It is the policy of the Associated and Catholic Colleges to recognize outstanding individual achievement through the provision of Honorary and Representative All Star teams. These "All Star" teams are referred to as "Honorary" as an acknowledgement of individual selection where teams and individuals do not actually play in competitions. "All Star" teams that actually play in competition are referred to as "Representative". Previous to 2013 these teams were all titled "Representative Teams".
Honorary "All Star" teams are selected in athletics [1], swimming [2] and cross country [3]. The team is an "All ACC" honorary team consisting of the best performer(s) in each event across all schools and divisions within the association.
Representative "All Star" teams are currently selected in Basketball [4], Cricket [5] and Netball [6]. These teams play in a representative exhibition match against the Combined Government Schools team.
It is a great achievement to be selected in an All Star team across more than 80 schools. All students selected in an All Star team are presented with a commemorative badge and certificate of acknowledgment from the ACC.

All Star Letters [7]
First introduced in 2013, the awarding of "ACC Letters" is the highest individual accolade awarded by the ACC. To receive "Letters", a student must be selected in an All Star team in the same sport for the prescribed minimum number of years. The number of years does not have to be consecutive, but the years are not cumulative across sports.
Students can check their All Star Letters status on the all time All Star list [8]. Download and open the PDF file and do a search for your name. The file will display each student that has been selected in an All Star or representative team since 2009. The sport, student name, school, year selected and number of selections will be displayed. If you have achieved selection in the same sport for at least 3 or 4 years then you are eligible to receive your ACC Letters.
