Sport Opportunities

Our school offers a diverse range of competitive and social sporting opportunities throughout the year. Participation in the sporting program is optional, with activities designed to cater to students of all skill levels. Below is a detailed overview of the programs available to help parents and students understand our offerings

Southern Schools Zone Sport Program

The Zone Sport Program focuses on participation and is open to students of all skill levels. Weekly games are held against other schools in the Southern Zone on a home-and-away basis. Please note: Nominations will be open a few weeks before each season starts. We strive to ensure all students have opportunities to participate throughout the year, and student participation is actively monitored to achieve this. While we do our best to accommodate as many students as possible, we cannot guarantee a spot each season. To ensure fairness and provide opportunities for all students, team selections are made based on availability and overall participation throughout the year.
