• iPhone App

  7 April, 2011

  St Luke's Sport now has its very own iPhone app. For all parents and students who own an iPhone, the app will have a host of information in regards to sport at St Luke's. The application will feature the Twitter feed of changes to routine, venue information (which utilises Google maps on your phone) for all St Luke's sports venues, a list of upcoming sporting events, links to draws, registration forms and other relevant information.
  
  The application will also allow for notification to be sent in the case of last minute urgent information. The application will hopefully help in the transfer of communication between St Luke's and the community in regards to all sporting matters. Just go to the App Store, type in "St Luke's" and download it for free.

  Congratulations to Nick Frack (Year 9) and Mikaela Turik (Year 11). Nick recently trialled for the Open NSW CIS baseball team and Mikaela for the Open NSW CIS cricket team. After a very impressive performance by each of them, both students were successful in making their respective teams. We wish them both continued success.
  
  
  
  Congratulations to both Harry Faeste (Year 11) and Marleen Kroon (Year 9) who recently qualified for the Open AICES Tennis Team to contest the CIS Championships on 2 March (boys) and 9 March (girls) respectively. Both students performed fantastically well with Harry progressing through without losing a game while Marleen, competing against students up to five years her senior, lost a tight first match then progressed through undefeated from that point. We wish both students well in their upcoming representative matches.
