Senior Campus

Sport

We believe that participation in sport builds confidence, teamwork, and resilience — qualities that support lifelong learning both on and off the field. Our students benefit from a wide range of opportunities to be active and engaged. From local school events to Diocesan carnivals and representative pathways, CSBB schools celebrate sport as an important part of student wellbeing and personal development. 

Primary Sports Participation Opportunities (Non-Pathway) 

Our interschool events offer all students in Years 3-6 the opportunity to represent their schools and experience the joy of sport. These events are designed to encourage widespread participation, centred on representing school spirit and developing both skills and sportsmanship. Participation is coordinated by school staff in consultation with the Principal and sports personnel, ensuring every eligible student can participate and represent their school proudly. 

These events are designed to be inclusive, with modified games to accommodate various skill levels including Football (Soccer), Touch-tag, Netball, Tennis and Golf. These offerings are periodically assessed to ensure they remain engaging and current. 

Representative Pathways- Primary (Ages 8-13) 

Our Representative Pathway events cater to high potential and gifted athletes, offering them a competitive environment to develop their skills and gain selection to State and National levels. 

Eligible students are provided detailed event information by their schools. The representative pathway for Primary students is ‘NSWCPS – Polding’ (NSW Catholic Primary Schools, Polding) encompassing the Northern half of the state’s Catholic primary schools and includes five dioceses – Armidale, Bathurst, Lismore, Maitland/Newcastle and Wilcannia/Forbes. 

Specifically targeting Year 5 and 6 students with representative-level skills, our program offers sports including: Australian Football, Basketball, Cricket, Football, Golf, Hockey, Netball, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Softball and Tennis. Opportunities in Swimming, Cross Country, and Athletics are available for students in Years 3-6, following selections at school-level trials.
