Wednesday Sport

Our Wednesday sport program kicked off this week 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 2023. 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. 

 

TCC Sport 

St Augustine's is part of the Trinity Coast Central (TCC) district within school sport. TCC is the pathway to represent the Peninsula region in the Queensland School Sport Championships. The TCC sign-up process is electronic in 2023 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 are then 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 2023 TCC calendar for trial information.  

  

The St Augustine’s TCC application process is outlined below. 

  1. Students complete the TCC Sport Microsoft form from their accounts to register their interest in their chosen TCC sports. If students wish to trial for more than two sports in a calendar year, they must apply by emailing me and I'll seek an exemption from Mr Seivers.  
  2. Before the trials, a parent slip will be sent home with documents attached for completion to grant permission for your son to attend the trials. 
  3. Parent/carers are to complete the Peninsula student permission details and consent form and upload them to the parent slip. This form must be submitted before completing the parent slip. Alternatively, this form can be sent to sac.sport@cns.catholic.edu.au 
  4. The College will ensure that Mr Seivers signs the document. Students will then collect the signed document from the student office and take it to their trials. 
  5. Students must have this booklet completed to be allowed to trial for a TCC team.  

Students are no longer required to complete a Request for Leave form if they are absent from school for TCC or Peninsula school-based sport. However, parents or carers must email sac.absences@cns.catholic.edu.au to advise of the upcoming school sport-related absence. Student are responsible for ensuring that they contact their teachers about any work that they may miss on these days, keeping up to date with classwork and submitting any assignments due during their absence. If students makes Peninsula teams, they are entitled to approved leave for the carnival as well as a travel day either side. Any additional days of absence may be classified as unapproved leave.
