| The school has an
active House Sports program, with three houses, Dargo,
Timbarra, and Wentworth.
These house names are derived from the names of rivers in the local
district. Each house elects a male and female house captain at the start
of each year.
The school runs a house championship each year, where points earned in
various sports accumulate to determine the annual winner. Events that
count towards the final house totals are the House Swimming, House
Athletics, Cross-Country, other intraschool Activities, and all individual
and team interschool sports.
Other popular sports at the school include volleyball, tennis,
netball, soccer, basketball, table tennis, squash and badminton. Many of our staff and students also compete in local weekend sports
teams, including tennis, football, netball and golf.
