Last Friday 15 November, Luca Beattie received a Primary Sports Council Medallion in recognition of his tremendous sporting achievements this year at the Diocese of Wollongong Sports Council Awards night.  Luca has represented the diocese in Soccer and Cross-Country. Due to his performance when representing the diocese he was also selected in the MacKillop Soccer Team. To be nominated for this award nominees were not only required to be outstanding athletes but also diligent leaders on and off the sporting field, qualities that Luca displays daily at Holy Cross. Congratulations Luca, we are very proud of you!
