Co-Curricular Sport

In pursuit of the development of the whole person, all students across Ignatius Early Years, Junior School and Senior School, are encouraged to engage in the wide range of sporting activities are that are offered. These activities are organised, supervised, and coached by specialist coaches, staff members, parents, and Old Ignatians.

The sporting Co-Curricular Program allows students to participate in regular exercise, which is vital for growing bodies. It also provides the opportunity to experience an activity that may become a lifelong interest.

Character development is encouraged in the sporting Co-Curricular Program in a variety of ways. Students learn about commitment, group work, leadership, work ethic, and perseverance. They also learn how to win humbly and lose graciously.

Students and teams of exceptional ability are given the chance to participate and represent the College at the highest levels. The College's High Performance Athlete Program provides support for our highest achieving and representative athletes. This may involve exciting interstate trips for national competitions.

While most sports are played as part of a competition, there are a number of select sports and teams that cater for those who prefer a non-competitive setting. Students involved at a high level in activities outside of the College are also supported.
