Hi Sports Fans!

Welcome to another year of sport at RVSSC! We are hoping this is our best yet! There is a number of key bits of information you should be aware of in order to make this year as smooth as possible.

District Sport

District Sport is the sporting pathway to play for Met West, State and eventually national sporting teams. At Ripley Valley we are a part of the central comet district which includes schools from Springfield to inner Ipswich schools. To make these teams you need to participle in the district trials, which can be found on the met west website: https://metwestschoolsport.eq.edu.au/district-sport/our-districts/central-comets

In order to attend these trials students have to be nominated by Mr Clifford. Nominations for these events went out in the beginning of January to parent email and social media and went out again on the college sport assembly and daymap. Nominations are now closed.

If you are invited to the trial, Mr. Clifford will give you your paperwork during school hours. You will need to get your parents to fill this out and take it with you to the trial to give to the coach of the team.

District Swimming is nominations are open until the end of the week. You can nominate by clicking
