This annual Championship brings together students from Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools. It is an achievement for every competing athlete here today to have been chosen to represent one of the 17 diocese/associations from across New South Wales. The most successful of today’s competitors will have the honour of representing NSW CCC or NSW CPS MacKillop/Polding at State-level competition. Today, I take this opportunity to thank the NSWCCC and NSWCPS Sports Councils and the Parramatta Diocesan Primary Schools Sports Council for their detailed planning and organisation of the Championships. In particular, I acknowledge the dedication of Wendy Breen (Marist College, Eastwood) and Margaret Thornton (Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta) as the principal coordinators of today’s event. Finally, I congratulate the many principals, sports coordinators, teachers, parents and other supporters who have prepared our young athletes so capably for today’s competition, as well as those who have assisted in any way to facilitate events leading to today’s championships. I wish all competitors and officials a very successful and rewarding day. Mr Greg Whitby Executive Director of Schools Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta CONVENERS’ MESSAGE On behalf of the Metropolitan Catholic Schools Sports Association (MCS) and Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta (PDCPSSC), it gives us great pleasure to welcome competitors, team managers, officials and spectators to the 2015 NSW Catholic Primary Schools and NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Cross Country Championships. The Championship acts as the selection trial for Polding, MacKillop and the Combined Catholic Colleges team to compete at the NSW State Cross Country Championships to be held at Sydney Motorsports Park on Friday 17 July 2015. We wish all competitors the best of luck today and at future events. We acknowledge the Team Managers and Teachers who have played a major role in team preparation – participating in selections, training and managing competitors throughout the Championships. Your continued efforts in the support of school sport are commendable. Special thanks to all the Officials including staff of Sydney Motorsport Park, students who have assisted generously in the running of this event.
