In Week 6, St Edward’s College came alive with energy and excitement as we hosted an epic gala day for local Catholic primary schools, welcoming both girls and boys for a day full of football fun. This special event was organised in collaboration with our Football Academy and also saw the return of our Opens champion football team, who generously came back after their HSC to help out on the day. Their presence and support added to the excitement and provided inspiration for the young athletes participating.  The day brought together students, staff, and young athletes from the community for an unforgettable experience.

From thrilling matches that showcased incredible skills and teamwork to fun challenges like the crowd-favourite crossbar challenge and the always-entertaining penalty shootouts, the day was packed with action and laughter. Primary school students had the chance to play alongside and learn from our academy players, fostering a love for the game and creating special memories with their peers.

The event highlighted the values of sportsmanship, community spirit, and collaboration, and we’re already looking forward to hosting the next one. Who’s ready to join in the fun again?
