JERSEY UPDATE
Students who receive a jersey for any upcoming trial, gala day or interschool sport will be recorded as proof of this borrowing method. This will allow our school to continue to use these jerseys and have enough for all students to wear and represent our school proudly at the many sporting events we provide to all students. Once jerseys are washed and returned to the school office, our staff will mark that the jersey has been returned. Any jerseys not returned will incur replacement fee.
Please check the wardrobes at home and return any jerseys of any style (singlet, soccer jersey or footy jersey) which belongs to the school. Thank you for the cooperation with this matter.
Interschool Sport
Interschool sport will continue in a similar fashion for 2026. The chosen sports for interschool in 2026 will be league tag, netball with European handball all abilities, football (soccer) and AFL. Watch this space and be COMPASS alert to get all the updates as the Interschool sport season approaches.
Upcoming Representative Trials
Thank you to those students who have trialed across various sports for next years conference trials. Trialists were gathered based on the nominations received and those students who missed the opportunity were able to display their resilience and congratulate those who were selected. Details will be shared via compass and a paper note for any student attending a conference trial.
