As part of its obligation to the Commonwealth Government, all students from Prep to Year 10 participate in at least two hours of physical activity each week. For most students this quantum of time is exceeded through PDHPE lessons and organized sport. For others this time is complemented through gymnastics and dance lessons.

Weekly Sport for Years 3 to 6

All students in Years 3 to 6 must participate in one of the following programs.

Students in Years 3 to 6 may participate in an inter-school weekly sporting competition through a body called IPSSO (Independent Primary Schools Sporting Organisation). There are seven schools in the competition. Matches are held on Wednesdays in College time after an early lunch. Students are invited to trial for places in College teams. Students selected for these teams are expected to commit to training for the duration of the term. There is an IPSSO Participation Fee payable at the end of the preceding term which contributes to meeting the costs of travel and insurance. The balance of the costs are met through the Service Fee.

Students may choose to participate in a College Sporting Program on Wednesday afternoons. This is conducted by College staff with assistance from parents and outside experts. There is no extra cost involved for parents.

Students are also given the opportunity to take part in a weekly Sports Elective Program conducted off-site at the same time as the other sports programs.

The students are supervised by College staff.  The full costs of these electives including bus travel, venue entry or hire and coaching/tuition where it is provided is met by the students participating. Minimum numbers are required to make these activities financially viable.

Towards the end of each term, students are required to make a choice for the coming term. Students may choose a different program each term.


Weekly Sport for Students in Years 7 to 10

In 2009, all students in Years 7 to 10 must participate in at least one of the following programs.

Students may trial to gain a place in a College team as part of the Tuesday afternoon inter-school competition called MISA.  MISA stands for the Macarthur Independent Schools Association. There are three seasons in the year and trials are held at the beginning of each season. All students chosen to represent the College must commit to regular training and pay a MISA Participation Fee, which helps to meet the cost of transport, referee fees and insurance.

Students not selected for MISA teams and others who choose to do so may participate in the Weekly College Sport Program. This is conducted on the College site or on nearby sporting facilities. Students are supervised by College staff with expert assistance from parents or outside tutors.

A third program, similar to that offered to primary students, is a recreational Electives Program.  The full costs of these electives, including transport, venue entry, expert tuition where it is provided and insurance are met by the participants.  Payment must be made at the beginning of the season.

College staff play a supervisory role only.
