Sports Bulletin
Welcome to Term 2 Sport
I hope all of our families have enjoyed a restful break and that our students are refreshed and ready for a big Term 2 in Sport.
We'll hit the ground running - literally - in the first week of term!
2026 Interhouse Cross Country Carnival
Our rescheduled Cross Country Carnival is planned for the afternoon of Tuesday, 21 April (Week 1, Term 2), commencing at 1:00 pm.
The event has been adjusted to minimise disruption to learning as much as possible. A copy of the revised program of events is available below.
All Years 7 to 9 students will participate in their age group event instead of Junior Sport & Enrichment on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior students in Years 10 to 12 who wish to represent the College at the Trinity Coast South Cross Country Carnival (TCS) will be given the opportunity to compete in their age event from 1:00 pm. Whilst only competitive runners are expected to compete, all students are encouraged to come down to the College Oval and support their peers.
An email has been sent to all students in Years 10 to 12, inviting them to nominate if they wish to compete on Tuesday.

Good luck to our Boys Intermediate Volleyball Team, who will compete in the FNQ Intermediate Schools Cup on Thursday, 23 April.
