18:07:14 Rise for Alex
Today is the girls Athletics carnival. They had to wear their house colours (blue!) and also try to incorporate a sports team shirt to participate in "Rise for Alex"
Alex is a local sportsman who broke his neck 4 months ago while playing for his team, the Newcastle Knights. He is currently wheelchair bound and many local businesses and schools are fundraising for his ongoing medical bills and rehabilitation.
St Paul's and St Joseph's along with many other local schools are encouraging their pupils to wear a sports shirt to school today to show support for Alex.
