Calliope State School and the Port Curtis district offers a wide opportunity for students in sport. Throughout the year, Calliope State School sporting teams compete in many interschool sporting competitions such as Netball, Rugby League, Volleyball and Soccer. Students will be notified of upcoming trials for these team sports. Students who are selected in a Calliope State School sport team must be available for training sessions during lunch times and be able to attend the interschool competitions with parental/carer supervision.

Students who are competitive in their chosen sport also have the opportunity to trial for the 10-12 years Port Curtis teams. The PC (Port Curtis) Primary School Sport involves schools in Gladstone extending south to Miriam Vale, north to Ambrose and west to the Callide area of Biloela.

In Term 1, there are PC trials for Volleyball, Netball, AFL, Basketball, Touch, Squash, Rugby League, Hockey and Soccer. Students wanting to trial, must demonstrate a high level of skill at a representative standard. The selection criteria is based on the individual skills shown during the skills session and game play at the trials. Behaviour and attitude are also taken into account.

If your child is interested in trialling for one of the sports in Term 1, please make sure they let Mrs Betts know. In some cases, there is a limit of how many students are allowed to trial from each school. For these sports Mrs Betts will hold trials at school during lunch breaks. Students must be selected by Mrs Betts and receive the PC information letter from her to trial.

Every student trialling for Port Curtis teams must hand in a student permission details booklet on the day of the trial. Without this booklet, students will not be able to participate and will be ineligible for selection.  Please see below the link to access the Representative School Sport Permission Details Booklet. This link will take you to the Cap Sport website where there is the link for the paperwork.

Mrs Betts (PE Teacher) and Ms Mackenzie (Principal) must sign this form before you take it to the trials. If needed you may email a completed student permission booklet to Mrs Betts (cbett49@eq.edu.au) at least three days before the trials and she will print the booklet and get it signed for you in time to take to the trials.
