Sport

Sporting opportunities

At St Columba Anglican School, we know that sport is an essential part of a well-rounded education. Whether it's for enjoyment, staying active, or the thrill of competing, our aim is to provide the highest standard of coaching, competitions, and sporting facilities, ensuring every student, regardless of their ability, has the opportunity to thrive.

From the first day in Kindergarten, our students are encouraged to get involved in sport. Events like Swimming, Athletics, and Cross Country carnivals build school spirit and give younger students a taste of competition but also serve as stepping stones for older students aiming to compete at higher levels.

Our extensive co-curricular sports program begins in Primary School and continues through to Year 12, offering a wide range of sports so every child can find a sport they love or are inspired to take to the next level. For those with elite aspirations, SCAS provides pathways to compete at state and national levels, supported by flexible before and after school training sessions.

Students represent the school in local competitions, Hunter Region Independent Sport (HRIS) events, and interschool fixtures with schools both locally and further afield. Through sport, they learn humility, teamwork, and the importance of celebrating achievements with grace. These values, alongside goal-setting and perseverance, shape SCAS athletes into well-rounded individuals.

Sport is also a cornerstone of our wellbeing framework. It builds fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship while fostering a love of healthy competition. At SCAS, we believe sport is about more than winning — it’s about growth, belonging, and creating a lifelong foundation of health and wellbeing. Choosing our School means your child will be part of a community that values their development, both on and off the field.
