All dates and times are set as above but may be subject to change. All trials are compulsory for all students wishing to play in a netball team (excludes senior social teams).

Year 7 & 8 students will be invited to trial approximately 4 weeks prior to the zones day to complete team selection and begin training.
 

Team Selection

Teams are selected at the discretion of the sports department and the selectors. Factors that are taken into consideration include trial attendance, trial performance, organisation and fee payments.

St Dominic’s Catholic College has a long and strong history of successful lawn bowls teams and individual players. We are current Auckland Pairs champions and have been NZ Secondary Schools champions three times. Students from years 9-13 are invited to come down and ‘have a go’ at no cost during February and March before signing up. Tournaments run intermittently throughout the year. The weekly inter school league is played in term 3.
 

 

The sports department offers and facilitates a number of one-day tournaments/events for students of all ages to participate in.   These include but are not limited to:
 

Football	Basketball	Volleyball
Turbo Touch	Touch	Tag
Ki O Rahi	Orienteering	Swimming
Lawn Bowls	Petanque	Mountain Biking
Hockey	Cross Country	Softball
Cricket	Dragon Boating	Crossfit / College Games

 

Year 7 & 8 sport is run by AAIMS - a separate organisation to our college sport (Run by College Sport Auckland and NZ Sport). (For further information: https://www.sporty.co.nz/aaimsyear78sports)
 

The idea of this is to get as many students competing at their skill level and within similar age groups. Each sport is organized into One Day Tournaments throughout each term. The sport season follows what College Sport Auckland offers to our college school (yr 9 – 13). This helps with students who play for both school and clubs within that sport.
 

Most fees are paid through our affiliation fees, with the exception of transport, if the College Van is available. We sometimes depend on parent help with transport and will send out a request along with a permission letter. Your support in this would be greatly appreciated.
 

We aim to select tournaments that encourage broader student participation while also considering the seasonal sprots and tournaments already scheduled through College Sport Auckland.
 

When we have been given the opportunity to compete, our focus is on participation. We have been working with both College Sport Auckland and AAIMS events to encourage this. Intra-school competitions have enabled the college to prepare for our Western Zone One day tournaments through College Sport Auckland.
 

We are blessed to be able to organize a team to represent St Dominic’s Catholic College as we know our community is always keen to support our students. You are more than welcome to attend any sport we participate in.
