There are many sporting opportunities available to our students that families can get involved with, out of school hours.
Our Health and Physical Education sporting activities provide a strong base from which students can springboard into a wide variety of sporting codes. We encourage and support active participation in team sports outside of school hours.
Our teachers coordinate many of the sporting opportunities, and we rely on an amazing team of parent coaches and managers to run the teams during the season. Fair play and using our Vision form the base of behaviour expectations.
