What is Varsity?
Varsity is an annual sports competition, typically between two rival or geographically close teams.
It is a multi-sport event with a schedule of different games throughout the day.
The winning institution will have won most games and will secure bragging rights for 12 months!
It is a fantastic opportunity to bring our sporting communities together, participate in healthy competition, stay active in the off-season, and form friendships and connections with opposition students.
(Timeline coming soon!!)
