NAS (Northern Associated School) Sport

It has been extremely busy start to the term with NAS trials taking place in the first week for all our winter sports, from Year 7 to 12. Once trials and teams are finalised students and parents will receive information, fixtures and venues for the term. NAS fixtures begin week 2 on Monday with all year groups playing on the same days as they did in Term 1. Training will be organised by the teacher in charge of the team. A copy of the fixtures will be published on the College website soon.
