On Monday 28 November, MacKillop Catholic College at Warnervale hosted the 25th New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges (NSWCCC) Blue Awards, which celebrates and recognises the best sporting achievements of Catholic Secondary students throughout NSW. The strong sporting talent from the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese was on show, with six students receiving an award.
The competition was strong at the Diocesan Rugby Union trials this year, which allowed for a selection of a talented team of 19 students to travel to Forbes to represent the Diocese at the Polding trials.
