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.

“The ex-Presidential situation has its advantages, but with them are certain drawbacks. The correspondence is large. The meritorious demands on one are large. More independent out than in place, but still something of the bondage of the place that was willingly left. On the whole, however, I find many reasons to be content.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the field and the work-yard made.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
