Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools – SATIS
The College is a member of the SATIS an inter-school sporting competition that gives students the opportunity to compete in a variety of team sports. Both experienced and beginner players are encouraged to participate with the competition being an element of the College’s extensive co-curricular offerings.
Support from staff, parents and friends plays an integral role in the success of the sports program. Parents are encouraged to support their child’s involvement in a team by offering to coach, manage, umpire or score for teams.
MacKillop Catholic College runs an intra-school swimming, athletics and cross-country carnival each year. The emphasis is on maximum participation and the fostering of house spirit. Each child is placed into one of the College House groups. These carnival days are lots of fun and students of all abilities participate at their own level. Representative teams are chosen from our school carnivals, and these students compete against other schools in the SATIS Carnivals.
