SPORT

Sport is a very important part of the School’s culture and we have built a comprehensive program and an impressive track record of success across a wide range of sports. Through participation in sport, students nurture relationships with a range of people and learn important skills that they can apply to all areas of their lives. We also have the culture, staff and facilities to fully support and encourage our students to pursue specific sporting achievements and potentially prepare for a professional sporting career.

Our House structure at Grammar sees very strong, but friendly competition in Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country for all students. Our membership in both the BAS (Ballarat Associated Schools’) and ICCES (Independent Country Co-Educational Schools’) sporting associations provides our students with the opportunity to participate in a very vibrant and challenging co-curricular program. Each year, high levels of students participate in some 30+ activities, with each term providing students with many options to choose from; individual or team, indoor or outdoor and competitive interschool competitions or recreational pursuits.

The BAS competition played against local Ballarat schools include the following sports: Athletics, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Cricket, Cross-Country, Football, Golf, Hockey, Lawn Bowls, Netball, Racquetball, Rowing, Soccer, Squash, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis and Volleyball.

The ICCES competition played against seven other regional independent schools include: Athletics, Cricket, Cross-Country, Swimming, Tennis and Volleyball.

Recreational or Club Sport activities available to all students to stay fit and healthy include; Clay Target Shooting, Badminton, Croquet, Dance, Equestrian, Fitness Classes, Mountain Biking, Sailing, Tennis, Track Cycling, Swimming and Weights.
