ISA Summer Sport 2024 – 25
Another season of ISA Sport is nearly here, and students should now know their allocated team, coach and training schedule for the upcoming season. Congratulations to those students selected in our 1st teams and in particular those selected for the first time, a great achievement. Please see below for information about the start of the season and some key dates. We are looking forward to another fantastic season of sport at Oxley.
Uniform – Sport Uniforms should be purchased from the Oxley Uniform Shop prior to the season beginning.
*Note – If you have purchased a Basketball or Touch Football singlet second hand or acquired one another way, please email oxleyshop@oxley.nsw.edu.au and let Nicky know which number you have, to avoid double ups.
A reminder that only Oxley PE/Sport uniform should be worn during training and game days.
Training – To maximise court space and to assist with coach availability, some Basketball teams have been scheduled to train outside of the usual Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. We are hoping this doesn’t cause too many clashes and will be reviewed early in the season.
Attendance – Attendance at training and games is compulsory. If your child is unable to attend training or a game due to injury, illness or misadventure please notify sport.admin@oxley.nsw.edu.au. We ask that where possible, appointments are scheduled outside of training times and matches.
*Note – If your child is absent from training without explanation, you will receive an email from the Sport Dept notifying you of their absence. This is an important step in ensuring students are safe and accounted for.
Important Dates – Training restarts in Week 2, Term 4. The 1st round of the ISA season will begin on Saturday 26 October and continue until Saturday 30 November in Term 4.
Training will recommence in Week 2 of Term 1, 2025 with the season recommencing on the Saturday 8 February. The last round of the season is on Saturday 1 March. Semi-finals and Finals are scheduled for Saturday 8 and Saturday 15 March.
*Note – The Softball team and the Under 14’s Cricket team do not play in the ISA Competition, competition dates will be communicated separately.
Communication and Planning – The weekly sports draw will be available on the Oxley portal/app each Tuesday afternoon. The season draws will be posted on the Oxley College website shortly. You can view upcoming fixtures, points tables and other information via the ISA mobile app which can be found in the Apple or Android app store.
