Catholic schools in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle encourage and support students to develop positive lifelong attitudes to participation, competition and healthy living. We aim to offer a wide range of sports, equal opportunities for all students, across a range of levels to meet the needs and interests of all.
Students are offered a variety of experiences and opportunities from primary through to high school to display and further develop their talents at a school and diocesan level, as well as opportunities to compete at state and national levels. Check out our Diocesan Primary and Secondary sporting pathways below.
