The Bishop’s Shield is taking place this weekend, 7-9 August 2026.
This year Trinity Catholic College is hosting the annual Bishop’s Shield competition where students from the four Catholic high schools in the Dunedin Diocese (Verdon College, St Peter’s College, St Kevin’s College, and Trinity Catholic College) come together and compete against one another in prepared speech, impromptu speech, junior and senior debating, junior and senior drama, junior and senior scripture, and junior and senior te reo speeches.
People are very welcome to attend any events during the weekend, including the Mass on Sunday morning (8.30am) at St Joseph’s Cathedral. See the schedule below to find out when and where each event is taking place.
