Razorback Cup/John Skandalis Cup Champions
Our Stage 3 Rugby League team was triumphant in the Razorback Cup Group 6 final.
In the process they also won the John Skandalis Cup which is awarded to the winner of the combined Wests and Group 6 competition.
The team were undefeated on the day with three great wins against tough opposition, including a four tries to two victory in the final against Robertson Public School. Under the expert coaching from Mr Woodhead and his assistants, Mr Powderly, Mr Bruni and Mr Gauci, the team combined well to out class the opposition. They now progress to the NSW All Schools finals later in the year.
A big vote of thanks to the above mentioned parents for assisting with coaching the side and to all the parents and grandparents who have supported the students' participation in this competition.

Leaders of Tomorrow Showcase – University of Western Sydney, Kingswood October 15, 2025 Yesterday, three Year 5 students, Annalise, Charlotte and Natalia, represented Holy Family Luddenham at the Leaders of Tomorrow Showcase presented by Gotcha4Life Foundation. Last term, Mentally Fit Primary Schools launched the Student Voice Project, with the goal of empowering students to become mental fitness leaders within their school community. In partnership with Gotcha4Life, students were encouraged to promote mental fitness (to build your emotional muscle, to never worry alone, and embrace your village). The students designed a wonderful initiative called the Buddy Bench. The Buddy Bench aims to reduce loneliness and provide a safe space for students in the playground. It signals that a student is feeling lonely and that student would like someone to play or talk with. To further support peer connection, the team developed Conversation Cards with thoughtful prompts to help students start positive discussions while at the bench. The staff and students at Holy Family are incredibly proud of our Year 5 students for their creativity, compassion, and leadership. The Gotcha4Life Foundation extend their thanks to all the Year5 students for their inspiring contributions and for the enthusiasm displayed during this project. Special thanks to the Year 5 students who presented at the Leaders of Tomorrow Showcase. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in preparing for this showcase — you should be extremely proud of yourselves and the positive impact your project will have on our school community. At the event, Gus Worland spoke passionately about the importance of teaching young people about mental fitness and breaking the negative stigma surrounding mental health. Let’s continue to work together to Build a Mentally Fit School and Community — Build your emotional muscle. Never worry alone. Embrace your village.
