Pathway Sports - Years 4 and 5

As each school can only nominate a certain number of students for each trial, the process for selection is:

1. The student is to demonstrate a high level of skill development and talent in the sport

2. The student must have experience playing in regular competitions outside of school

3. In the event of having more students than the allocated number to attend the trial, a school trial may be held to determine nominees. The trials for each sport will be held early in Term 4, 2024. Only one trial will be held. If students are not present at the trial, they will be unable to be selected for the next level.
