Every year the Diocese of Wollongong conducts trials for a variety of sports.  Students who are successful during these trials represent the Diocese of Wollongong at MacKillop Level (against elite students from Wagga, Canberra / Goulburn, Sydney & Parramatta) and if selected may represent at the NSWPSSA State level as a member of the MacKillop team. 

Students are required to be experienced players and extremely talented at their chosen sport. These trials are not gala days or school - based carnivals. They have not been designed for students “to come and try or for the experience.” They are for students who are elite at their sport and expect to make it to the next level. 

If you would like to nominate your child in ANY of the below sports, please contact Mr Astill so that a nomination form can be sent home, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  School - based decisions about nominations will be made when they are received to determine if students will be nominated.  Nominations due 18 October 2022. 

Some of the trials for 2023 are being held in Term 4 this year, while others are held next year.
