Villa Sports Volunteering – We Need You!
To all our Basketball and Rugby League parents – a reminder that your help in the Goold Hall Canteen and Villanova Park Canteens and BBQ plays a vital role in the success of Villa Sport. We are calling for volunteers to assist with the smooth running of fixtures at both venues.
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
- Ensuring funds raised go directly back into Villa sport – not to outside catering companies
- Strengthening the Villa community through shared effort and pride
A small contribution from many makes a BIG difference.
Please keep an eye out for volunteer sign-up links in the Villanova College App and The Locker Room – your time, even just an half an hour while your boy warms up, truly counts!
Thank you for being part of what makes Villa strong – on and off the field.
Sign-up is quick and easy – no account or password is required, and your email address will not be shared. Every role contributes to ensuring a safe and enjoyable day for all.
VOLUNTEER CALLOUT (SATURDAY, JULY 26):
· Please register via https://signup.com/go/MLrNJni (Villa Park Canteen)
· Please register via https://signup.com/go/HQEvwML (Goold Hall Canteen)
Thank you in advance for your support – our community relies on it.
Round 1 Schedule published (July 26)
The full fixture schedule for this weekend's AIC Trial matches is now live - via the bolded text.
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. Further details will be shared in Week 3 of Term 3.
Please note: If any changes or cancellations occur, the Villanova College App will be updated accordingly.

Please note: a revised schedule will apply from Week 2 onwards, with fewer sessions held at the Clem Jones Centre following the completion of trials.

A reminder that the Villa Park Canteen is now cashless – only card or contactless payments will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding and support, as we streamline our operations.
