College Sport
Sport plays a significant role in the development of a young person and helps them to discover the sense of belonging intrinsic to being a part of a team. Through sport, students learn to win with humility and lose with grace, celebrating the rewards of their dedication and commitment.
Sporting programs offer a range of opportunities accessible to all, including competitive interschool sporting competitions and participation-based options such as Coastal Associated Schools (CAS) Sports.
The College participates in Associated and Catholic Colleges (ACC) carnivals for swimming, cross-country, and athletics. The ACC is a network of high schools across Perth who compete in a series of competitions designed to showcase the talents and abilities of our young athletes.
The College’s interschool sport programs include:
- Summer and Winter terms CAS
- Champion Schools Tournaments
- Associated Catholic Colleges (ACC) Carnivals
- Interschool Lightning Carnivals
The College’s Sporting Academy has a focus on four specialist sports, including Australian Rules Football, soccer, netball and basketball.
