Dear Parents and Carers<\/p>\n
2022 will not only usher in a new year at the College, but also a new way for our girls to be engaged in Sport. Up until 2022, St Ursula\u2019s has been involved in CGSSSA Gala Days in a range of sports, as well as conducting Physical Activity on Tuesdays. From 2022, St Ursula\u2019s will join with all other secondary schools in offering Sport on a Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
In June 2020, Ernst and Young were engaged to review the current model of secondary sports across Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) and provide a K-12 model of cohesive sporting opportunities and representative pathways for all students.<\/p>\n
The resultant outcome of that extensive review is for Sydney Catholic Schools to have a comprehensive Sport program for all students that ensures:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Safe and inclusive participation
\n\u25cf Equitable opportunities at a level that challenges each student
\n\u25cf Appropriate risk mitigation and compliance.<\/p>\n
All schools in the SCS network will have a common day for weekly Representative Inter-school Sport. This common day will be Thursday. St Ursula’s will let you know what your daughter\u2019s timetable on a Thursday will look like. Depending on your daughter\u2019s Year level, it may involve structured sport\/activities, study classes or timetabled classes for students not participating in Representative Inter-school Sport.<\/p>\n
In Term 4 of 2021, the College will let you know what\u00a0representative school sport teams <\/span>your daughter will be able to try out for. Students will be notified of this via Compass. Students will be expected to attend trials each term to be selected for representative teams.<\/span><\/p>\n Age Groups for weekly and Gala Day Inter-school Sport will be:<\/p>\n \u25cf Year 8 Open – Students in Year 7 and 8 Age Groups for Inter-school carnivals will be:<\/p>\n \u25cf 12s, 13s, 14s, 15s, 16s and Senior Open.<\/p>\n Most Inter-school Sport will consist of:<\/p>\n \u25cf Playing regular round games against other schools in the conference In 2022, Sydney Catholic Schools will be offering a variety of sports for students to compete in, both as a weekly competition and Gala Days.<\/p>\n In Term 1 2022, the sports offered will be basketball, touch football and water polo. Various other sports will be offered throughout the year. These will be promoted to your daughters each term.<\/p>\n NSW Combined Catholic Colleges (NSWCCC) is the pathway through which Sydney Catholic Schools students access NSW All Schools and Schools Sports Australia.<\/p>\n Through the SCS Inter-school Sports competition, as well as open tryouts, your daughter will have access to the representative sport offerings of NSWCCC. A link to sports offered at the NSWCCC level can be found at csnsw.sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n To help us to prepare, we invite you to discuss Inter-school Sport with your daughter and complete this Google Form<\/a> to see what sports may be offered and indicate your daughter\u2019s interest in representing St Ursula’s. This is an expression of interest only, no teams will be selected at this time.<\/p>\n It is expected that at the beginning of next term, schools will be provided with the Sports schedule for Term 1 2022 and a public website will also be available by the end of the school year.<\/p>\n If you have any questions regarding school Sport, please contact our Sports Coordinator, Mrs Jaclyn Mott, via the College email at info@stursulakingsgrove.catholic.edu.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From 2022, St Ursula\u2019s will join with all other secondary schools in offering Sport on a Thursday afternoon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-7990","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Stage Groups for Inter-school sport<\/h4>\n
