All students are encouraged and have the opportunity to trial/register for any sport/s at Marist College. There are many one day tournaments as well as weekly competitions throughout the year allowing every student the chance to take part in sport. Seasonal sports will require students to commit to attending 2 training sessions a week and one game a week.

Students are given ample information regarding fees. However actual costs are set annually and may change from year to year. These fees are based on various entry and transport costs. If financial implications are an issue for participation we would like to encourage students and parents to speak to the Sports Department as soon as possible.

Fees information

All students who take part must pay a fee before they participate. The deadlines are stated on the permission slips. In exceptional circumstances a written application may be lodged by the Sports Department for financial assistance on behalf of a student.

If fees are overdue the Sports Department has the right to remove or stand a student down from participating in that sport and all other sports until the debt is paid. Students with unpaid sport fees from the previous year will not be allowed to trial until the debt has been paid or a payment plan has been sorted. The Sports Department has an open door policy and students are encouraged to keep good communication if paying fees is as issue.

Non – payment of seasonal fees or accrued debt from past years (Sports) may result in a student not being given permission to attend a National event regardless of their experience or role within a team.

Weekly sports played AFTER school

For sports that take place after school (start and finish after 3:10pm) Marist College will provide transport to the venue only. Marist does not provide transport back to school or to individual homes. Parents/guardians are required to collect/arrange collection from the venue at the end of the game/match. In extreme circumstances or games further afield, this situation may change on these occasions students will be dropped back at school at the end of the game/match.
