Sport

There are 3 components of Sport at Trinity Catholic College:

  • Friday School Sport
  • School Carnivals
  • Representative Sport
Friday Sport

Weekly Friday sport is held from 12.40pm – 2.40pm.

School sport complements the mandatory 300 hours of the PDHPE syllabus.

Students select their own sport each term

Sport selection process

  • A detailed list of sporting options can be found in Compass via the School Documentation Icon.
  • An online survey is emailed to students in Week 6 each Term.
  • Students list 5 sports in preferential order.
  • Sports rolls are generated from the survey and the allocated sport will appear on the student’s timetable.

Variations:

Year 7 – In Terms 1 and 2, Year 7 students take part in a fortnightly sport rotation that gives them the opportunity to experience a range of sports from the Friday sport program.

Year 11 – Students participate in either Friday sport or a study session each Week B. Students will “opt in” to an organised sport. In Week A, timetabled lessons will occur.

School Carnivals

Swimming Carnival – Lambton Pool – Term 1

Athletics Carnival – Hunter Sports Centre, Glendale – Term 3

Both carnivals are compulsory school days and offer a great opportunity to connect as a school community, fostering school pride and House spirit. A college representative team is selected from performances on the day.
