Sports Corner
Representative Sport
So far, all representative sport for the month of June are still cancelled. Please continue to check the Lismore Diocese sport website and the CSNSW sport website for changes.
College Athletics
At this stage, we are still in a holding pattern for the College Athletics Carnival and the Diocese Athletics Carnival as no grounds are open yet and we have not been given the go-ahead from the CSO to host a carnival in Term 2. As soon as information is forthcoming we will share it with you.
Please remember to regularly check the Diocesan and CCC website for updates on all sporting fixtures.
Year 9 and 10 Term 3 Sport
At the end of last week, new notes for Term 3 went home based on students allocations from Term 2. As the dates have changed, a new note is necessary. Students need to return their signed notes and make payment by Friday 12 June. If payment is an issue, please contact Traci Jones, Business Manager, directly. Those who have already paid have it recorded against their names. Regardless, all permission notes must be in by Friday 12 June otherwise students will be moved into a on-campus sport such as Fitness.
A reminder that all Year 9 and 10 students will remain on campus for the rest of term for sport.
Olympic Change-Maker Award
The well respected Pierre de Coubertin Award has been replaced by the ‘Olympic Change-Maker Award’. Due to the changed nature of the criteria of this award, students in Year 10, 11 or 12 who wish to be considered for it are required to self-nominate to Mrs McAra by the end of Term 2. You will be required to inform Mrs McAra if you would like to be considered for the award and then will be shortlisted. One student will then be put forward from our College for the Award and will be required to complete the 150 word essay or video.
Details for this are as follow:

Nominations will be assessed based on the students’ ability to demonstrate:

The successful student will be invited to attend a Virtual Forum to be held in September 2020. The forum will provide Change-Makers the unique opportunity to connect with like-minded young people, learn from Olympians and experience the Olympic spirit first-hand.
PLEASE NOTE: due to many sports (and thus coaching and leadership opportunities) stopping this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, feel free to draw on your experiences from 2019 or 2018.
