Interschool Sport
Interschool sport is divided into Junior (Year 7 - 9) on a
Tuesday afternoon, and Senior (Year 10-12) on a Wednesday afternoon. Students have the opportunity to engage in a
range of different sports in two seasons during the school year. They play
against schools in the Central District region, and can advance into Metropolitan
finals in specific sports. Sandgate is always strongly represented in all
sports by both males and females where we showcase our sporting talent to our
opposition. Sports include but are not
limited to Touch Football, Cricket, Basketball, European Handball, Volleyball,
Softball, Netball and Football.
Any students not selected or not wishing to compete at the
interschool level participate in our school sport rotations. A variety of
sports are offered and student’s form class groups that rotate through those
sports every 3 – 4 weeks. This is purely aimed at participation and physical
activity, so all students can participate in a supportive, fun environment.
Below are just a few of the extra-curricular opportunities
Sandgate offer to our students for sport.
