CIS SPORT

For many other sports there is the opportunity to be involved in a RAS or CIS teams. These sports all require students to be nominated and attend a trial for selection.

If your child is a high performing athlete and they would like to compete at the CIS level of sport there are a number of sporting opportunities available to them.

Selections and competitions are generally in Sydney and parents need to be responsible for student travel to and from the competition and any required accommodation.

Entries are $25 each and have strict cut off dates, so if you are interested in being nominated please let me know by the dates specified below in order to ensure your child can be entered into the competition.

The most common sports are listed below, but if you would like information on these or any different sports, please feel free to email kmcfadden@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au
