TCC sport

St Augustine's is part of the Trinity Coast Central (TCC) district within school sport. TCC is the pathway to represent the Peninsula region in the Queensland School Sport Championships. The TCC sign-up process is electronic, and students can register their interest in trials by completing a Microsoft form from their accounts at the beginning of the school year. This will ensure that a parent slip is sent home with the necessary paperwork before the trials. These forms can then be reuploaded to the parent slip with permission attached for approval by College Principal Mr Seivers. Alternatively, you can email the form to sac.sport@cns.catholic.edu.au if you have difficulties reuploading it to the parent slip.

A TCC calendar will be released later this term.

The St Augustine’s TCC application process is outlined below.

Students complete the TCC Sport Microsoft form from their accounts to register their interest in their chosen TCC sports.
Before the trials, a parent slip is sent home with documents attached for completion to grant permission for your sons to attend the trials.
Parents or carers complete the Peninsula student permission details and consent form and upload it to the parent slip. This form must be submitted before completing the parent slip. Alternatively, it can be sent to sac.sport@cns.catholic.edu.au
After College Principal Mr Seivers has signed the document, students will collect it from the student office and take it to their trials.
Students must have this booklet completed to be allowed to trial for a TCC team.

Sport absences
