The Combined Independent Colleges (CIC) Junior Sports Association is a group of 14 independent schools in Queensland and one is located on the Gold Coast.
The association is primarily dedicated to the promotion and organisation of sport between the member colleges but other co-curricular activities such as chess and debating are also conducted.
The CIC was originally known as the CCC (Combined Catholic Colleges) but changed after some Anglican schools were accepted into the association.
Other schools who have previously been members include; De La Salle College, St. Columban's College, Marcellin College, St. Paul's School, John Paul College, Ormiston College and Canterbury College.
The executive of the association rotates amongst the member schools from year to year. In 2011 the President is from Nudgee College. Moreton Bay Boys' College will take over the presidency in 2012.

“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”

“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
