Canberra Catholic primary schools soccer carnival

National Library writing competition

MR DOSZPOT (Brindabella) (5.52): Last Sunday, 18 March, I was honoured to officially open the Catholic primary schools soccer carnival at the University of Canberra. This annual carnival was first held 13 years ago and each year the carnival is organised and managed by one of the Catholic primary schools in Canberra. The foundation school was St Bede’s at Red Hill with Maureen Doszpot as the foundation principal in 1999.

I congratulate the principal, Brenda Foley and the head of the organising committee, Paul Cecere, and in fact the whole teaching staff of St Matthew’s, for their contribution; they all attended, as well as the school community and parents who came along to assist.

It was also good to see Carl Valeri appointed as the Catholic schools carnival official ambassador. I quote some of Carl’s comments from the program foreword:
