The two sports he'll be trialing for are rugby league and Aussie rules after spending his junior career at Kempsey Dragons and Macleay Valley Eagles.

"My favourite sport is rugby league so that's what I'll be aiming for", Justice told the Argus.

"I'm really excited to get down there."

With his favourite team being the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Justice hopes he can one day make it to that level and emulate the feats of his favourite player, Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds.

Justice will be joining his 13 year-old brother, Ralph, at the school after previously being accepted a few years ago for his Aussie rules and cricket talents.

Ralph also played for the Eagles as well as Rovers in cricket.

"He loves it down there, he couldn't get wait to get back to the school after being sent home due to holidays and COVID-19," Ralph and Justice's father, Allan, said.

Justice will be joining Ralph in boarding at the Kirinari Aboriginal Hostel that provides accommodation for Indigenous peoples attending Hunter Sports High School and other high schools in Newcastle.
