We are proud to announce that Christian Couto will join the Saints Football Program (SFP) in 2024 as the program’s head coach imparting his skills and knowledge of football and futsal.
SFP training will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 6 to 7:30am at the showgrounds training facility. Student participants will then shower, change and have breakfast at Tolle's cafeteria.
The SFP will commence in Week 4.
Welcome Christian!
Special Achievements
Congratulations to Jaden Bakurski, Charlie Lawrence, Archie Ferguson and Rhett Gadd who were part of the champion Under 16 Cricket Far North team who won the Northern Bulls Masters U16 Male Youth Cup. The team finished the competition unbeaten.
Wednesday Sport
In Week 2 the Saints Wednesday Sport program kicked off with students participating in their selected sports and trialling for Saints sporting teams. Students participated in CISSA, Bill Turner Football and AFLQ Cup trials to represent the College in 2024. The standard of trialists made our coaches’ jobs extremely difficult. Congratulations to all successful students. Any students who were unsuccessful in making these teams must select another sport as soon as possible.
2024 TCC Sport
St Augustine's is a part of the Trinity Coast Central (TCC) district within school sport. TCC is the pathway to represent the Peninsula region in Queensland School Sport Championships. The TCC sign-up process is electronic in 2024 with students able to register their interest for the trials by completing a Microsoft Form from their accounts. This will ensure that a Parent Slip is sent home prior to the trials with the necessary paperwork. These forms can/are then to be re-uploaded to the Parent Slip with permission attached for approval by Mr Seivers. Alternatively, please email the forms to me at sac.sport@cns.catholic.edu.au if you have any difficulties reuploading the form to the parent slip. Please refer to the 2024 TCC calendar for trial information.
The St Augustine’s TCC application process is outlined below.
Students no longer need to complete a Request for Leave form if they are absent from school for TCC or Peninsula school-based sport. However, Parents/guardians are required to email sac.absences@cns.catholic.edu.au to advise of the upcoming school sport related absence. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they contact their teacher regarding any work that they may miss on these days, keeping up to date with classwork and submitting any assignments due during the student’s absence. If students are successful in making Peninsula teams, they are entitled to approved leave for the duration of the carnival as well as a travel day on either side. Any additional days of absence may be classified as unapproved leave.
