The St Mary’s Catholic College students who have given up the holidays to represent their school in various activities have done the region proud.

Year 12 student Frank McGregor played Confraternity Rugby League for Xavier College.

His team made it through to the Cup Grand Final but ended up being defeated 22-6 in a gutsy effort after one of their players was taken off with a suspected broken leg.

Principal Michael Nayler said Frank played a great game despite an injured thigh.

The school’s netball team, competing at the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Netball (QISSN) carnival at Runaway Bay, also did well.

They ended up coming fourth in Division 6 after some very tough games, often against older competitors.

Four of St Mary’s indigenous students also took part in a Leadership Camp at the University of Queensland.
