She continued to succeed in the water placing second at the Polding Championships in the Girls 10yrs 50m freestyle. Billie also had a very successful year in Athletics where she gained another Polding silver medal in the 8-10yrs Girls Shot Put. Congratulations Billie on your amazing sporting year!

Hannah Lyons (Y6) is a very talented Hockey player who gained Broken Bay and Polding selection along with school teammate Jamie Boucher. Hannah had a fantastic Polding campaign and went on to gain selection into the NSWPSSA Hockey Team. As a part of the NSWPSSA Team, Hannah headed down to Tasmania to compete at the School Sport Australia Hockey Championships where she was awarded the Coaches Award and helped her team to a silver medal. Well done Hannah!

SJB Sports Coordinator Nicola Frost is an integral part of this success working hard and with great passion to ensure that students are aware of the opportunities available through our CSNSW Representative Sport Pathways.

Fellow students Alexis Tague, Scarlett Purdy and Grace Coleman are also to be congratulated on multiple Polding team selections in 2023 at both the NSWPSSA Athletics and Cross Country Championships. Well done SJB Freshwater and all 5 girls for their amazing achievements this year!
