The staff and students of St Mary’s, Glenelg, recently acknowledged past student Bart Cummings by staging a race meeting at Glenelg’s Wigley Reserve providing a great lead up to the Melbourne Cup! Bart began his education at St. Mary’s Memorial School Glenelg on the same school site where students learn, pray and play today. Students raced their hobby horses, some of which were beautifully creative using mops, brooms and even pool noodles. They were encouraged to wear horse racing paraphernalia, jockey colours and hats in the spirit of the event.
A Bart Cummings Memorial Racing Cup trophy was presented to the winner.
The students were reminded of his remarkable career, successes and passion which led him from North Glenelg to be King of Cups!
Some student comments:
An unwavering commitment to students, a passion for teaching, and a drive to make a difference—these are the shared qualities of the outstanding individuals honoured at the 2025 Catholic Education Awards.
