Interschool Swimming Carnival: 21st October, 2025

Townsville Sports has confirmed the new date for the Interschool Swimming Carnival, which was postponed from Term 1. The event will now take place on Tuesday, 21st October, from 12:00pm – 2:15pm at Long Tan Pool.

The team will remain the same as selected from the swimming trials held in Term 1. Changes will only occur if a selected swimmer is unable to attend. Please note: The 2026 Interschool Swimming Carnival team will be based on the swimming trials held in Term 1, 2026. 

Blackhawks Rugby League Training Squad

The training squad for the Blackhawks Rugby League team has now been selected. Students will continue to train each Tuesday at 2nd break on the top oval.

The final team will be announced at the end of Week 8, based on:

  • Previous Rugby League experience
  • Positive behaviour within the school
  • Training participation

This week, the boys had the opportunity to train with James Tamou and Jaelen Feeney, and training will continue weekly until the carnival.

The ‘training squad’ approach has been introduced to give students without much Rugby League experience the chance to develop their skills in preparation for playing in Grades 5 and 6.

Congratulations to Our Sporting Stars! 

Our Amazing Athletics Team: St Benedicts placed 3rd in the average for the interschool carnival! This is a huge improvement on last year's results and we are so proud! 

Below is a photo of all the students who placed at the carnival! Absolutely amazing! 

Here is the whole team!
