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.
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.
