Supporting the culture of belonging, growth, engagement, and companionship.

Saint Ignatius’ College offers an engaging Co-Curricular Program for students from the early years through to Year 12. These programs provide rich opportunities for students to grow in physical, cognitive, and human competencies, reflecting our Ignatian values.

Our College is proud to offer one of the broadest co-curricular programs in the state. Students are offered a wide range of age‑appropriate opportunities in sport, and in the creative and cognitive arts, ranging from joyful participation experiences through to high‑performance pathways.

Our High Performance Athlete Program, led by a dedicated staff member, provides students with access to tailored training sessions, personal development programs, and the opportunity to work with professional athletes and leading experts.

Co‑curricular engagement supports learning and enhances wellbeing by fostering a culture of belonging, growth, engagement, and companionship for students and the broader College community. Through involvement in these programs, students strengthen their sense of belonging as they form valuable connections within the smaller communities of their sports, activities, teams, and groups.

The Co‑Curricular Program also amplifies the Ignatian spirit by nurturing companionship among students, their families, teachers, and coaches.

Recognising the strong contribution co‑curricular involvement makes to personal growth and social development, students from Year 4 onwards are expected to participate in the Co‑Curricular Program each year and are provided with a wide range of opportunities through which to do so.
