Our excellent sporting facilities are supplemented through our partnership with Victoria University which provides access to their extensive indoor and outdoor facilities.
Our formal Sports program is compulsory for Year 7, 8 and 9 students and is part of the weekly timetable. The program emphasises skill development, teamwork, and team spirit. It is designed to engage and challenge all students to reach the best of their potential, regardless of fitness or ability levels.
