Participation in Sporting Gala Days & Representation at Competitive Sports:
School Practices
Each year Catholic Education, Diocese of Wollongong and wider community groups hold Gala Days for the following sports:
- Netball
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Touch Football (By invitation from NSW Touch)
These opportunities are for students in Years 3-6 and whilst the focus is on participation and fun, it is a requirement that the participating students have experience in the sports they are attending.
Each year students will have the opportunity to nominate themselves for these Gala Days two weeks prior to the scheduled closing date. The interested students will be required to complete their details, including their experience in the sport, on the nomination sheets provided. As each gala day has a limited number of teams each school can send, we are unable to send all nominated students and a selection process will be undertaken, with students in Years 4 and Year 6 having first priority.
All Gala Days have a small cost involved, with the exception of the Touch Gala Day.
