Sports
Sport forms an important part of the life at Ryan Catholic College. Students are encouraged to be involved in a diverse range of sporting activities.
Ryan Catholic College has built a proud sporting reputation. Students are encouraged to compete for regional, state and national representation in a variety of sports. We have many sporting competitions offered to students through the TPSS (Townsville Primary School Sport) and TSSS (Townsville Secondary School Sport Association), each term of the year.
Interschool (TPSS) and Block Sport (TSSS)
Students form teams in sports offered for their age group, within that term. Each team competes against other schools in Townsville over a 5-6 week period, one afternoon a week. Sports can be played at a central venue eg. AFL grounds, Murray, or home/away grounds.
TPSS/TSSS/NQ Trials
Students may attend, or be selected from Cluster Trials to attend, the Townsville, and then if successful, North Queensland representative team selection trials. In attending these trials, students are expected to understand the costs and commitment involved if selected in the representative team. Those sports with fewer numbers of interest will go straight through to NQ trials.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land and waters, the Wulgurukaba, and that this country has been a place of learning and ceremony for tens of thousands of years. We also acknowledge the neighbouring language groups as brothers and sisters of the land. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. May we walk gently and peacefully on this land together.
