Every student participates in our annual sports carnivals and our interschool sports program (from Year 4 onwards) on a regular basis. King's also runs a large range of free or low-cost sporting activities and clubs outside of school hours, including cross-country, athletics, netball, basketball, volleyball and rugby union.
Primary School Sport
From Years 4 - 6, our students compete in interschool sport. A variety of Season 1 and Season 2 sports engage the students' interest and build their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment. In addition to these sports, students have the opportunity to represent King's at the annual swimming, athletics and cross-country carnivals.
High School Sport
The high school sports program runs throughout the school year. Intra-school and inter-school swimming carnivals are the first major events of the year. These are followed by similar events for cross-country competitors. Track and field competition becomes the focus of the sports calendar towards the end of the first semester.
Season 1 and Season 2 of inter-school sports competitions (see below) give students the opportunity to develop their team-playing skills further. Each year, students from King's scale the ladder of success and gain selection in local district, state and national teams.
House Sport
All King's students (including our Pre Preps) are assigned to one of King's four houses - Finney, Newton, Rayleigh and Tyndale. Year 3 to 12 students compete inter-house in three major sports carnivals each year: swimming, cross country and athletics. Prep to Year 2 students enjoy their own mini-versions in running and athletics. These fun and colourful events are "must sees" for parents!
King's House SystemInter-School Sports (from Year 4)
King's students from Year 4 to Year 12 are privileged to compete in regular inter-school sport. This provides an exciting opportunity for regular safe, challenging and good-spirited competition.
While everyone plays to win, the main goal of inter-school sport is to exercise, improve skills and interact with other young people in the local community. King’s students develop an attitude of fair play while striving to perform and compete at their very best.
