Director of Sport and Co-curricular

I am pleased to say that there are 41 teams and approximately 420 students in Years 3-12 playing sports across the IGSA (Basketball, Hockey and Soccer) and IPSHA (Boys’ Football and girls’ Hockey) Competitions and ERNA Netball.

I am also happy to report that our Rep Volleyball has taken off in 2024 with a win (Year 9) and a Second Place (Year 8) in the Volleyball NSW State Schools Cup.

This year our main teams are competing at the same levels as the best clubs in Sydney at the Sydney Volleyball League. We have been accumulating some great wins and thrilling games against the best Volleyball Clubs in Sydney. This year, Santa Sabina is making history being the first school to affiliate with Volleyball NSW as a club.

We have selected an Opens team (Years 7-12) to take part in the NSWCCC Hockey Tournament in Bathurst on the 21 and 22 of May.

Congratulations to the students on the list here.

CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT NOMINATION FORM

Netball Update

The ERNA competition has had a very soggy and delayed start to the season, with two washed-out rounds already. Unfortunately, the condition of the courts puts players at greater risk of injury when it is raining. Rest assured, ERNA has purchased multiple squeegees and have put a new roster in place so that the courts can be cleaned, prepared and playable in favourable weather.

On a more positive note, the New Zealand Netball team has started training and are looking forward to a practice game against the ERNA Metro development team and Monte in the coming weeks.

IGSA Sport Update

Round 1 commenced on Saturday 4 May for Hockey and Basketball.

Unfortunately, due to all the recent wet weather, we have not been able to play Football the first two rounds. We hope that weather permits the rest of the competition to continue as scheduled.

SSC Representative Dance Program – Dance Showcase: Sunday 2 June

Our representative dancers have been working extremely hard with their coaches in their weekly training sessions as well as their weekend intensives. They have been receiving their costumes over the last few weeks and are very excited to perform and compete this season in multiple national eisteddfods.
Their first performance will be at the annual SSC Representative Dance Showcase held in the College Hall on Sunday 2 June starting at 6:30pm, doors opening to audiences at 6:15pm. We would love to see our community come together to support our representative dancers and witness their fabulous talent and team spirit.
