JUNIOR SPORT 

The NSW Combined Independent Schools Sports Council, known as CIS, aims to provide a pathway to state and national level competition in a wide variety of sports for students in the independent sector. For some sports (e.g. Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics) students progress through to this level after success at our College carnival and then by qualifying at the Riverina Associated Schools (RAS) carnival. However, for some sports, these qualifying carnivals dont exist and therefore students nominate to go directly to CIS selection carnivals in Sydney.

 

The website is: https://cis.nsw.edu.au

 

The process to nominate for CIS is:

  1. Students express their interest in a particular sport with the Head of Sport via email or face to face (please allow at least one week before the nomination closing date). The Head of Sport enters the student's name into the CIS database for that sport.
  2. An email is sent to the primary parent's email that is located on Compass with a link to register (please ensure that emails are updated on the Compass Portal). 
  3. The parent completes the registration.
  4. The student is now registered to compete in the competition.
  5. Families arrange any accommodation and transportation required for the event.
  6. Families need to report back to the College about results of selections after the event so we can celebrate the achievements of the students who represent the College and RAS/CIS.

PLEASE NOTE: It is the responsibility of the student and parents to initiate the process of CIS nomination and registration. Students and parents must be proactive in sourcing representative dates of competition and registration deadlines and closures using the CIS website. The cost of registration is approx  $25.00 - $30.00 (depending on the sport). The College pays this cost initially. If the family withdraws from the trial they will be charged the cancellation fee which is the registration cost. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the College.
