Wide variety of sports on offer
Our school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities that cater to the various needs, experiences and abilities of our students. This allows our young people to develop their talents and interests, celebrate their culture and give service to both the school and wider community.
The core sports listed in the Sports Guide are those for which there is consistently high participation, success, or codes we are prioritising. The other codes are sports that we offer on a case-by-case scenario and that we aim to develop into our core programme in the near future.
