Sophie Shelley has been representing NSWCIS at the NSW All Schools Secondary Girls Cricket Championships in Maitland.

Sophie has represented this team previously and will continue to have a fantastic time playing the sport she loves. 

CIS Primary Swimming Championships

Our amazing squad of swimmers competed at the CIS Primary Swimming Championships at SOPAC last week. It is very exciting to represent both our school and CSSA at such an elite level of competition.

This team of swimmers have performed so well that they are the largest team to qualify for CIS from all Christian Schools across NSW. We have never had the biggest team at CIS so it is a credit to the efforts of our wonderful athletes.

Primary Athletics Training 

Every Friday during sport time, students have been working through the various skills involved in Athletics. Each week, they have been practising techniques with all of the field events (long jump, high jump, discus, shot put) as well as sprints. This is in preparation for our Primary Athletics Carnival in Term 2 Week 1.

Cross Country Club

The Primary students will begin their training for Cross Country at our new Cross Country Club, held every Friday at recess on the oval. Students will have a warm up first, before going through a number of different endurance skills, such as steady runs, interval training and hill sprints.

Cross Country Training Program

Please find a Cross Country Training Program (click on Cross Country Training Program to access) that students from Years 2-12 can use in preparation for our Cross Country Carnival on Tuesday 4 May (Term 2 Week 4). With Zone Cross Country held on Week 5 and CSSA in Week 6, the first three levels of Cross Country are in a three week period.

It is ideal for those students who want to compete needing to peak at this time. Only the top four from our School Carnival go to Zone, the top 15 go to CSSA.

The Cross Country season kicks off in Term 2, with the following carnivals:

  • GPCC Secondary Carnival to be held on Tuesday 4 May at Hylton Moore Oval (Week 3)
  • Zone Secondary Cross Country to be held on Tuesday 18 May (Week 5)
  • CSSA Secondary Cross Country to be held on Friday 28 May (Week 6).

This means that the first three levels of Cross Country occur in a three week period.

For those students who love to train and c

ompete in Cross Country, it would be ideal that they are close to peaking when we hit our GPCC Carnival.

To progress through the levels, this is what students need to aim for:

  • Top 4 in each age group from School Carnival will progress to Zone
  • Top 15 now (with restrictions lifting) at Zone move through to CSSA
  • Top 10 go to CIS

Please feel free to email Mr Lambert to keep him updated on your student's progress. 

Primary and Secondary Rugby Union Trials

Our Primary Rugby Union trials will begin over the next week, with students beginning with tackling bag practise and skill work. Mr Sneyd is taking the students through their paces, with assistance by Michael Burgess from NSWRU. Secondary students will be able to have their first rugby trial in Week 10 with Mr Wellington, Mr Heard and Mr Burgess.
