EQUESTRIAN CHAMPION
Star equestrian Tia McKenzie (Year 9) represented New South Wales at the Equestrian Australia (EA) Nationals Australasian Show Horse and Rider Championships in March 2022. She was truly outstanding, winning five Championship Titles, more than any other single rider in the Nationals, helping New South Wales to win the overall National Team title. Congratulations Tia.
TILDESLEY TENNIS
Over a Sunday and Monday in March, our Tildesley Tennis Squad played in the 102nd Tildesley Tennis tournament. Thanks to the return of spectators for both the Singles and Doubles day, the tournament was played with atmosphere and cheer that has been missing these last two years. With the Loreto Kirribilli cheer squad made up of players, coaches and parents, nothing could dampen the spirit of the squad, with nine singles and five doubles pairings taking to the court. After our matches, we were able to reach Round 3 in both the singles and doubles, placing 15th overall, which is a wonderful result! A special mention must go out to our departing Year 12 players who have given six years to the squad. We farewell Sophie Bencsik, Sophie Blanks, Charlotte Leete, Claire McNally, Sophia Wood and Sara Marning. Yolande Jury Tennis Convenor
