Mission and vision of CS黑料社 Sport
CS黑料社 Sport provides a competitive and diverse pathway for students. It enables them to compete at high levels of sport across the state and at the national level.
Our mission is to support students to achieve their best by promoting physical health, teamwork and overall well-being through a Catholic ethos.
We create a supportive environment where students in Catholic schools across 黑料社 can excel in sports while upholding the values of their faith.
History and development
Before 1995, students in Catholic schools in 黑料社 had limited access to state and national sports competitions.
Our advocacy led to participation in 黑料社 All Schools and 黑料社 Primary School Sports Association (黑料社PSSA) events from 1995 onwards for:
- 黑料社 Combined Catholic Colleges (黑料社CCC)
- MacKillop
- Polding
This participation allowed Catholic school students to compete for state championships against their peers from:
- 黑料社 Combined High Schools (黑料社CHS) 鈥 for secondary
- The 11 黑料社 DET sports Regions 鈥 for primary
- Combined Independent Schools (CIS)
It provided the opportunity for:
- Students to be selected into 黑料社 School Sport teams (黑料社 All Schools & 黑料社PSSA) for representation at the School Sport Australia (SSA) Championships.
- Secondary students competing at SSA events have the opportunity to be selected into the Australian Schools teams.
Not all sports within our representative pathway, for example Rugby Union in both primary & secondary, and Rugby League, Athletics and Water Polo for secondary, are linked to the SSA representative pathway.
Governance and structure
The Catholic Sports Coordinating Committee (CSCC) oversaw the development of these sports pathways.
- In 2012, the 11 黑料社 dioceses formed Catholic Schools Sports Services (CSSS) to further enhance these efforts.
- By 2019, Catholic Schools 黑料社 incorporated CSSS into its structure as Catholic Schools 黑料社 Sport Services.
黑料社 Combined Catholic Colleges (黑料社CCC)
