The Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn Catholic Schools Soccer Carnival is an annual event held in Canberra starting back from the late 1990's where around 100 teams compete in a soccer carnival in one day. The Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn Catholic Schools Soccer Carnival has a long history and tradition for Canberra Catholic schools going back to the late 1990’s where the first carnival was
coordinated by St Bede’s Primary School in Red Hill. Each year a different ACT Catholic School hosts the Soccer Carnival and this year Holy Spirit Primary School in Nicholls will coordinate the carnival. The vision of Holy Spirit is: Alive with the Spirit, we celebrate faith, learning and life. The primary focus of the Soccer Carnival is to promote healthy lifestyle choices and teamwork to the children through the world's game, Soccer! The Carnival also allows the schools to build upon the Catholic school community through this inter school carnival and act as a key fundraiser for the host school. This is the single largest sporting event held annually by the Canberra Catholic Schools. It will see 1,200 Canberra children across 100 teams participate in the carnival, being cheered on by their family and friends.
