It comes in the absence of the Ballarat Associated School Sport program, which was cancelled following the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.
The first of these will be a special football match featuring senior school students on Wednesday.
For the first time ever, indigenous/boarding students will take to the field against an All-Stars team to compete for the Taatee Shield.
The word "Taatee" hails from the Wathaurong language and means friendship. It is hoped that the match will be played in this spirit and will become an annual feature at the college.
The indigenous/boarding team will be known as the Pumarali Dreamers.
The word "pumarali" hails from the Indigenous language and means 'lightning and thunder - an appropriate term for a hybrid team set to come together.
The All-Stars team will be coached by Herald Sun Shield winning coach coach Gavin Webb, while the Pumarali Dreamers will be led by Director of Boarding Mike Silcock.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the college will be unable to allow spectators (including parents) onto the premises to watch the match.
However it will be live-streamed on the school's Facebook page.
The match will begin at 3.45pm onwards at the college's Main Oval.
