Rugby League Rising Stars: Showcasing Talent on the Field

RUGBY LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE PATHWAY

Over the past two terms, our Secondary students have undergone a rigorous Rugby League selection process. Pathway opportunities for both boys and girls require progression through Diocesan, Metropolitan, and NSWCCC selections. Boys can trial in the U15 and U18 divisions, while girls have opportunities in the U16 and U18 divisions.Despite persistent wet weather, we successfully facilitated the Broken Bay trials in Term 1, thanks to St Edward’s generous offer of their fields. Our CSBB staff, rich in Rugby League expertise, enthusiastically supported the process through selections, coaching, and mentorship.

Through our ongoing collaboration with Parramatta Diocese at the Metropolitan level, our students had the chance to compete against highly skilled Rugby League players for a spot in the combined teams. The NSWCCC selection trials faced unprecedented wet weather at the start of Term 2 but were ultimately completed, allowing our students to showcase their talent against top players from Northern Country, Southern Country, Sydney Catholic Schools, and Parramatta Diocese. In the boys' pathway, those who do not secure a spot in the Metropolitan teams have an alternative opportunity—selection into the ‘Presidents’ teams, which comprise students from various dioceses who compete at the trials for further selection.
