Friday Sport

On a weekly basis for Years 7 to 10, students are involved in a wide range of activities in the hope of fostering lifelong involvement in physical activity.

We seek to offer our students the best facilities and coaches available in the Sutherland Shire for our Friday sports program. All cost is covered by school fees, and even if it rains, many of the activities are still able to go ahead, which is a great advantage.

Some of the activities we have offered include:

  • learning to surf at North Cronulla Beach
  • learning archery with the Shirewood Achery Club at the Ridge
  • various fitness programs at Engadine Health & Fitness Centre and Engadine Leisure Centre
  • surf survival courses
  • hip hop lessons from expert instructors
  • hockey at the Sutherland Hockey clubs’ main facility
  • Zumba at Menai Indoor Sport Centre
  • lifesaving programs for Year 7
  • lawn bowls at Engadine Lawn Bowls club
  • golf at Barden Ridge Driving Range
  • flag gridiron
