The college is passionate about sport and upholds a ‘sport-for-all’ ethos.

This enables students to develop personal competencies as well as contribute to team success.

Physical education classes are run with physical education specialists as part of the curriculum during school hours. 

Competitive sport is undertaken during the school week through School Sport SA.

Students are encouraged to represent their school in the state-wide interschool sports competitions run by School Sport SA, for which they receive coaching from both staff and students involved in the college’s Advanced Athlete Development Program.

Student-athletes from this program are either accredited in coaching or on their way to achieving their coaching certificate.

Sports days

Interschool sporting competitions are complemented by two college sports days each year: a ‘Reception to Year 3’ Sports Day and a ‘Year 4 to 12’ Sports Day.

These are among the most beloved and anticipated days in the college calendar.

Children compete in their House teams and collectively vie for the coveted House Shield (awarded to the House that exhibits the greatest athletic prowess and accrues the most Sports Day points), and the House Spirit Award (awarded to the House that exhibits the greatest camaraderie and team pride over the course of the whole year).
