Sports Update

Decisions have been made to postpone or cancel some School, Diocesan, and NSW sporting events based on the current restrictions around COVID19 and the priority of keeping our students and staff safe.  

Postponed events include:

• NSWPSSA and All Schools Cross Country rescheduled for Monday 18 October. 
• NSWPSSA Boys Touch Championships
• NSWPSSA Boys Football Championships rescheduled for 6 – 8 October @ Griffith

Cancelled events in TERM 3 include:

• St Joseph’s School Athletics Carnival 
• South Coast Region Athletics 
• South Coast Soccer Gala Days 
• NSWCCC Football Knockout Finals & Grand Final 
• NSWCCC Athletics Championships (Week 8)
• CPS Basketball Challenge (Week 4 Term 4)

We share your disappointment in these decisions, however, given the timing of these events and with many of these events listed involving large numbers, multiple schools, large teams, parent/carer drop off and pick up complexities and involvement from both secondary schools and many external officials & providers, it became a sensible decision in the end.

MacKillop Athletics 

The MacKillop athletics carnival is now set for Friday 29 October. At this stage, it is expected a Wollongong athletics team will be made via a selection trial based on qualifying standards for both track and field. More information will be communicated once this decision, date and process is finalised by CEDoW leadership. 

As a school community, we look forward to our future, with hope, for the time when all students are able to come together and enjoy sport and physical activities together again.
