Middle School Zone Days – Year 7 & 8 Students

Middle School Zone Days are opportunities for top-performing Year 7 and 8 school sports teams to represent the school in interschool competitions.

Selection for these events is based on participation in school sports top team or student performance, depending on the sport participating in. Please note that participation in Zone Days is by invitation only.

For individual sports, an expression of interest form will be advertised in Kamar notices to the students. Selection may occur through trials or existing rankings, depending on the level of interest and the nature of the sport.

In instances where the school does not currently have a team for a particular sport, trials may be held for students who play competitively, to determine if a team can be formed.

The events listed below are examples of what we typically offer. However, participation is subject to change based on year level, other calendar commitments, and team availability. We reserve the right to withdraw from any event if necessary.

Game Day Complaints
Please DO NOT submit complaints against the opposing team, players, or coaching staff directly to the sporting centre or other schools without first consulting the Teacher in Charge (TIC) and/or Sports Department. There is a formal procedure for addressing such issues, and it must go through the school.

Exceptions: In netball, if the opposing team or umpire is not adhering to fair play rules, you may request a member from the control centre to observe the game in progress. This is typically made at the coach or manager request. If you have to report a game please e-mail details to the sports dept for their information.

Any complaints please contact [email protected]
