Sport
At St Mary’s Catholic College, we recognise that quality sport and physical activity at school has a positive influence on students' confidence, competence, health and motivation to be active at school and throughout their life.
Sport plays a significant role in school life, and we recognise that students have different interests and strengths. Students are provided with a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities to compete in school carnivals, Regional, State and National level competitions.
At St Mary’s Catholic College, we inspire your child to be active and experience joyful and meaningful competition within our safe learning environment. We acknowledge the important part that sports can play in the development of teamwork, leadership skills, positive social connections, self-discipline, growth mindset and patience as our students become active and value-based members of society.
At St Mary’s Catholic College, we want our students to reach their full potential and experience their personal best, creating life-long memorable moments. Our students can participate in the Diocese of Lismore structured representative sport pathway for students (Years 2 - 12), including multiclass students.
