Sydney Kings players Angus Brandt and Jason Cadee with Year 5 students
On Thursday 14 August, Year 5 students from St Patrick’s Primary, Parramatta were thrilled to meet Sydney Kings basketball players, Angus Brandt and Jason Cadee.
After introducing themselves and sharing some of their personal stories about where they grew up and started their basketball careers, Angus and Jason ran through a range of ball skills and drills with the students.
The Year 5 students had a wonderful experience and lots of fun participating. Congratulations to Francis Dagostino and Nathan Rizk who were the winners of the fast pass clap game, displaying exceptional hand-eye coordination and impressed the Sydney Kings players.
Jason and Angus played a trivia game with Year 5 and many students received Sydney Kings merchandise for answering correctly. Year 5 teacher Anne Fardell even won a prize for guessing where Angus played his junior basketball.
The players signed the student’s hats and merchandise and even gave out free tickets to their next home game. Students were thrilled to have a group photo with Angus and Jason
At the conclusion of the event, Year 5 students thanked Physical Education teacher David Younis for organising an amazing experience to develop their ball skills and meet professional basketball players.

Our Student Leadership Team had the honour of attending the Bishop of Parramatta Student Excellence Awards last Thursday. Whilst the Awards are presented to a student from each secondary school in the Diocese of Parramatta, our students were inspired by senior students talking about their faith. Maybe in a few years, we will witness them receiving the awards! #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #cspd2025 #cspd #learningisfunatStPats #excellenceawards2025

We are so blessed🙏 to have our excellent Teacher Assistants, and last week we were able to show our appreciation for them. We held a special morning tea in their honour, and the students wrote some beautiful acrostic poems, highlighting how special they are to them. They work tirelessly with our beautiful children, not only inside but also outside the classroom, helping them become the best they can be. Thank you to all of our Teacher Assistants! 💛💚💛💚 #catholicschools #cspd2025 #cspd #learningisfunatStPats #teacherassistantappreciationweek
