SPORT

Our three main sports carnivals are swimming, athletics and cross country. These days are designed primarily for student enjoyment of the sport, participation and for the promotion of exercise and a positive sporting experience. As a result of these carnivals, students may progress from school level, to Diocesan, to MacKillop, to NSWPSSA and ultimately national level in selected sports.
 

Student Representative Pathways

Outstanding sporting students in Years 5 and 6, playing in the highest division possible, are invited to attend trials for positions in Wollongong Diocese representative teams. Trials are conducted for a variety of sports including tennis, basketball, netball, soccer, rugby league, rugby union, touch football, hockey, softball and cricket.
