2021 Representative Sporting Teams

A lot of students (and parents) ask each year how the system works and what students have to do in order to trial and be selected into SJRC teams.  We explain it below.

There are five tiers of representation:

1. SJRC Team
   • Students nominate for teams using our SJRC Sport Team Nomination Form.  Eligible students are emailed the form link and must nominate by the deadline - this varies for each team.
     • To nominate students must agree to the SJRC Sporting Code of Conduct and the SJRC Withdrawal From a Sporting Team Agreement.  The form also collects email addresses and therefore students must be logged in to their college Google account when filling in the form.
     • For most sports nomination emails are sent out eight weeks before competition.
   • Once the nomination deadline has passed details of the students who nominated is passed onto coaches. They then email students with details of team trials.
   • Our complete sporting calendar is found at the SJRC Sport Website.  It includes nomination links for Diocesan & CCC Sports.
   • We also enter competitions that are NSW All Schools events and consist of three levels - school, region and state.  Touch football, netball, rugby league, volleyball and rugby union.
     
     
2. Lismore Diocesan Team
   • In certain sports there are trials for Diocesan Teams.
     • The Diocesan Winter Sport Trials (held at Woodlawn) select teams for 15s & Open Boys Rugby League and Open Boys & Girls Soccer.
     • Diocesan Touch Teams are selected through a trial held in Coffs Harbour
     • Swimming, Cross Country & Athletics all have a Diocesan carnival.

3. NSW Catholic Combined Colleges Team (NSWCCC)
   • Generally Diocesan Teams attend NSWCCC trials and are selected this way. For sports that are not run at Diocesan level there are selection trails held in different locations around the state.  Students nominate (via their parents) through the NSWCCC Website.
     
     
4. NSW All Schools Team
   • NSWCCC Teams compete against Combined High Schools and Combined Independent Schools.  A NSW All Schools Team is selected from this competition.
     
     
5. School Sport Australia
   • NSW All Schools Teams compete on a national level against teams from other states.
   • Sometimes there are Australian Touring teams selected after this competition.
