Representative Trials
It has been an extremely busy week for representative trials for our talented St Pat's students. Our swimmers recently attended the Sydney Swimming Championships on Monday. This is always a great experience being at Sydney Olympic Park. Well done to Evie E, Ethan G, Hugo H, Dennis L, Rebecca W, Beatriz RP, Hudson S, Lucy T, Davis V for not only representing our school, but all of Conference 3, at this event. Our junior boys relay finished on the podium in 3rd place.
Congratulations to Noah VD who had a successful Mackillop AFL trial. We are pleased to announce that Noah has secured a sport in the MacKillop AFL team.
We have Lila M competing at Sydney Netball, Jack C at the Sydney Rugby League trials and Xavier at MacKillop Hockey.

INTERSCHOOL SPORT OVERVIEW
This document has been shared with families of Years 3-6 which contains an overview of all Sydney Catholic Schools Interschool Sport for Stage 2 and 3 throughout 2025.
SCS Sporting Pathways - Representative
The Representative Pathway Sports will continue into Term 1 2025 with many sports already in the MacKillop Trial stage. This is because the representative sport calendar season with Sydney Catholic Schools runs from Term 4 2024 to Term 3 2025.
Year 5 and Year 6 students have the opportunity to represent St Patrick’s at trials to progress through the pathway system. The sports they will be able to trial for are varied and many are open to both boys and girls.
To be considered for selection to represent St Patrick’s students requires experience and to be playing the sport as a registered player at a high level of skill outside of school. This should be in the form of a regular, structured rep, Division 1 or equivalent A level competition. Parents had the opportunity to nominate their child via an electronic form last year. This form will be re-sent during Term 3 2025 to gather any new or updated information regarding your child's sport involvement outside of school. Nominations for this sports calendar season have closed as trials have commenced.
When a student attends a Conference Pathway Sporting event it is important that they take the documentation supplied by the school with them. Parents will also need to provide consent via COMPASS. Your child may not be allowed to compete without the form. Your child will also be given a representative St Patrick's Jersey/Shirt to wear in which they will need to wash and return after the trial.
If there is a change in your child's attendance to one of these events please email amanda.col@syd.catholic.edu.au so I can make the necessary arrangements to withdraw your child from this event. This is to ensure an accurate record on COMPASS and for the smooth running of the trial event.
