We are lucky to have such extensive beautiful grounds and the students are encouraged to run and enjoy them.
Our older students are responsible for the lending out of sports equipment at lunch time and all students have access to sporting equipment. The students are able to use the tennis courts, half basketball court, large oval and undercover area for ball games.
A range of sports opportunities are provided at our school and with other schools. At all times we emphasise participation as well as providing opportunities for students to excel.

Our school provides a program of intra-school competition in a range of sports.
