With an early start to Thursday 4^th November a team of students gathered at SCMS ready to tackle other Catholic schools at Santos Stadium in Adelaide.

For the students that haven’t attended before they gasped walking in saying “oh wow! This is like a real Olympic Stadium”, with nerves rattling a few as the day went on and students achieving fantastic results the nerves soon disappeared.

The encouragement shown by our students was incredible, parents and siblings all cheering SCMS on.

We were extremely proud of a few students who moved out of their comfort zone and represented SCMS in events they weren’t completely confident in. These students have shown great courage, growth mindset and resilience in doing so.                  

St Columba’s had the most successful day ever at Catholic Interschool with Sam Phasey awarded the champion Year 5 boy out of all 6 schools. Our year 5 boys achieving champion year level.

The girls achieving 5^th place overall and the boys 3^rd.

It was great to see all students achieve some personal bests and even students comment at the end of the day saying “I was nervous and scared but I am so glad I did my event.”

I do have a couple of favourite comments:

Lukas Rowe who competed in the open boys 1500m say “the past 2 years I have came 4^th and 3^rd and my goal is 2^nd this year” Well congratulation Lukas you achieved your goal.

Riley Smith who completed shot put – “My goal is to get a no fouls and a place as last year I got all fouls.” Congratulations Riley NO fouls and you were awarded 2^nd place this is because of all the practise you did a lunch time.

A big thankyou to Anna and Robyn for helping transport the students on the day and all the parents that helped be an official.

I know each child went home very happy tired but most of all happy with their results they achieved.

Congratulations SCMS team 2021 we are all very proud of you.
