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.

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

We are blessed to have so many students joining our environment 🌏♻️🏞team in 2025. They are continually inspired to care for our gardens by the dedication of Mrs Cadman, who shares her love of gardening with any interested student. I cannot wait to see how they continue to show others the importance of being a steward of creation in 2026. #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #cspd2025 #cspd #learningisfunatStPats

Although our Year 6 students will be heading on to high school in a few weeks, we thought we would still post their last attempt at working together to solve their Christmas STEM problem. They were challenged to design and build a device that could help Santa 🎅🤶🎄 catapult presents into the chimney. Congratulations to our winners!💖✨ #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #cspd #learningisfunatStPats

The Christmas STEM days are always a favourite end-of-year event. Years 4 and 5 were challenged to design the tallest 'Elf Tower'. They needed to ensure it was sturdy enough to hold an elf, and extra points were awarded if it could hold a variety of weights! Congratulations to our Year 5 winners!🎄🎅🤶🏽 #learningisfunatstpatsparramatta #catholicschools #cspd2025 #cspd #learningisfunatStPats
