Welcome to another year of sport at Carroll College for those returning students and I would like to offer a warm welcome to all our Year 7 students and new enrolments. Sports plays an integral role in college life and not only helps promote an active lifestyle but also helps foster and develop relationships with fellow peers and staff. I am excited for the year ahead! 

For those students commencing in Year 7 and for all students new to the college in other year levels, we have a wide range of sporting opportunities that occur throughout the year. From our swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals to local school-based sporting competitions, the opportunities are numerous and participation is always encouraged. Representation can occur through Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese level or Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) as an individual or part of a team. 

The majority of our sporting events are already on the College Calendar which can be accessed on the Sentral Portal https://sentral.ccb.nsw.edu.au/webcal/calendar/2. All other events that may come up during the year will be announced on the student notices via Sentral. Staff running the event will put a sign-up sheet on the student notice board and it will be the students' responsibility to read the Sentral notices and sign up for teams or events.

All Archdiocesan events can be found on the following link: https://www.sport.cg.catholic.edu.au/calendar. 

Parents who wish to register their child for any Archdiocesan or Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC) event must do so via the website which can be found at https://csnsw.sport/ (many parents of students from St. Mary’s or St. Bernards will already have done so and you may use the same account at CCB). It is the parent responsibility to ensure their child is registered for any events.
