A warm welcome back to all students, staff, parents, carers and supporters of our Wollongong Diocesan sporting program.

We are planning for a full program of events in 2022 and start with our primary and secondary sport coordinator meetings this week.

Unfortunately COVID is still providing some challenges and there is a need for us to adopt COVID safe measure for all our events. Our sport council events are guided by advice from the NSW Government, CSNSW, and our own CEDoW leadership team. Ultimately, our most important aim is to keep everyone at our events safe as well as providing a pathway opportunity and a positive sporting experience.

Our events are bound by advice from an educational perspective and therefore at times will differ from community sport events. We ask all to be considerate of this and to be patient - we still aim to provide a great pathway of representative sport for our students.

Our primary program starts off with the following events:

• touch trials on Friday 4 Feb 
• basketball trials on Tuesday 8 Feb
• tennis trials on Tuesday 8 Feb 
• combined AFL trials on Tuesday 15 Feb and
• cricket trials on Thursday 17 Feb

From there we then move into our swimming carnivals and winter sports trials.

Our secondary program starts from week 4 with the following events:

• tennis teams event on Monday 14 Feb
• boys touch on Wednesday 23 Feb
• girls touch on Thursday 24 Feb

From there we have our swimming championships and selections in rugby league and AFL.

Wishing you all the best for the year ahead, take care out there.
