District and Western Sport Trials

In 2025, Mrs Francis will coordinate all district and western trial information for PSSA Sporting teams.

Some trials at a school level will be held prior to the district trials. This depends on the sport and popularity of trials at the district level.

When trialling for district and western teams, notes will go home with students from school and will need to be returned to school to Mrs Francis before the due date.

Students cannot attend trials without this note being approved by the school and students names entered into trials by the school.

Students can find out about upcoming school, district and western trials by listening to Sentral announcements in class, and parents can find out about trials by keeping up to date through the School Newsletter.
