Regional Sports Restructure Prompts Berry's Northern Migration to "Tongarra"

Regional Sports Changes

In 2019 South Coast PSSA restructured the South Coast Sport Region because of declining enrolments in some districts and other districts that had growing enrolments. Shoalhaven District was extended south to take in all South Shoalhaven schools as far as Ulladulla. This meant that the Shoalhaven was now a district of twenty-two schools with over three thousand primary enrolments.

Berry was asked to join Tongarra PSSA in 2020 which we have now done. Tongarra is a district that comprises of nine schools: Berry, Gerringong, Kiama, Minnamurra, Jamberoo, Albion Park, Albion Park Rail, Mount Terry and Tulimbar. The primary enrolment is just over two thousand students.

It does mean some changes. District trials for Senior Primary will occur now for all sports in the Tongarra District. Zone trials will be a combination of Tongarra and the Shoalhaven.

Carnivals will be at Albion Park for swimming with regional still at Dapto Pool.

Cross country for the school will be Willandra, district at Kiama and regional at Willandra.

The athletics carnival will be Berry Showground for the school, Kiama for district and Canberra for regional.
