Sports
On enrolment students are allocated to one of our three sporting houses – Pegler (Blue), McManus (Red) and Sommerfield (White) all named after significant past members of our community. Students from St Finbarr’s and the Quilpie College combine to form these houses for Quilpie and District sporting events including Cross Country, Athletics and Swimming to compete against the Combined Schools House made up of Eromanga State School and the Charleville and Longreach Schools of Distance Education. During these competitions students, 10 years and older are selected to compete at District, Regional and State level if successful.
Students, 10 years and older, also have opportunities to try out for selection in Cricket, Rugby League, Tennis, Softball, Touch football, Soccer, Tennis and Netball for Charleville and District teams to compete at Regional and State Level. As there are generally few students from our school involved we do ask parents to provide assistance with travel with these events.
St Finbarr’s works closely with other schools in the area, including the Quilpie State College, Eromanga State School, Charleville and Longreach Schools of Distance Education to enable access to a wide range of sporting opportunities, including sporting workshops with visiting coaches in gymnastics, archery, cricket, rugby league and any sports that become available.
We also participates in the Annual Thargo Small Schools Sports Camp run by Thargomindah State School. This camp provides students with professional coaching in a range of different sports that are otherwise unavailable. It also is a great opportunity for students to meet and build friendships with other students from the district.
