Secondary Co-curricular Sport
Secondary Co-curricular Sport
Participating in sport and physical activity, provides infinite benefits for students: improving physical fitness, personal wellbeing, cognitive development and strengthening social connections. Our aim is to develop a strong St Michael’s College culture through our SMC sporting teams.
At St Michael’s College, students who participate in club or district sports teams are required to engage in co-curricular sports as a condition of enrolment. Our goal is to inspire students to prioritise their commitment to the College, fostering a strong sense of school pride and dedication alongside their athletic ambitions. Through collaborative discussions with the Co-curricular Coordinator and Talent and Development Coordinator, we work to field our strongest teams against our most challenging opponents.
We encourage all students, parents/caregivers to read the Co-Curricular Sports Handbook below, before committing to any sport.
