Recent data suggests that our children are falling well short of the Australian physical activity guidelines with only one in three children and adolescents engaging in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.
A big congratulations to the boys and girls who represented our Maitland-Newcastle Diocese last week in the Polding Basketball trials in Coffs Harbour and the Polding Tennis trials. They all represented our area with great sportsmanship and skill throughout the day!
The 2023 Polding Athletics Championships took place in Sydney Olympic Park with over 100 Maitland Newcastle students representing our Diocese. Families travelled from as far as Lismore, Armidale, Bathurst, Wilcannia Forbes and Broken Bay.
