Round 5 Photo Schedule & Fixture Draw published (August 30)
Follow draw changes and cancellations on the College app.
The full fixture draw for this weekend's AIC matches is now live.
Team lists will be published by Friday midday through Student Cafe and Parent Lounge (note: Basketball will become available by Thursday, due to Years 5 and 6 Friday matches).
Due to venue constraints and team nomination limits in Trimester 3, some students may not be selected for AIC teams following trials at the end of Week 1. Villanova College will offer an alternative option – the ‘Colours Cup’ internal Basketball competition – for those not selected. Students were to register by Monday of Week 4, Term 3, through accessing Morning Notices.

When you volunteer, you are:
- Supporting our boys, coaches, officials and fellow parents with well priced food options such as our famous bacon and egg wraps
